But on the iPhone, the bezel on the bottom is designed to support the home button on, near where your thumb naturally rests when you hold the phone in your hand the Pixel, on the other hand, does not have a home button on the bottom edge, or anywhere on the front of the phone. No home button. With the screen off, the Pixel looks a lot like an iPhone, because the bezels are about the same thickness on every edge on both devices. It has solitaire. Google Assistant may still leave something to be desired (more on that below), but its ability to call up some fun ways to distract yourself-like Solitaire and other games-is an emotional balm, especially after you just spent minutes trying to get the phone to understand what you were asking it for.

Get Android updates before anyone else. The Pixel is the only Android phone available right now running 7.1-older Nexus devices might be getting it soon-but Google has said that it plans to make the newest Android operating systems available to Pixel owners before pushing it to other manufacturers’ devices. (I didn’t find that it always charged quite that rapidly in testing, however.) Google’s marketing material says that it can charge about 7 hours’ worth of battery life in about 15 minutes. Super-fast charging. Like many modern Android phones, the Pixel can charge a significant chunk of its battery in minutes. That means whatever you shoot on the Pixel can be immediately offloaded to the cloud, freeing up space on the phone.

However, it’s worth noting that if you are moving quickly through areas with changing light conditions, the Pixel struggles to maintain an even white balance.Įndless space. One of the phone’s biggest selling points is that every owner gets unlimited Google cloud storage, so they can keep all their photos and videos at full resolution. While the Pixel isn’t the only phone that has made it easy to shoot great video-the iPhone 7 is no slouch either-I found the Google phone’s ability to smooth out even the smallest jerks really excellent. The Pixel does an amazing job of digitally stabilizing what you’re shooting, meaning even those with the unsteadiest hands should be able to produce some really smooth videos:
Video image stabilization. When I first shot a video on the Pixel, I thought the phone had frozen, as the image in front of me was so still. While the iPhone 7 and Samsung’s Galaxy S7s may produce marginally different (and not necessarily better) shots in most situations- iPhone photos tend to come out warmer than Google’s phone, for example-the camera really is out of the standout reasons to buy a Pixel. The camera also has all of the regular nifty Android camera features, such as panoramic photos, 360-degree photos (called “Photo Spheres”), and “lens blur” shots, which produce a similar effect to the iPhone 7 Plus’s new “ portrait mode.”
