bezels are ever so slightly thicker than the Pixel 5 s
minimal distortion near the edges of the image
anything too heavy at it -- mostly just endless rounds of Solitaire
slower screen stutters
it kicks in by default
the battery life to be an issue
getting images that are pushed either too warm or too cool

no phone in this price range that
Live View with directional arrows and distances
5G does have a leg up over its smaller sibling
going to last more than a day
There's no wireless charging
screens with slim edges around
The batteries on both Pixels have been bumped up over their predecessors
The Pixel line may no longer get the highest marks or industry scores
