The Pixel is starting to show its age, right? It was a phenomenal phone way back in 2016 - and it still has the best phone camera to date - but a lot has changed in the last year, with a smattering of fantastic handsets making an appearance.

Fantastic camera; Has the latest version of Android; Fast performance

Dull design; No dust- or water-resistance

I've got Android phone since Google launched it. I was an early adopter for Nexus 6 and loved it. I'm so glad that this telephone is very light, super fast and responsive. Google's assistant is a beautiful thing, suggesting that Google's multibillion dollar investment in machine intelligence is...

The Google Pixel was up there with the best phones of 2016, and it's still one of the finest out there today. This seems like an odd thing to say, because Google's first proper attempt at a phone is missing a lot of features we take for granted now.

Stunning camera; The best version of Android; Good size for one-handed use; Super fast

Expensive; Back panel prone to scratches; Would like more storage options

First, to be clear, I'm all Mac . . . iMac, iPad and Macbook so stay with me on this. I had the iPhone since inception (2007), without deviation and lived through it all, some remarkable innovation, and when they seemed like they were on auto pilot, as of late.

A thoroughly superb phone! Both cameras are superb and the main camera produces the best shots I've ever seen on a smartphone. The OLED display is beautiful with excellent colour and brightness, even in bright sunlight.

Google's Pixel is the polished superphone Android fans have waited 8 years for.

Stellar performance; Superb camera; Bright AMOLED display; Feels high-end and polished; 24/7 support

Battery life isn't great; Not waterproof

Google has two self-branded smartphones: the 5.5-inch Pixel XL and the 5-inch Pixel. Both smartphones change the game for Google: They transform the company from a software-only Android owner that once struck deals with phone-makers to create Nexus devices into a company unafraid to branch out on...

Compact; great in-hand feel; Pixel Launcher brings added functionality; Google Assistant is the leading AI in the industry; Superb camera; Built-in chat support for all your questions and problems; Fast-charging battery and strong battery life

Design could be better; Lacks full-blown water resistance; Display is not bright enough in sunlight; Audio can distort

Easy to use; Google assistant is great; Voice recognition is very good
