We will list some of its key features, there are many, so we will stick to the most prominent ones.

Since we are talking about flagships, this one is definitely the admiral ship for smartphones.

Here are some of the upgrades compared to its predecessor. It has a better battery, 4,000mAh instead of 3,300mAh. The Samsung Pen also supports Bluetooth, so you can pretty much control your phone with it, which is very handy.

It may be expected from Google to develop top-notch quality products, but this is truly a top of the line phone. Its selling point is its high-quality camera. Both the back and the front camera make you look like a professional photographer, which comes almost effortlessly.  The battery life is solid and more importantly, the OLED 6.3-inch panel gives you the leeway for great depth of field.

In addition, being a Google phone, all the services are integrated and manufactured in a way that you can use any of these features as smooth as possible. All these benefits just have to come at a hefty price, which is absolutely justified. If you have a big budget, and like photography, this should be your go-to.
