* TOP Selfie* TOP SoftwareMidrange

EDITORIAL: New vanilla Pixel comes with faster UFS (but only on a 256GB version) and a proper 5x tele lens on the back. The rest is (as we're growing to expect from Google) similar: mediocre Tensor performance, short battery endurance with very slow charging, very bright (tho non-LTPO) screen, decent imaging performance (from the main and ultrawide lenses that are actually downgraded) and exceptional software experience with a industry leading 7 years of OS updates promise.

PROs
flagship build, bright 2000nits 422ppi 120Hz OLED screen with HDR10+, IP68 protection, reliable 48MP 25mm main + 10.8MP 112mm telefoto + 13MP ~13mm ultrawide (all 3 PDAF) setup, excellent 10.5MP 20mm PDAF selfie, good video recording, OS loaded with AI and other features and a up to 7 years of updates promise, basic desktop replacement functionality and Satellite SOS Service in some markets
CONs
midrange Tensor G5 processor with UFS 4.0 (3.1 on 128GB version) performance, just a day of endurance from a 4970mAh battery with 90min slow 30W (15W wireless) charging, no memory expansion slot, limited market availability, expensive for it's hardware

EDITORIAL: Like clockwork, Vivo took 6 months to bring a V60 update but this time the improvements are massive. V70 is almost 3mm narrower (!) and comes with a metal frame, same big battery, higher res screen and much faster memory. Processor and cameras are the same. Vivo is again positioning the V series at the top of the midrange world with a true and tried formula (great battery life + bright screen + reliable imaging).

PROs
narrower and better built with a more premium feel, fast UFS 4.1 memory, >30hr endurance from a 6500mAh Si/C Lithium battery with sub-60min 90W charging, >1900nits bright 450ppi AMOLED screen with HDR10+ certification, IP69 protection, very good 50MP 23mm OIS PDAF main + 50MP 85mm OIS PDAF periscope telephoto + an okay 8MP 15mm ultrawide setup, excellent 50MP 21mm AF selfie, Zeiss tech on all cameras, up to 4 years of updates of mature OriginOS
CONs
good SD 7 Gen 4 performance may not not be enough after 2 or 3 years of AI feature updates, no wireless charging, non-LTPO screen tech, no AF on a 8MP ultrawide, no expandable memory or Video out on a slow USB-C 2.0 port
