Our score out of 10
Best for Photographers who would rather not edit anything
The verdict
The photography pick, and the cheapest route into a genuinely premium Android phone if you shop the discounts.
Pros and cons
What we liked
- Best straight-out-of-camera image processing
- Seven-year update commitment
- Cleanest Android build available
What we didn’t
- Weakest battery life of the flagships here
- Tensor runs warm under sustained load
Our review
Google's computational photography still produces the most usable image straight out of the camera, and the Tensor G4 handles on-device processing nobody else matches. The seven-year update commitment matches Samsung.
Battery life and sustained gaming performance are the compromises, and Tensor runs warm under load. Google Store carries no publisher commission, so every link below routes to a retailer stocking the identical unit, frequently below Google's own price.
