5G is available in major centers and should be coming to my home town soon. Love the improved battery. I can go 3 days on a charge instead of 1. I also went for the Pixel because of the high rating the camera receives. I probably would have stayed with Samsung if their top phones had headphone jacks, but it's only available on one of the lower end models. I tend not to go with the very top of the line as those phones are well over $1000 through our carrier (and they lock you in for 2 years), although the Pixel 6 is only C$800 direct from Google. At C$650 the Pixel 5a was good value and I'm no longer locked in. Yep. All good things. I personally think getting a flagship phone, but not really using the features is just a massive waste of money. $1k for a phone every two years or so is crazy. You'd have a nice speaker budget in a few years if we just got something cheaper. I'm lucky enough to get phones for free from work, but they're usually not flagship models.
