Just trying to get some conversation here in this community and also genuinely interested on your opinions!

Best thing about the pixel is it lets you sideload your own operating system from Grapheneos, Lineageos, Calyx, etc.
The only issues I have are unfortunately still common throughout the entire phone industry (No user-servicability or repairability, no SD card slot, no headphone jack)

I had quite a long list of requirements when searching for a new phone, such as:
- high Android version supported
- refurbished, to save money and resources
- relatively small size (I was happy with 5’')
- relatively light (150g can already drag some of my pants down)
- fingerprint unlock
- good battery
GSMArena kept recommending Pixel, and when I narrowed down my search, Pixel 5 was the last phone standing. So far quite happy with it!
