Why choose a Google Pixel smartphone?
You have plenty of options if you're shopping for an new Android phone. But only Google Pixel smartphones were designed by Google, the same company that created the Android operating system. So these phones include a bunch of useful and customizable features that other Android 13 phones don't. For example, you get advanced security and privacy tools powered by the Titan M2 security chip. This includes a VPN powered by Google One. The phones are powered using Google's own Tensor G3 processor and offer an extremely impressive battery life -- up to 24 hours of basic phone usage, such as surfing or texting.
We also highly recommend the Google Pixel smartphones because they each offer a beautiful display and a powerful integrated camera system. For example, the Pixel 8 Pro offers a 6.7-inch Super Actua display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a main rear-facing camera that offers 50MP resolution. The Google Pixel 8 offers a 6.2-inch Actua display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a main rear-facing camera with 50MP resolution.
Another benefit of the Google Pixel phones is that they integrate seamlessly with all Google apps and services, including Workplace apps, the Chrome web browser, Maps, Photos and Gmail. In fact, when it comes to taking and then editing photos and videos, these phones offer exclusive tools you won't find elsewhere, like an unblur feature, the Night Sight feature, and the Magic Editor. This lets you erase unwanted objects from a photo with a few taps. Plus, the Google Assistant has been enhanced with AI-based features, so it can provide more accurate information even faster.
In our recently updated round up of the best Android smartphones of 2023, the Google Pixel 8 Pro was one of our top picks.
