    Considered an easy go-to entry flagship thanks to magnetic charging, a telephoto lens and good cameras and AI.

    Seen as the biggest upgrade in years at the same price, bringing Pro-like features such as 5x zoom and useful AI.

    The VergeHands-on review · 2025

    A fairly priced, easygoing Android phone with magnets and a telephoto, held back mainly by cameras that are fine rather than great.

    Looks like last year's phone but justifies its price with a telephoto lens, magnetic charging and useful AI.

    A solid step up with magnetic charging, a good telephoto and an excellent display, and the best value among the new Pixels.

    TechRadarHands-on review · 2025

    Strong design, display and software make it a good option for iPhone switchers, but performance and battery are average and discounts are likely.

    Trusted ReviewsHands-on review · 2025

    Great software and a nice screen, but camera downgrades, weak thermals and a modest refresh range make it hard to recommend at the price.
