Pixel 7 Pro: Best Android phone
If you are buying an Android smartphone right now and want the best that the platform offers, I have to steer you toward Google’s Pixel 7 Pro. The camera system remains unparalleled, and Android 13 is improving with every Pixel feature drop trickling out.
Its companion smartphone, the smaller Pixel 7, has a bit of a different ranking. Though I chose it as my companion phone for the next year, I did so because of the size, access to the main camera algorithm, and its software update rollout. Despite Samsung (and OnePlus’s) promise to provide up to four years of software updates on their respective devices, they’re always behind the latest version of Android when the Pixel gets it. That can cause issues if you’re highly reliant on the Google ecosystem, like I am.
