The Pixel 5 isn"t quite worth its high price, especially since its software support window ends soon (October 2023). Amazon currently sells the Pixel 4A 5G for the same price as the Pixel 6A, and while it"s a good phone, it should be cheaper. You"re better off sticking with the Pixel 6A. As for older Pixels, they"re not worth picking up. They"re just too old (and the Pixel 4 suffers from poor battery performance). Many of those devices will stop getting software updates soon if they haven"t already. Buy one of the newer models.

The revamped case for the Pixel 7 series feels more durable than ever before, and you can match them with your Pixel"s color. The thermoplastic elastomer feels nice to touch, and there are raised edges on the front to protect the screen. The Pixel 7"s case is made with more than 30 percent recycled plastics, and the polycarbonate shell uses 77 percent recycled plastics. There are metal buttons for power and volume and they"re 100 percent recycled aluminum. The cases for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6A are similar but slightly different.

This is hands-down the best case if you frequently attach your Pixel to the handlebar of a bike or electric scooter. Peak Design"s mounting system lets you magnetically affix the phone to its Universal Bike Mount ($50) and it stays put—after nearly a year of testing, I"ve yet to have a phone fall off my ride using this mounting system. It doesn"t interrupt the Pixel"s wireless charging either. The company has several other magnetic accessories you can use, like a car mount. The case itself is nice; I just wish the edges were raised a bit more for better screen protection.

This is one of the best clear cases you"ll find, especially at this price, for the Pixel. The buttons are clicky, the Pixel"s color comes through clearly, and the rear doesn"t feel too sticky, which can be a problem with some clear cases.Caseology Tempered Glass Screen ProtectorPhotograph: Caseology

Pixel phones don"t have a great track record with screen durability—they scratch easily. We tested this protector originally for the Pixel 5A, but it"s not available anymore. Caseology does sell it now for the Pixel 7, Pixel 6, and Pixel 6A. Installation is easy, and it includes a squeegee to get rid of air bubbles. You get two screen protectors for the price, including a microfiber cloth, a wipe, and dust removal stickers.

This is another easy-to-apply tempered glass screen protector. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 6 version comes with two protectors, but Spigen only includes one for the Pixel 6A. Boo. You get a whole cleaning kit to wipe down your phone, an alignment tool that helps you get the application right, and a squeegee to get rid of the air bubbles.

You get only one screen protector here and it"s very expensive. That"s because Zagg claims that the protector is five times as strong as traditional screen protectors. I haven"t seen too many scuffs on my Pixel 6A yet, but take this with a grain of salt. It"s easy to apply with the included application tool, but Zagg doesn"t include a squeegee at this price so you"ll have to use your fingers to push the air bubbles out. It comes with a dust sticker, a wet wipe, and a microfiber cloth.Google Pixel Stand (Gen 2)Photograph: Google

Of the Pixels we recommend in this guide, wireless charging is available only on the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro. Google"s very own Pixel Stand is one of the best wireless chargers around because it"s simple. The base doesn"t slide around, the phone stays put, and it enables some fun features, like turning the screen into a digital photo frame and quick access to Google Assistant. It"s made of 39 percent recycled materials, with mostly eco-friendly packaging too. Our Best Wireless Chargers guide has more options. It"s also available at Best Buy.

This charging adapter is all you need to recharge your Pixel, whichever model you have. The newest high-end Pixel phones don"t come with chargers in the box, so if you don"t have any spare USB-C chargers, it"s worth picking one up. This one"s prongs don"t fold up, but it"s still really compact.

These cases are pricey, but they have raised lips and offer decent protection around the edges. The buttons are clicky, and you get a few designs to choose from for the rear, including walnut, leather, bamboo, silver pearl, and aramid fiber. (I love the walnut.) What makes this case special is that it supports MagSafe—yes, Apple"s magnetic system for accessories. I"ve used the Mous Limitless 5.0 successfully with a few MagSafe accessories, like a Belkin wireless charger, to recharge the Pixel 7 Pro. You can also go with Mous" IntraLock case to use the company"s own magnetic accessory system to hook your phone up to its bike or car mount with more security.Photograph: Spigen

Want a kickstand to prop your Pixel up? This Spigen case has one built in and it does the trick, though unfortunately, you can keep your device up only in landscape mode—not great for hands-free TikTok. It has a thick bumper offering nice protection around the edges, though there"s not much of a lip sticking out, so you"ll still want to pair it with a screen protector.

Of all the Pixel cases I"ve tried, this feels the best. It has a wonderful texture that"s pleasant to touch, and the case keeps a slim profile. The buttons remain clicky, and the ports are well-exposed. It"s affordable, but the front edges aren"t raised. There"s a good chance the screen will hit the ground when you drop it.Photograph: Moment

The Pixels have great cameras, but you can take them further by using third-party lenses like these from Moment. Slap on a fish-eye lens for a fun, distorted photo effect. Use a 58-mm telephoto to get even closer to your subject. Whatever lens you pick, you"ll need a Moment case for the system to work. Unfortunately, the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel 6A cases aren"t compatible with the lenses. Still, I like "em because they have magnets embedded inside—they"ll work with Moment"s various MagSafe mounts, like one for tripods, video lights, and mics.

