Pros

Camera

5x optical telephoto lens: A stunner that delivers crisp detail and makes zoom shots truly useful.

Pro-tier photographic output: Combined with the rest of the camera array, overall photographic output flirts with professional quality.

Improved low-light handling: Offers stronger low-light photography performance.

Computational photography magic: Demonstrates Google’s strength in computational photography.

Design

Sleek silhouette: Keeps the familiar sleek silhouette and ergonomic finesse.

Display

High-quality OLED display: Display is blindingly bright, silky smooth, and among the sharpest panels on the market.

Battery

Qi2 wireless charging: Offers wireless charging with magnetic alignment.

Reliable battery endurance: Gets through a full day and often into the next without drama.

Software

Android 16 desktop mode: Brings a genuinely useful desktop mode for productivity.

AI-powered tools: Suite of AI features mostly enhance rather than annoy.

Opt-in AI features: Feels more opt-in, offering occasional delights rather than constant nudges.

Future-proof OS support: Seven promised OS upgrades make it a long-term investment.

Other

MagSafe compatibility: Compatible with MagSafe accessories, adding versatility.

Cons

Performance

Weak Tensor G5 performance: Continues to drag the overall package down compared to rivals.

Lags behind Snapdragon and Apple: In both synthetic tests and real-world gaming.

Thermal throttling: Shows thermal throttling when pushed.

Battery

Battery limitations for power users: Day-to-day endurance is fine, but power users will wish for bigger capacity and efficiency.

Sluggish recharge times: Fast-charging speeds still feel stuck in the past.

Software

Incomplete AI features: Some splashy AI tools remain unfinished.

Storage

Entry-level 128GB storage: Still sticks to 128GB base, which is disappointing in 2025.

Connectivity

Wi-Fi 7 support dropped: Removal feels like an odd regression for a flagship.

Availability

Region-locked AI tools: Certain AI features are locked to US regions, leaving international buyers with a diluted experience.
