EDITORIAL: The new Pixel Pro is a bit smaller, beautifully crafted phone with excellent screen, great camera setup and a very long list of AI (and other features) baked into OS with long support plan. Price is up but still gets you only a mediocre processor and a shamefully bad battery (in both endurance and charging speed) for a $1,100 lounch price.

PROs
flagship build with a new 5-color RGB light, excellent and very bright 2400nits ~500ppi 120Hz LTPO OLED screen with HDR10+, IP68 protection, very good 50MP 25mm OIS main + 48MP 106mm OIS periscope telephoto + 48MP 12mm ultrawide (all PDAF) setup, excellent 42MP 18mm PDAF selfie, good video recording, feature rich OS with a promise of 7 years of updates, basic desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.2 port, Satellite SOS Service
CONs
midrange Tensor G6 (3nm) with UFS 4.0 performance, 24hr endurance from a sub-5000mAh lithium battery with slow 80min 25W (25W wireless) charging, low PWM screen dimming rate will give headaches to some users, no expandable memory, gone is the skin temperature sensor, limited market availability, expensive at lounch

EDITORIAL: This year Vivo meaningfully improved the battery (from 6000mAh to 7000) and upgraded last year's 2x zoom camera to a proper 3x periscope telephoto. Vivo is adding other improvments too making it's IQOO line a true flagship killer. The screen is now as good as any phone's screen with proper Dolby and HDR10+ certification and off-the-chart brightness, added SuperComputing Q3 chip assists the top-of-the-line Qualcomm processor in intensive tasks, OS update promise is now 5 years, a LED ring around the camera island signals notification and battery status, gaming is made even better... This phone is a great option if great imaging is not on your must-have list

PROs
flagship hardware, top SD 8 Elite Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 and Q3-chip-to-assist performance, excellent 2day endurance from a 7000mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 100W charging (40W wireless). >130nits (going up to 3000nits) bright 510ppi 144Hz LTPO OLED with high frequency dimming and Dolby Vision, IP69 protection, great 50MP 24mm OIS PDAF main + very good (up to 6x zooml 50MP 85mm PDAF periscope tele + average-at-best 50MP 15mm AF ultrawide, 5 years of OS updates, fast USB-C 3.2 port with OTG functionality and great gaming chops
CONs
color changing back panel may not be everyone's cup of tea, unimpressive 32MP non-AF selfie, average (or worse) video recording, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality or even Video Out, limited market availability