It takes some effort to install this case on the Pixel, but once you do, it"s arguably the most protection you"ll find. There"s an inner two-piece polycarbonate shell that snaps over and under the Pixel, and then a thick synthetic rubber slipcover goes over for extreme durability. The buttons are surprisingly clicky, though the whole phone will be thicker, wider, and heavier. It"s made of more than 50 percent recycled plastic, and there"s a holster you can pop it in to carry your Pixel with pride on your belt. (The holster can double as a kickstand.)

There are some key features exclusive to Pixels that you won"t find on any other Android phone. Some of these are only available on select Pixels—the ones powered by Google"s Tensor chips are more capable since it"s the company"s own silicon. Here"s a quick breakdown:

To select or start something on your phone, tap it. In some apps, you can touch and hold text to find available actions, like making a restaurant reservation or playing a song.

Touch and hold an item. Without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen. When your finger is in the right place, lift it. For example, you can move apps around your Home screen by dragging them.

Quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen without pausing. For example, you can swipe a Home screen left or right to find your other Home screens.

You can take a picture (screenshot) or record a video of your Pixel phone"s screen. After you capture your screen, you can view, edit, and share the image or video.

Bought a new smartphone or want to check on the old smartphone matrix display? In this program you can test your LCD screen for the presence of dead / broken pixels and repair it. You can detect any stuck or dead pixel on your LCD screen.

If you detect any stuck or dead pixels you will be able to try to cure them. Provide easy way to fix the stuck pixel. The program will try to use different means for the treatment of stuck pixels. Also works for screen burn-in. Start and wait on the smartphone or tablet this app until the dead pixel or stuck pixel has been repaired or unstuck.

Dead pixel is stuck point or several points of the matrix screen, which does not properly reflect the color. Sometimes they are almost invisible, and you can be the owner of them without even noticing it. There are several treatments for dead pixels screen. Mechanical - physical impact directly on the affected area and a soft-that and it has me. We strongly recommend not to use the first method is for advanced users, as it is dangerous for the screen matrix.

The program can repair: Partial sub-pixel defects, Stuck sub-pixels, Dead or Broken (bad) pixels, Stuck versus dead pixels, Dark dot defects, Bright dot defects, phantoms (matrix burnup).

If within a few hours of program works the pixels is not revived, so they can not be brought back to life in this way - contact the service center. Fix your screen with this programm.

Google"s Pixel 7 and 7 Pro both support face unlock, unlike last year"s Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. If you own a Pixel 7 and haven"t set it up yet, you can do so by launching the Settings menu and tapping Security. Tap Face and fingerprint unlock and enter your PIN. From there, choose the Face Unlock option to register your face to your phone.

We"ve all been there. It"s 6 a.m., your alarm starts blaring and you barely have the energy to reach for your phone. Google makes this a little easier on the Pixel lineup by enabling you to pause or dismiss an alarm by simply saying, "Snooze" or "Stop" without requiring the "Hey, Google" trigger phrase. You can do the same for phone calls by saying "Answer" or "Decline" without having to grab your device.

Both of these features are accessible from the Pixel"s phone app. Hold For Me works on the Pixel 3 and later, while Direct My Call is available on the Pixel 3A and later. Open the Phoneapp and tap the three dots in the top right corner to get started. Choose Settings and you should see Hold for Me and Direct My Call under the Assistive section.

Certain Pixel devices can boost their refresh rates to enable faster scrolling and smoother animations, which makes the software generally feel more responsive. The Pixel 7 can bump its refresh rate up to 90Hz like the Pixel 6, while the Pixel 7 Pro can go up to 120Hz just like the Pixel 6 Pro. But since this feature increases battery usage, there are times when you might want to turn it off.

The Pixel 7 offers the best version of Android, with guaranteed security updates through fall 2027—plus the best Android smartphone camera we’ve ever tested. It also has excellent build quality and costs half as much as Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Google’s Pixel smartphones have always offered the best Android software experience, but the Google Pixel 7 proves that Google is taking the hardware seriously, as well. It has a crisp 6.3-inch OLED screen and a solid wrap-around aluminum frame. The Pixel 7 also offers the best camera performance of any Android phone save for its sibling, the Pixel 7 Pro, and Google’s custom Tensor G2 processor holds its own against the high-end chips in other phones. In addition, the Pixel 7 is more likely to remain secure for years longer than most Android phones thanks to its five years of guaranteed monthly patches. And at $600, it costs hundreds less than other Android phones that won’t last as long or perform as well.

The Google Pixel 7 Pro is similar to the Pixel 7 but adds a larger OLED screen with a higher resolution and refresh rate, more expansive 5G support, and a 5x telephoto camera. These improvements bump the price up to $900, so the value isn’t quite as strong as with the Pixel 7. But the Pixel 7 Pro is a more capable phone with the same excellent software and five years of update support.

For quite a bit less, the Pixel 6a offers the same excellent version of Android as the Pixel 7 with updates through 2027, and it has the high-end Tensor processor that debuted in the Pixel 6. The camera is a step down from those in new flagship Pixels, but it’s still better than those in some phones costing hundreds more.

