Max camera resolution Megapixels 50MP. The Pro version of the Pixel 6 is cheaper than any other Android flagship in our list and offers the purest and most cutting edge Android experience, with no manufacturer-added bloatware. For its latest flagship, Google developed its own chip — just as Apple does with its Bionic chips.
Google is leaning heavily into AI and machine learning with the new chip. The Tensor also powers new camera technology that can unblur fuzzy shots and remove unwanted subjects from the background. The chip also enables greater personalisation and security. All in all, the Pixel 6 offers some of the latest tech at a very competitive price.
The front camera shoots selfies at 16MP. All lenses are Sony-made.

It also has a microscopic lens with its own ring-light to illuminate impossibly close-up photography, plus a 13MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom.
All of that gets displayed on a 6. But a feature that Oppo is making a big selling point of is its claim that the display can output 1 billion colours where other smartphones are limited to around 16 million — although that feature is something you have to manually turn on in its settings menu.
This is another Android phone that uses a modified version of the Google OS, which allows for greater customisation of things like colour schemes, typefaces, widgets and so on.

The display is arguably the most important aspect of any mobile device, since whatever it can do will be relayed to you via the screen. The higher each one is, the clearer and richer the image quality will be. The bigger and better the display, however, the more power it tends to consume, which means you need a decent-sized battery. Cameras are also a big deal for many mobile users.
These days, smartphone cameras are at the point where they can even replace a basic DSLR camera in terms of lens quality, resolution and the control you have over parameters like white balance, focus, ISO and so forth. But remember, hardware only gets you so far.
