It might be the cheaper Pixel but it is still a high performer. It offers a responsive, 6.4-inch touchscreen, an in-display fingerprint scanner, water-resistant body, and more camera tech than you might expect from a sub-$1000 handset. Its biggest camera can capture 50-megapixel photos, and it’s paired with a 12megapixel ultra-wide option. Buyers might need a case to stop it slipping off the couch and protect its camera hump.