The Google Pixel 6a is priced $150 lower than the Pixel 7 but still has almost every feature you might expect from a high-end phone. The Pixel 6a runs on Google’s clean, fast version of Android 13, with five years of guaranteed security updates. It also offers camera performance that surpasses what you can get from phones that may cost twice as much, though it’s not as good in that regard as the Pixel 7. On top of that, the Pixel 6a’s screen lacks the high refresh rate of the Pixel 7 and Samsung Galaxy S22 displays, so it doesn’t scroll as smoothly and isn’t as bright.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is essentially a Galaxy Note by another name. It has the biggest, brightest screen of any smartphone you can buy, and the included S Pen can help you take notes, mark up documents, and create art in ways you can’t do on any other phone. It offers the best build quality of any Android phone, with a custom aluminum-alloy frame that wraps around the edges, and the matte glass repels fingerprints. The S22 Ultra also has the best camera hardware in a phone, including a 10x “periscope” zoom lens and manual controls for more experienced photographers. Its primary drawback is its high regular price of $1,200—for $300 less, the Pixel 7 Pro is better at most things. While the S22 Ultra has better camera hardware, the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro’s camera software helps them produce great photos without the need for fine-tuning. The S22 Ultra is ideal if you demand maximum versatility from your phone, but you should buy it only on sale—we recommend purchasing when it’s closer to $1,000, or if you have an older Samsung phone to trade in.

The Galaxy S22 has the same powerful processor as the S22 Ultra, but its compact frame and smaller display make it easier to use, even if you have only one hand free.

From time to time, I’ll grab a random device out of the Verge reviews closet and spend a week or two with it. It’s mostly out of random curiosity and for the sake of comparing “old” products against the latest and greatest. Most recently, I was drawn to Google’s Pixel 5. So I gave it a factory reset, updated the phone to Android 12, and have been using it as my daily driver for the past several days.

The experience has been fantastic. I’ve got very large hands — an iPhone 13 Pro Max doesn’t look out of place in them — and I prefer large screens, so I don’t think I could fully switch over to the Pixel 5. But it’s such a good “small” phone (by 2022 standards) that I’ve certainly been tempted. The Pixel 5 makes it easy to do anything I need one-handed. Its midrange processor performs better than ever on Android 12, and this phone still looks unique next to the competition.

Above all else, I’ve come away disappointed that Google gave up on the Pixel 5’s style and size after just one year. The smallest phone in the company’s lineup is currently the Pixel 5a, which has a 6.3-inch display. To its credit, Google is shrinking things down slightly with the upcoming 6A. But with the A-series models, you’re giving up niceties like the 90Hz display and wireless charging. In those ways, the Pixel 5 might be the last of its kind in Google’s lineup. So much for the even bezels, too.

I now find myself wishing that Google would keep the 5 around as an “iPhone SE”-style product that gets brought up to speed with hardware upgrades every couple years — without losing what makes it good. Let’s cover some of the Pixel 5’s strengths.

Design and materials:The Pixel 5’s 6-inch OLED display is surrounded by thin, symmetrical bezels that go a long way in making the phone comfortable and usable in one hand. And the textured “bio resin” coating on the 5’s body results in a unique feel and reassuring grip when you’re holding it throughout the day. The volume rocker shares this texture, while the power button is glossy metal — making it easy to distinguish between the two by touch. Owing to its feel and palm-able size, the Pixel 5 is one of those phones that can go caseless without causing much consternation.

Before Google went all in on the common “glass sandwich” design with the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, previous models in the series often used distinctive materials and textures that helped the phones stand out. With the Pixel 2, it was the almost-coarse rear shell of the black model. The Pixel 4 had grippy side rails. But after the 5’s bio resin — I’m still a big fan of the Sorta Sage green colorway with this finish — Google opted for a more basic in-hand feel with last year’s flagships.

A better screen: The Pixel 6’s OLED panel might seem perfectly fine based on first impressions. But in all honesty, it’s mediocre. There are plenty of threads on Reddit complaining about uniformity issues, an unsightly green tint at lower brightness levels, and other imperfections. The Pixel 6 Pro’s gorgeous LPTO panel exhibits none of these problems, so it’s clear that Google settled for less as part of reaching the 6’s $599 price.

Even the Pixel 5’s screen seems of a slightly higher quality to me than the 6 that replaced it. They’re both 90Hz displays, but the 5’s white point, uniformity, and overall image are just a bit nicer to my eyes. This can sometimes come down to variance between individual units, but I hope to see better from the Pixel 7.

Pixel Imprint rear fingerprint sensor:I’m still let down that phone makers decided in unison to relocate the fingerprint reader from the back of the phone, where your index finger often naturally rests while holding it, to underneath the display. Google’s Pixel Imprint scanners were perhaps the fastest and most consistent in the entire Android ecosystem, and, well, let’s just say the in-screen sensor on the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro has never matched it — even after Google improved the performance through software updates.

Consistent camera performance:Google spent several years optimizing its computational photography for the 12-megapixel main camera shared by the Pixel 5 and its predecessors. And while it lacks the dynamic range of the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro and doesn’t offer features like Real Tone or Magic Eraser, the Pixel 5 is a consistent shooter. You know what you’re going to get, which can’t always be said of the Pixel 6 line. I don’t love the unpleasant-looking background blur you sometimes get from the 6’s larger sensor, but this is something Google will no doubt improve.

Although I’m mostly satisfied with the smooth performance and general responsiveness of the Pixel 5 on Android 12, there are still occasions where the midrange Snapdragon 765G processor hits a wall and gets bogged down. Snap a photo, and the frustrating delay while the phone processes the shot remains present. The 5 can also get hung up if you get overly ambitious with multitasking.

