I had the original Pixel, the 3a XL, and now the 5a.....I had the 6 Pro for a week after the 3a XL but sold it to go back a generation to the 5a because of the camera bar along the back. I absolutely hate that bulky nonsense and I believe this current 5a will, sadly, be my last Pixel. Great, great, great phones but the physical design has moved in a direction that I can't be comfortable with.

I'm currently using a 5 as well because of the fingerprint scanner on the back. Had an LG G6 & G8 before this for the same reason, that's such a huge feature for me but sadly more and more brands are moving away from it.

Oh. Right! I forgot that was a huge factor as well. I agree with you. In fact, I got it so early after the release that the in-screen fingerprint scanner was buggy and Google had to release a fix. In all honesty, though.....I would deal with the scanner in the screen if they would get rid of the humpback. : (
