If you're looking for a new smartphone or interested in what Google offers this article will help you choose the most suitable Pixel phone that meets your needs and budget. We will cover the specifications including battery life and screen size, as well as our website the camera quality and software capabilities of each phone in great detail. We'll also review the models that are available to make it easier for you to select the best Pixel.

We've compiled our top picks of the best Pixel phones, starting with the top-of-the-line Pixel 7 Pro. This is the best Pixel smartphone available. It offers a premium experience for less than rival phones from Apple or Samsung. The excellent cameras (front and back) are unmatched at this price and its 6.1-inch 90Hz OLED Actua screen offers a vivid color and contrast, and the phone's powerful Tensor G2 chip handles tasks effortlessly. It's not as able to play games as quickly as Apple's iPhone 15 Pro and Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra but that will not stop the majority of users.

The second-best Pixel phone is an older, but still very capable Pixel 6a. Our readers voted this phone the seventh-best Pixel smartphone, despite being older than the other models. It provides a premium Pixel experience at a reasonable price, and is backed by the same long-term commitment to software updates as the Pixel 8 Pro. This includes quarterly Pixel feature drops that add functionality and capabilities over time.