While I’m sold on the Pixel 5’s look and feel, Google’s hardware quality assurance isn’t always the best. Many units have a slight gap between the display and body. After the phone’s release, the company said the gap wasn’t anything to worry about — but it’s exactly the sort of minor detail that I find annoying.

But even with those downsides factored in, there’s still something special about this phone. I’ve come close to buying one from Woot, which is selling new, unopened Pixel 5s for $450. Apparently Google must’ve stumbled across some extra inventory in a warehouse somewhere. With Apple’s mini iPhone rumored to be cut from the upcoming iPhone 14 lineup, it seems small phones are on the way out (again). That makes this a tempting moment to buy. The only asterisk to consider in Google’s case is that software support for the Pixel 5 will end in October 2023.

But maybe by then, Google will reintroduce a small Pixel that doesn’t skimp on hardware features and doesn’t so blandly take after its larger siblings.

Last year could have been considered a year of iterative upgrades for Android flagship devices — especially in the U.S. market. This year should be more exciting, with more foldables coming and new cutting-edge camera hardware making its way to slab phones. Samsung got the ball rolling with the Galaxy S23 series, headlined by the Ultra model"s 200MP camera, OnePlus released a highly polished all-rounder at a good price, and Oppo launching a foldable phone outside the China market (sorry, Americans, it"s not coming stateside however). Google, of course, will have the Pixel 8 series, and rumors say even a foldable. This year is certainly going to be a bit more exciting than 2022 in the Android scene.

If you"re in the market for a new smartphone, we here at XDA have tested just about every phone, and these are our picks for the best in each category, depending on your need or budget.

Considering that Samsung"s Galaxy S21 and S22 Ultra held this spot for almost all of 2021 and 2022, Samsung didn"t need to do much for the Galaxy S23 Ultra to claim this spot immediately upon release, particularly in the U.S. market. And while Samsung did bring back mostly the same display, design, and internal components except for the newest Qualcomm chip, it does bring a major update: the main camera is now a 200MP sensor, capable of shooting actual 200MP photos or 12.5MP shots using 16-in-1 pixel binning.

If you find the Galaxy S23 Ultra"s $1,200 price just a tad too high, the Galaxy S23 Plus offers a lot of what made that phone great at a penny under $1,000. You won"t get that new 200MP camera, the S-Pen stylus, nor the 10x Periscope zoom lens, but you still have a beautiful 120Hz OLED screen, an excellent 50MP main camera with a respectable sensor size, a good 12MP ultra-wide lens that can grab sweeping landscape shots; and an excellent 3x telephoto zoom lens. In other words, this is a phone that can still capture some very top-notch images, even if it can"t grab those insane zoom shots or 200MP images that its bigger brother is capable of.

We"re also fans of the minimal design with the flat panel. The front and back glass are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, of course. The Galaxy S23 Plus is every bit as premium as the Ultra in terms of construction.

Another reason you may want to consider the Galaxy S23 Plus is it"s a bit smaller — the flat screen is "just" 6.6 inches — without the pointy corners of the Ultra, so it"s almost objectively a more comfortable phone to hold. That panel is still brilliant, a 120Hz Samsung AMOLED 2X panel that will be just about the best possible screen you can find anywhere.

And starting at $599, the newly released Google Pixel 7 takes this category. Despite costing almost half of the typical flagship phone, there are several key flagship features in the Pixel 7, including Google"s second-gen silicon Tensor G2 and a flagship 50MP main camera, that when paired with Google"s camera software prowess, makes for arguably the best main camera around. You also get a 6.3-inch OLED screen (slightly smaller than the Pixel 6"s 6.4-inch), IP68 water resistance, and a gorgeous, unique design with some very fun colors.

Of course, there are areas of compromise to get this phone down to this price range: the display only refreshes up to 90Hz (but Google"s UI optimization is so good that animations feel smoother than that anyway), there"s no dedicated zoom lens, and relatively slow wired and wireless charging. But these compromises are very easy to accept for those who want a phone that looks and feels like a flagship but costs half the price.

But let"s get back to that camera: the Pixel 6 brought much-needed camera hardware improvements to the Pixel series, and the 7 brings back the same 50MP GN1 sensor that has better synergy with Google"s Tensor-powered computational photography smarts. Whether it"s day or night, expect jaw-dropping images that produces lively colors, accurate white balance, and plenty of details. This is a phone that you can point and shoot and get a great shot almost every time. The ultra-wide camera is also excellent, and despite not having a zoom lens, the Pixel 7 can pull off above-average looking 8x digital zoom thanks to Google"s "Super Res" zoom that uses in-sensor cropping and computational photography trickery.

All that, and we haven"t even talked about another major Pixel selling point: this is a pure Google phone, so you can expect to get exclusive Android-Pixel features and the fastest software updates too. And with Android 12 getting one of the biggest visual overhauls in years, now is the best time to have first dibs on all things Android 12. Simply put, the Pixel 7 is the best overall value on this list and the best phone for most people.

The Google Pixel 6a brings many of the strengths of the Pixel 6 (and even the Pixel 7), including the unique back design, Google"s own silicon, and that useful and awesome Pixel software. But it is more affordable than those other phones.

So what do you lose out on by saving that extra Benjamin, and do these things matter? The Pixel 6a has a less premium outer shell. The back and side frames are plastic, while the front glass is protected by Gorilla Glass 3, not Victus, as used in the Pixel 6. This means the Pixel 6a"s front is more likely to shatter than the Pixel 6 if they were to suffer from the same drop. Ironically, the plastic back of the 6a does make it sturdier.

