As expected, the Nexus name is gone for Google’s phones, replaced by “Pixel,” which comes in 5” and 5.5” sizes and have identical specs other than the battery (2770 mAh and 3450 mAh, respectively). Unlike most of the Nexus phones, it’s not mid-priced, instead starting at $649 in the United States.
There’s no camera bump, and it’s made for virtual reality (more on that shortly). DXOMark, which rates digital cameras, gave the Pixel’s camera an 89 rating, its highest ever for a smartphone.
