The Google Pixel has been famous for its camera performance since its earlier models. And the Pixel 10 Pro XL lives up to that reputation.

Its triple rear camera system delivers impressive results across a range of conditions: In bright daylight, it captures clean exposures and accurate colors that hold up well even under harsh sunlight. Portrait mode produces natural bokeh and realistic skin tones that rival dedicated cameras. The zoom system is equally interesting as well: even at 100x, images are surprisingly sharp.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL comes with a bright and vibrant 6.8-inch Super Actua display which makes reviewing and editing shots easy. Add in strong battery life, a suite of helpful AI tools, and Google’s latest Tensor G5 processor, and it’s a phone built to handle both creativity and everyday life.

Who Is This Deal For and Is It a Good Time to Buy?

The Pixel 10 Pro XL is built for serious photographers, content creators, and anyone who wants the flexibility of a high-end camera always in their pocket.

According to CamelCamelCamel, this is the lowest price yet for the Pixel 10 Pro XL on Amazon. With Black Friday right around the corner, it’s unlikely we’ll see it go much lower — especially for the 256GB unlocked model. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade to a true AI-powered camera phone, this is the time to grab it.

Sony has taken the wraps off its newest smartphone image sensor. The new sensor is the industry’s first three-layer stacked CMOS image sensor with DRAM for smartphones and it offers high-speed data readout with reduced distortion when shooting stills. Perhaps what is most impressive about the new sensor is what it can do when recording video. The new CMOS sensor can record full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) video at up to 1,000 frames per second.

This unprecedented speed is due to the third layer, which is a DRAM layer. Typically, Sony’s smartphone image sensors have employed a two-layer design. The high-capacity DRAM layer can read a still image of 19.3 million pixels in a mere 1/120 second, which Sony states is approximately four times faster than a conventional product. This results in less focal plane distortion when shooting fast-moving subjects, otherwise known as rolling shutter.

Reduced rolling shutter and super slow motion is nice, but what about the sensor’s other specifications? The 21.2-megapixel sensor is capable of recording 19.3-megapixel still images at up to 30 frames per second and can record 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) video at up to 60 frames per second. For more details on the new sensor, see here.

As The Verge points out, both Apple and Google use Sony sensors in their iPhone 7 and Pixel phones, respectively, so we can reasonably expect Sony’s latest sensor to be utilized in new models of many popular phones in the future.

Google’s Fall 2016 hardware event is finished and it saw the tech giant unveil its new Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones. DxO Labs’ DxOMark site claims the Pixel to feature the “best smartphone camera ever.” This is certainly big news if true; let’s take a look at the specifics.

The Pixel’s 12.3-megapixel camera has a 1.55-micron pixel size, which is quite large for a smartphone camera, and it scored an 89 from DxOMark. DxO Labs says the Pixel’s image quality is “impressive across the board”, and that it captures images with “relatively low levels of noise for every tested lighting condition.” Unlike the iPhone 7 or Samsung’s Galaxy S7, the Pixel comes equipped with an f/2.0 lens rather than the f/1.8 and f/1.7 lenses found in Apple and Samsung’s offerings, respectively. Nonetheless, DxO Mark found it to be a very capable low light camera. It’s worth noting that Apple’s latest iPhone 7 scored an 86 from DxOMark, while the iPhone 7 Plus is still being reviewed currently.

There are new camera features which should please more than just the pixel peepers, too. According to Engadget, the Pixel has the shortest shutter lag of any cameraphone ever tested by Google. That short capture time has allowed Google to keep the Pixel’s high dynamic range (HDR) shooting mode enabled at all times. While Google’s HDR+ was in last year’s Nexus 6P phone among others, the Pixel is able to combine multiple RAW images in near-real time. DxOMark states that while Google isn’t the first to include HDR functionality in a smartphone camera, it has managed to do it the best so far in terms of both quality and speed. To power all of this photo processing, the phone comes with 4 gigabytes of RAM and has a Snapdragon 821 CPU.

While not extensively discussed during today’s event, Google has a handy way for you to store all of your excellent smartphone photos captured with the Pixel. Provided that you have a Google account, you’ll have unlimited storage for backing up all of your photos and videos. Speaking of video, DxOMark found the Pixel to be excellent at that too. It can record 4K video at up to 30 frames per second and 1080p video at up to 120fps.

You aren’t likely going to buy a smartphone just for its camera, so what else do the Pixel and Pixel XL offer? The former has a 5-inch AMOLED display with 1920 x 1080 resolution whereas the latter has a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with 2560 x 1440 resolution. Both Pixel phones come with Google Assistant, making them the first phones to hit the market equipped with Google’s updated artificial intelligence companion. (Think Google Now, Siri or Cortana.).

Also, in a move sure to leave iPhone fans even more ticked off at the Cupertino company, Google’s new handsets include headphone jacks. Of course, Apple would doubtless note that its phones are water resistant, a feature both of Google’s Pixel phones lack. (But then, we’ve seen plenty of water-resistant or even waterproof phones with uncapped 3.5mm jacks before now.)

And for those looking to hop on board the virtual reality train, the Pixel can power Google’s new Daydream View VR headset, which you can learn more about here.

These new phones are available for preorder now. The Pixel starts at around $650 and the XL adds an additional $120 to the cost. The phones come in silver, black and blue color options and the base model includes 32 GB of storage (for an additional $100, you can bump up the space to 128 GB). Verizon will be the exclusive carrier partner for the pair of Pixel phones in the United States, at least for the time being, although you can purchase it unlocked directly from Google for use on other carriers.