The Pixel 6a also has "just" IP57 water resistance compared to the Pixel 6"s IP68, this means the 6a is slightly less water- and dust-proof. Your 6a will still survive an accidental dip in the water if you fish it out immediately. The 6a"s OLED display is a bit smaller at 6.1-inch and refreshes at just 60Hz. There"s also less RAM and a slightly smaller battery.

Where the Pixel 6a does lose out to the Pixel 6 is in the main camera sensor: the 6a uses the older 12.2MP Sony IMX sensor, while the Pixel 6 uses the newer GN1 sensor with a larger image sensor. Now while Google"s computational photography is so good that the Pixel 6a can still produce beautiful-looking images, the Pixel 6 is just a bit more capable with the larger sensor. You get more depth of field in shots, and there"s just more light information for Tensor to play with.

We must stress again: the Pixel 6a"s cameras are still really good and easily the best in this price range. But if we are to compare it against the Pixel 6, the noticeable difference comes in the camera sensor. And, of course, it"s falling short to the Pixel 7 too.

If you"re in the market for a phone and you really do not want to pay more than $400, the Pixel 6a is probably the best choice. If you"re not hampered by that budget? Then sure, the Pixel 7, or any other phone listed earlier, are more capable devices.

The Google Pixel 6a is the best mid-range phone right now, particularly in North America. But we"d argue even globally, Google"s computational photography is enough to push it to the top spot too.

Every Android flagship offers a 120Hz refresh rate these days, but OxygenOS" (and ColorOS") animations just zip around noticeably faster and smoother than, say, Samsung"s OneUI, which sees dropped frames from time to time. Google"s Pixel UI has pretty smooth animations, and a case can be made for that software taking this spot, but OxygenOS is just a bit more customizable, with a better Always-On Display and more useful shortcut gestures.

The OnePlus 11 itself is a fine phone, too, running on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, with a visually striking design that sees the camera module spill over the sides and blends into the chassis, and a very good "Hasselblad" camera system headlined by a 50MP IMX890 main camera plus a 48MP ultra-wide shooter and a 32MP 2x telephoto zoom lens. Photos captured by the OnePlus 11 are vibrant with punchy colors and excellent dynamic range.

OnePlus" camera app is still arguably the best in Android — one of the few Android camera apps that can actually switch between lenses without the herky-jerky animations that you"d see when doing the same action in a Samsung or Sony phone. The OnePlus 11 is still a very, very fast phone all around, from the camera app all the way to charging speeds.

The first three Google Pixel phones were hands-down the best still camera phones around, mostly because Google"s computational photography was so far ahead of the game at the time. In the years since other phone brands have stepped up their computational photography game. Add in the fact that Google didn"t bother upgrading its camera hardware for the Pixel 4 and 5, which meant the Pixel was no longer the undisputed best camera phone around by 2019 or so.

Google regained the crown last year with the Pixel 6 Pro (at least in this category of best point-and-shoot) because it finally upgraded camera hardware to keep up with the competition. This year"s Pixel 7 Pro brings further refinement to the Pixel 6 Pro system.

The main camera of the Pixel 7 Pro is identical to the 6 Pro in terms of hardware — a 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor with a 1/1.31-inch image sensor and fast aperture. But the Pixel 7 Pro"s new silicon, the Tensor G2, improves performance, particularly in low light scenes where the Pixel 7 Pro no longer takes a long time to snap a night shot.

The 12MP ultra-wide has been improved, too, it has a wider FoV and doubles as a macro lens that works very well. Then there"s the 48MP Periscope zoom lens — this too got upgraded to a 5x optical zoom range, but Google is using some neat tricks to produce an almost lossless 10x zoom too. Essentially, the Periscope camera will shoot in pixel-binned mode in 5x mode, but in 10x mode will use the full 48MP resolution and crop into the sensor, that way, you get a "true" 10x zoom.

While the Pixel 7 Pro still lacks the awesome video capabilities of an iPhone 14 Pro, or the huge sensor magic of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, it"s arguably the best phone for people who just want to point their phone, tap the shutter button, and then get a shot they can post to social media immediately without tweaks or edits. The reason for this is software. Google"s software smarts — aka computational photography — make taking photos a joy in that you don"t really stress too much, just point and shoot and you"re going to get a shot that"s almost always perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of boosted colors and contrast (without going overboard like Samsung), accurate white balance, and enough sharpness. Even if you didn"t frame properly and accidentally captured some unwanted people, Google"s "Magic Eraser" trick can help you fix that in post with a couple of taps. Real-time dials to adjust the lighting in both the subject and background are also huge bonuses. There"s no minor shutter lag like you"d get in a Galaxy S22 Ultra or that slightly artificial over-processed look from a Huawei and, surprisingly, theiPhone 14 Pro. This is a camera that just works.

But there"s more to a phone than just the camera, so you can rest assured that the Pixel 7 Pro offers top-tier performance in all the other bits too. The 6.7-inch, 120Hz display looks great, and because it"s an LTPO panel, it has a variable refresh rate to conserve battery. All of us at XDA are also fans of the unique design of the device, particularly that striking visor and the bold colors.

