The Pixel 5 has almost the exact same "small" dimensions as the Galaxy S10e (Pic in post)

Case in point: [https://i.imgur.com/h4AD11v.png](https://i.imgur.com/h4AD11v.png)

Pixel 5: 144.7 x 70.4 x 8.0 mm

S10e: 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm

I thought this was interesting to point out, as "small" Android phones are rare these days.

There are no reviews out yet for the Pixel 5, and it may not exactly be an upgrade. The Snapdragon 765G is 21% slower than the 855 that comes with the S10e. The design doesn't look quite as nice from the back in the Pixel.

What may make the Pixel 5 interestin...

Pixel 4A 5g and Pixel 5 naming

Anyone else think Google's naming of the 4a 5g makes no sense. The 4a 5g is closer to the 5 than the 4a. Wouldn't it have made way more sense to call the 4a 5g the Pixel 5, and the Pixel 5 the Pixel 5+.

Surely the average consumer will assume the only difference between the 4a and the 4a 5g is the addition of 5g and might not bother to check the specs. As 5g isn't much of an issue yet, particularly in a mid range phone....

FYI/TIL - Google's Find My Phone "Play Sound" function is overridden by the Do Not Disturb function.

Last night, during my DND time, I thought I'd lost my phone, couldn't find it anywhere. Called it, no ringing heard in the house. Afraid I'd left it somewhere I pull up the Maps timeline and it says it's here at home. So I used the "Play Sound for 5 minutes" function...nothing. Played it a number of times, walking round the house, the yard, etc. Nothing.

This morning I tried again and it immediately rang in the house. It had fallen on to a chair and was covered by something.

The "Play Sound" s...

PSA: Google Play Store cache can get gigantic. Mine was 11 GB.

I was trying to find what was taking up all the space in my phone, and it turned out to be Google Play Store. 11 GB cache is crazy! I can't believe such an essential app is so poorly optimized....
