Last year’s Pixel came and went with only one screen size available, and for this year’s flagship Google’s giving you two options again. But instead of dubbing it the “XL” the bigger phone now carries the “Pro” moniker. The company says it’s because it offers more professional features like a telephoto lens, but it also means it’s named similarly to rival handsets from Apple and OnePlus. Check out the specs of some of the competition in the table below, and be sure to check out our hands-on with this fancy new phone while you wait for the full review later this month.
