I've had my Pixel 5 since around the time the 6 came out. The battery life isn't great, but I can get by just fine. Maybe Samsung phone batteries are better, but before this I had a Samsung Galaxy. The battery on that was no better. I know this is anecdotal, but I don't plan to switch when my 5 croaks.
I had the 5a I I only found out it was super defective after the screen died from a small drop, apparently it's one of its common defects, aside from the motherboard failure. I replaced with a non iOS, Google or Samsung phone