I know we just waxed poetically about the Google Pixel 7 Pro"s camera prowess, but the best overall camera goes to the Vivo X90 Pro Plus. The Vivo X90 Pro Plus combines the 50MP 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor first seen in the Xiaomi 12S Ultra and combines it with not one but two zoom lenses covering the 60mm and 90mm focal length, plus a 48MP ultra-wide camera. Whether it"s image sensor size or pixel density, Vivo"s camera system is more advanced than the Pixel 7 Pro"s camera hardware. The main sensor, in particular, is significantly larger than the GN1 sensor, which allows the X90 Pro Plus to take in a lot more light and image information.

But the best part about the Vivo X90 Pro Plus"s cameras is perhaps Vivo"s self-developed ISP inside the V2 chip, which allows the X90 Pro Plus to produce uncanny HDR photos that almost never blow out any light source. Yes, even the Pixel 7 Pro loses to the Vivo X90 Pro Plus in this regard.

The only downside to the Vivo X90 Pro Plus is that the phone is only selling in China for now, which means many readers can"t buy this officially. Still, we cover smartphones on a global scale — we can"t just pretend a phone doesn"t exist just because it sells only in China — and the Vivo X90 Pro Plus has arguably the best overall camera system. Even if the Pixel 7 Pro is still an easier-to-use point-and-shoot camera.

So what makes the ROG Phone 6 Pro a gaming beast? Let"s start with the 165Hz display, which can run at the highest refresh rate full-time without micro-stutters. Do note the panel isn"t an LTPO panel, however, but it"s not a big deal for a game-centric phone. The screen is also entirely uninterrupted because the selfie camera is situated in the thin bezel above. The display also has a touch sampling rate of 720Hz, which means it scans for input every 1.4ms, and Asus says that thanks to the increased touch sampling rate, the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro has a touch latency of 23ms.

Because this is a gaming phone, the ROG Phone 6 Pro offers functional shoulder buttons named "AirTriggers" that give extra control to first-person shooters in ways most normal smartphones cannot. There"s also a rear display named "ROG Vision," which allows you to display graphics on it for some flair.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 seems at first like a very minor and iterative update over the already excellent Galaxy Z Fold 3, but Samsung made several small but crucial, improvements.

First, Samsung shaved a few millimeters off the hinge"s bulkiness, so it does not protrude from the side of the phone as much as before. Samsung then gave that extra bit of space to the outer display, so the screen is ever so slightly wider. This is a good thing as the Fold series" outside screen has always been a bit elongated and cramped.

Then, Samsung improved the camera hardware. The Fold 3"s trio of 12MP shooters were decent at best, but this year, the Fold 4 gains a 50MP image sensor with a larger 1/1.53-inch image sensor size. The 10MP zoom lens has also been improved to a 3X telephoto lens. The ultra-wide remains the same, however, at 12MP, but Samsung"s superior computational photography has improved performance a bit.

Samsung also fine-tuned the software to further take advantage of the larger display. One of our favorite new features is the taskbar, which is a bar that runs along the bottom of the phone, listing your most used or last used apps. From this bar, you can quickly cycle through apps without ever jumping back out to the homescreen. You can, of course, get rid of this bar if you don"t need it or don"t want the distraction.

Samsung also further worked with third-party app developers to take advantage of the Fold 4"s larger display. For example, Spotify and Google Meet will open with a layout specifically designed for the Fold"s larger screen.

With a 4,400 mAh battery, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 has enough juice to power the device through a whole day, and for those of us at XDA who owns one, the device has had no trouble making it through an entire day on a single charge. If you want to top up, the phone can be charged wired or wirelessly. There"s also reverse wireless charging to charge, say, the Galaxy Buds.

If you want a phone that can be both a tablet and a smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is hard to beat right now. If you find it a bit too big, however, then Samsung has a smaller option for you, too — see below.

If you have ever lamented the escalating size of smartphones and want something that won"t create a bulge in your pocket, then the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is worth considering. Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which is a tablet that folds into a phone, the Flip 4 is a normal-sized smartphone that folds into a compact square, about the dimensions of a coaster or a makeup compactor (dimensions: 84.9 x 71.9 x 17.1 mm). Samsung didn"t change much in terms of overall hardware and design from the outside, but last year"s Flip 3 was universally acclaimed for its beautiful and functional design. This means you still have a 6.7-inch 120Hz main screen and a 1.9-inch outside cover screen.

Samsung improved the usability of the outside screen by allowing it to display any app you choose now. While some apps will look absolutely ridiculous on the tiny display, for the most part, it"s good news that you"re not limited to just seeing widgets on the outside screen. This means you can use the Flip a bit more when it"s closed.

The hinge"s ability to stay halfway folded in place — which Samsung calls "Flex Mode" adds a whole slew of new use cases to the Galaxy Z Flip 4. For example, you can fold it in an L-shape, place it on a tabletop, and have a hands-free video calling or watching machine. Likewise, you can shoot time-lapses or long-exposure shots without needing a tripod or hold the phone up yourself.

And with a starting price of $999, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is still the most affordable foldable phone that"s sold worldwide. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 was a huge hit and became semi-mainstream in wealthier, high-spending countries like the US, South Korea, and Singapore. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 should continue that trend.

