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

* BEST Phone Spring Summer 2024* TOP Screen* TOP Selfie* TOP Video Recording* TOP Software* TOP Desktop Replacement
EDITORIAL: This 2024 phone is that good. Samsung fit everything in there, a stylus, 6 cameras (!), the best screen in the industry and (almost) 24 hours of battery life. In 2024, this was the best phone ever made by the world's biggest phone making corporation. It had the most features too, by far. Samsung also included seven years (!) of OS updates as well as amazing desktop replacement (DeX) software. Consider that at 79 mm wide, this is a "two hands and a bag" phone.
PROs
SnapDragon 8 Gen 3 processor fast performance, 1400+nits 500+ppi LTPO AMOLED with HDR10+, 200MP OIS main + 10MP OIS tele + 50MP OIS tele and a 12MP ultrawide (all with PDAF), 12MP PDAF Selfie, top AI features trickling down with software updates, 7 years of OS updates, stylus with Bluetooth and of course: the DeX feature that may save you from buying a new computer
CONs
size, barely a day of battery endurance with slow charging, lack of expandable SDmemory storage
