What the reviewers said

Tech Advisor UK

3.5/5Sep 30, 2026

Best-in-class stills camera and solid Pixel software, but poor battery life and several compromises make it hard to recommend.

  • Excellent main camera for stills
  • Telephoto lens delivers sharp zoomed shots
  • Live HDR and Night Sight improvements
  • Clean, modern Pixel software experience
  • 90Hz display and new radar motion controls
  • Battery life among the worst at its price
  • Video quality lags behind rivals
  • Face Unlock works with eyes closed
  • Fingerprint sensor removed
  • Large front bezel despite notch removal
