Hell no, do NOT buy a pixel, those things are worse than any phone made in the last 5 years. Terrible battery, terrible radios, avoid pixel at all costs

Completely disagree. I've had the 2xl,3a xl and now the 4a5g and they have been great for me.

My bad, I meant just the 6 series. I had all of the above as well, including the 5a and had much better luck. 6 series is the dumpster fire

I originally was on the Pixel train until I started paying attention to radiation levels in cell phones, theirs are some of the highest levels.

I have the 5G Ace. I don't see anything better than that.

Don't buy this, Motorola has said this phone is not getting android 12. You'd be buying two of the same unsupported phone.

You can get a Pixel 4a5g or Pixel 5 for right at $300 from Swappa or Amazon Renewed and it has better cameras and software.

This phone isn't renewed and has virtually bigger and better everything than that pixel 4a5g. This phone doesn't have a barometer so maybe that's why you prefer the high rad pixel phones.

Bigger and better? You mean better because they don't receive timely updates? Or ANY updates for that matter? A good deal doesn't make it a good product.
By the way, you didn't do your research AT ALL. The Motorola Edge emits the most radiation of any phone. Even more than ANY Pixel. Stop talking out your ass and listening to other idiots who didn't do their research.


Don't buy Motorola phones. They have good hardware, but support is non-existent. You may as well toss it in the trash after one year.
