There are a ton of Android phones on the market, but if you want the purest expression of Google’s world-beating OS, you want the Google Pixel. The first direct-from-Google phone without Nexus branding, the Pixel is built by HTC but designed exclusively in Mountain View. It has either a 5-inch 1080p or 5.5-inch Quad HD AMOLED display and a 12.3 megapixel camera that got the highest score of any phone on DxOMark, as well as unlimited cloud storage for photos and 4K videos. The specialized version of Android it runs supports the company’s new Daydream VR headset, and unlike most ‘droids, it will actually get future software updates on time. Available in silver, black, or blue.