Okay, so the Google Pixel 7 technically isn"t "stock" Android because stock Android is the bare-bones open-source Android (AOSP) usually seen in a few entry-level budget phones from obscure brands. Instead, the Pixel 7 runs a Google-modified version of Android 13, but because this is Android the way Google sees it, in our opinion, this makes this Pixel-ified experience is a far more important signifier of "how Android should be" than plain old stock Android.

And if you want that true Google Android experience, the Pixel 7 series are the phones to get. We listed the standard Pixel 7 here because we still think it"s the best Pixel phone for most people. The Pixel experience with the 7 series isn"t going to feel radically different for those who have already used the Pixel 6 series — Android 13 with Material You is a refinement year than a major overhaul year.

The so-called "Material You" is Google"s way of making the Pixel Android experience feel more personal — with your homescreen wallpaper and creating a palette to color the system interface. Throughout the UI, there are whimsical Google touches, such as buttons of varying sizes and shapes.

Other than the excellent software, you"re getting an excellent phone, too with the Pixel 7. The 6.4-inch, 1080 x 2400 OLED screen refreshes at 90Hz and looks great most of the time. The camera system here is among the very best point-and-shoot cameras around. On the Pixel 7, the 50MP sensor is backed by Google"s epic photo-processing algorithms that will find proper balance and dynamic range in every situation.

The Pixel 7 may not be the absolute most powerful phone around — the Tensor G2 scores lower than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 in many benchmarks — but the software is smart and understands context better than any other phone. Add in a unique two-tone finish and a really attractive price, and it"s hard to name anything else in this spot if you want the best phone running Google"s vision of Android. Of course, the Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 6a will fit that need the same.

The Oppo Find X5 Pro is a highly polished premium flagship that can go toe to toe with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in almost every area except two: its zoom lens isn"t nearly as good, and it lacks a stylus. Otherwise, in all other areas, the OPPO Find X5 Pro either at least matches the Galaxy S22 Ultra or beats it. Let"s start with the display, the Find X5 Pro"s 6.7-inch, WQHD+ OLED panel is every bit as good as the Galaxy S22 Ultra"s screens: it uses the same LTPO 2.0 technology, it gets virtually as bright to the human eye, and color reproduction and viewing angles are all a virtual tie. Then there"s the processor, the Find X5 Pro packs the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip that"s powering the Galaxy S22 Ultra"s US/China/India versions; and the Find X5 Pro"s 50MP main camera can trade blows with the S22 Ultra"s main cameras in any condition.

As for areas in which the Find X5 Pro wins, there are objective wins, like the Find X5 Pro having a noticeably superior ultra-wide camera. This is due to the fact that Oppo used the exact same Sony IMX sensor for both the wide and ultra-wide camera, and while there"s still a bit of quality dropoff between the wide and ultra-wide lens, it is much smaller than in other phones. The Find X5 Pro also has a ceramic unibody design that many of us find very premium and comfortable to hold.

The Find X5 Pro can go toe-to-toe with the Galaxy S22 Ultra in almost every area, so if this phone is available in your region, it"s a great alternative to Samsung"s flagship.

If productivity is paramount, then two screens are obviously better than one, and right now, the only dual-screen phone on the market that isn"t running on outdated hardware is the Microsoft Surface Duo 2. Bringing back the premise of the original, the Surface Duo 2 is essentially two screens attached by a very well-built 360-degree hinge. While the first model had a very mediocre single-camera setup, an outdated SoC (even at the time of shipping), and a small battery, the Surface Duo 2 improves on all three of these areas.

First, there"s a proper camera now, consisting of a 12MP, f/1.7 main, 16MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP 2x telephoto zoom lens. Unfortunately, this also means the machine has a camera protrusion now, so the two screens cannot flip backward and stay flat as before.

Next, Microsoft put the Snapdragon 888 into the Surface Duo 2, which at the time of the phone"s release was still a flagship chip. It"s two generations old now, but it still brings enough processing power for most users. The battery capacity has also been increased to 4,449 mAh, which despite the two screens, can power the machine for a full 12-, 13-hour day on a single charge. The bezels around the screen have also shrunk a bit — though they"re still sizable — and the screen refresh rate has been bumped up to 90Hz. So in terms of hardware, the Surface Duo 2 is an improvement in every way.

When the Surface Duo 2 works as intended, this thing is a multitasker"s dream: run two apps at the same time on separate screens, or stretch one app across two screens to see more content. Or fold the phone halfway and watch videos or take video calls hands-free. Another usage I enjoy is holding the phone "sideways," and using the bottom screen to display a keyboard while the top screen is showing Google Docs or WhatsApp. It reminds me of old-school clam-shell PDAs. The possibilities aren"t quite endless — but there are many of them.

If we must pick the best overall phone here, it"d be the Galaxy S23 Ultra. But the Google Pixel 7 and OnePlus 11 being several hundred dollars cheaper makes them very, very appealing. For those who don"t mind importing, the Oppo Find X5 Pro or Vivo X90 Pro Plus brings awesome hardware. But ultimately, if you have money to spend though, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is still the ultimate do-it-all device.

Electrically operated display devices have developed from electromechanical systems for display of text, up to all-electronic devices capable of full-motion 3D color graphic displays. Electromagnetic devices, using a solenoid coil to control a visible flag or flap, were the earliest type, and were used for text displays such as stock market prices and arrival/departure display times. The cathode ray tube was the workhorse of text and video display technology for several decades until being displaced by plasma, liquid crystal (LCD), and solid-state devices such as thin-film transistors (TFTs), LEDs and OLEDs. With the advent of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), integrated circuit (IC) chips, microprocessors, and microelectronic devices, many more individual picture elements ("pixels") could be incorporated into one display device, allowing graphic displays and video.

