* TOP MidrangerMidrange

EDITORIAL: Google's competition with iPhone Pro is a proper midranger: the processor, memory, benchmarks, battery show that Google doesn't think it is a battle they can win. The screen and cameras are almost flagship grade, close to iPhone Pro level and the rest of the best (Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, Huawei).

PROs
compact and premium build, excellent >2200nits bright 490ppi LTPO OLED screen with HDR10+, IP68 protection, (almost) flagship grade 50MP 24MM OIS main + 48MP 110mm OIS telephoto + 48MP 12mm ultrawide (all with PDAF) back camera setup, excellent 42MP 18mm PDAF selfie, clean and stock Android interface with tons of AI features, a promise of 7 years of OS updates, fast USB-C 3.2 port
CONs
midrange grade Google Tensor G4 chip with (non-flagship) UFS 3.1 memory, only 24hr endurance from a 4700mAh small Lithium battery with slow 90min 27W (12W wireless) charging, inconsistent video recording, no expandable memory or desktop replacement functionality from the company that makes Android,

* TOP SoftwareMidrange

EDITORIAL: Honor improved it's midrange offering with a (last year top) flagship chip, a great screen, a 200MP main camera and a 6 year long support for OS updates. Both main and telephoto cameras produce great shots in all conditions. A 2nd (FOV) lense on the front makes up for lack of AF on a 50MP selfie and also delivers iPhone-like face unlock. What a shame that there is no video out from the very slow USB-C port.

PROs
excellent SD 8 Gen 3 performance, >30hr life from a 5300mAh Si/C battery with sub-40min 100W (50W wireless) charging, excellent pics from a 200MP OIS main + 50MP OIS tele + 12MP ultrawide (all PDAF) back cameras, excellent 50MP selfie with a FOV second lens and 6 years of OS updates
CONs
slow USB-C port, no video out, memory expansion or desktop replacement functionality
