Google Pixel 5

[kEvinErd]

Finally placed my pixel 5 order. I'm getting US set since there is a USD 50 off in Amazon US.

Some said US set's 5G can work in Singapore. Anyone can confirm that?

Some said..? No one here ever said so. Who’s the “some”? Anyway I read from XDA that Pixel 5 is configured such that it will only support 5G in countries it’s officially sold in. Seems though there’s a way to get around if you root and modify the phone.

Surprisingly no more lag and very smooth compare to 2xl

Such a big upgrade confirm can notice the difference.

Thinking of trying it....but like quite complicated and might risk google pay.

Any bro here tried ? Haha

not worth the effort with risk breaking gpay... each sw update might revert to not working as well.. the 5G speeds in SG now are also mediocre at best

ya lor. Tbh it's still not worth the upgrade now lor. Maybe 1-2years down the road. By then, google might come out with a 5g phone in singapore liao.

hahaha.. i won't call them stupid thou. they are incompetent!
1)P2XL till date no VoLTE and Wifi-Calling
2) P3/P3XL has hardware capabilities for Dual sim support (DSDS) but only one IMEI!!!

from historic perspective, P5 will remain a LTE phone with 5G hardware capabilities.... whahahahahahaha.. google you damn solid!

from historic perspective... you can dream on..
P2XL waited for VoLTE and wifi-calling until end of support... hahahahahaha
when P3/P3XL got VoLTE and wifi-calling, i though P2XL will be supported as well.. I was just dreaming!
you think google care? it was something they could have fixed really really easily

Not to mention the VoLTE support is not across the board for all telcos.. Even China ROM Xiaomis have better VoLTE support.

For those that bought from amazon UK is it from this?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B08JLS7MZ2/ref=olp_f_usedLikeNew?f_usedLikeNew=true

So it's brand new, but open by the supplier to unlock only ah?

Do I need to do anything else after receiving it in SG? And is there any manufacturing warranty from google SG?

Anybody tried getting the aussie or TW version?

For those who have successfully bought their Pixel 5 sets from UK Amazon and received the phone, can anyone confirm if you are able to get 5G signal with Singtel SIM?
