    The reviewer's favorite Pixel ever, with excellent cameras and display, though gaming performance and all-day battery disappoint.

    Called the best all-round phone available, polished and well supported, with no major weaknesses beyond size and price.

    WIREDHands-on review

    Calls the series Google's best phones yet, with Qi2, good performance and cameras, though heavy generative AI and some unpolished features irritate.

    Trusted ReviewsHands-on review · 2025

    A really good big phone with useful AI, a great display and consistent cameras, though not a big leap and weak for gaming.

    Tom's GuideHands-on review · 2025

    Modest but effective upgrades make it Google's most capable phone this year, with a bright display and best-in-class software, though power and battery efficiency lag.

    Magnetic charging is fun, but few upgrades and weak battery life make it poor value, and the cheaper Pixel 10 or Galaxy S25 Ultra look better.