One of the earliest electronic displays is the cathode ray tube (CRT), which was first demonstrated in 1897 and made commercial in 1922.electron gun that forms images by firing electrons onto a phosphor-coated screen. The earliest CRTs were monochrome and were used primarily in oscilloscopes and black and white televisions. The first commercial colour CRT was produced in 1954. CRTs were the single most popular display technology used in television sets and computer monitors for over half a century; it was not until the 2000s that LCDs began to gradually replace them.

A derivative of CRTs were storage tubes, which had the ability to retain information displayed on them, unlike standard CRTs which need to be refreshed periodically. In 1968, Tektronix introduced the Direct-View Bistable Storage Tube, which went on to be widely used in oscilloscopes and computer terminals.

1968Direct-View Bistable Storage Tube CRT retains static information displayed upon it, written using a steerable electron beam that can be turned off. The DVBST was used in vector displays of early computers and in oscilloscopes.

1984 Super-twisted nematic display (STN LCD) to improve passive-matrix LCDs, allowing for the first time higher resolution panels with 540x270 pixels.

Some early pre-orders for the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are already arriving in our readers’ hands, and though the shipping dates have slipped out pretty far now, more and more of you will be able to enjoy the phones with each passing day. As you sit down to play with them, digging into the settings menu to dial things in just right, we’ve got a few tips of our own that can help make the best of the experience, fixing frustrations we ran into and enabling features that aren’t on by default.

You don’t have to turn all these things on, but some of them are pretty handy if you’re used to the way things used to be on your old phone, but there are a few handy features in Google’s flavor of Android 12 that just aren’t turned on by default you should be aware of.

One of the coolest features for Android 12 on Google"s Pixels is the dynamic theming system that makes the new Material You look shine. But, one of the best things about it is actually disabled by default, and you"ll have to manually flip it on to experience it. If you navigate to Wallpaper & style (either via Settings -> Wallpaper & Style or by long-pressing in an empty area of the home screen and selecting the option), there"s a feature called "themed icons," which is currently in beta and disabled by default. When it"s turned on, though, some system and Google-made apps will change their icon theme to match your Material You system theme.

This feature won"t work for almost all third-party apps (the APIs required may actually still be undocumented, though some developers like Inware"sDylan Rousell got it working). For some of you, a mix of perfectly matched icons with defaults could be more frustrating than just leaving things as they are, but the feature it also tints the Pixel Launcher"s Google search bar and its icons to match. We think it"s fun, and it"s worth turning on.

I don"t know why, and we thought it was a bug when we ran into it during the developer previews and betas, but Google has switched the default grid size for the Pixel launcher to 4x5 rather than 5x5 as it was before. That doesn"t just mean that app icons and their labels are huge; it also limits how you can place widgets. Many of Google"s snazzy new ones are resizeable, and having a little extra granularity when it comes to spacing can help you come up with a nicer layout.

Everyone at Android Police who has picked up one of the new phones has found the new, bloated look odd, especially since prior Pixels defaulted to 5x5 on Android 11. Thankfully, you can flip it back to a less literally shortsighted appearance.

Out of the box, the Pixel 6 Pro ships with dark theme enabled, Night Light disabled, and an oversaturated color setting. I changed all three, but you should at least check out the options in Settings -> Display and decide what you like best.

Night Light tints the display redder, which is ostensibly better for your circadian rhythm and late-night phone use. Both the intensity of the effect and a schedule for it can be configured. I actually like to set Night Light to kick in after sunset (though that"s still an option) at around an hour before my usual bedtime.

Lastly, you have your color options, which adjust the saturation for the display. "Adaptive" is the default, but I find that "natural" is closer to a calibrated color space compared to other devices. You might think that"s too muted, but it means photos and videos in more apps will look "correct" rather than overly colorful or excessively punchy. There"s also a "boosted" setting that"s sort of in the middle, but you should play with the options at least before you settle with something that might mess up how photos or videos look.

With the Pixel 6 series and Android 12, Google changed things up so that the power button triggers the Assistant with a long press, like what Samsung, OnePlus, and Apple have done. Accessing the power menu now requires tapping the power button together with the volume up button. But if you aren"t a fan of Google following all its friends by jumping off this particular bridge, you can turn the long-press Assistant off and go back to the way things used to be, with a long-press of the power button triggering the power menu.

This setting lives in Settings -> System -> Gestures -> Press and hold power button. It"s a single toggle, and turning it off disables that long-press Assistant. However, we recommend you enable another method to access the Assistant to replace it.

That corner-in swipe we"re used to using with the old navigation gesture schema is also disabled by default now, but it can be re-enabled in Settings -> System -> Gestures -> System navigation -> Gesture navigation with the settings cog icon on the right. Unfortunately, so far as we can tell, there"s no way to enable the old long-press home Assistant functionality if you use three-button navigation.

If you"re still waiting for your own to arrive, I hope all this talk of toggles isn"t too tormenting. You can also check out our (frankly, effusive) reviews again for both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro while you wait (or grab one of the best Pixel 6 Pro cases). Given some of the delays certain retailers are experiencing, we hope you don"t have to twiddle your thumbs for too long.
