What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the exceptionally bright display, the longest battery life of any Pixel so far and Google's AI features. The common criticisms are the price against more powerful phones and only minor camera improvements; GSMArena found battery life still behind rivals and video quality lacking, and Tom's Guide objected to 128 GB base storage.
