Google Pixel
📖 Overview
The original 2016 Google Pixel introduced the photography pedigree the line is now known for, pairing a 12.3MP f/2.0 1/2.3" sensor with large 1.55µm pixels and Google's HDR+ computational pipeline that earned it a then-record DxOMark score. It relies on electronic stabilization rather than OIS and has no secondary lenses, but supports DNG RAW capture and 4K30 video. A fixed 5.0" 1080p screen and Snapdragon 821 round out a camera-first single-lens flagship.
