Disclaimers
- ¹ Compared to earlier Pixel phones.
- ² Gemini mobile app available on select devices, languages, and countries. Internet connection required. Check responses for accuracy.
- ³ Screen has rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, screen is 6.3 inches. Actual viewable area is less. Dimension may vary by configuration and manufacturing process.
- ⁴ Not available for all apps or content.
- ⁵ For “over 24 hours”: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. For “Up to 100 hours”: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity).
- ⁵ For both claims: Battery testing conducted on a major US carrier network in California in early 2024 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the “up to 100 hours” claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Tests began with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.
- ⁶ Charging speed based upon testing with device batteries drained to 1% and charged with Google 45W USB-C® Charger. Charging testing conducted by Google in early 2024 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings with the device powered on. Charging speed depends upon many factors including usage during charging, battery age, and ambient temperature. Actual charging speed may be slower.
- ⁷ Results may vary. Not available for all cameras, apps or modes.
- ⁸ Designed to comply with dust and water protection rating IP68 under IEC standard 60529 when each device leaves the factory but the device is not water or dust proof.

Water resistance and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and will diminish or be lost over time due to normal wear and tear, device repair, disassembly or damage.
- ⁸ Phone is not drop/tumble proof and dropping your device may result in loss of water/dust resistance. Damage from drops, tumbles, and other external forces are not covered under warranty. Liquid damage voids the warranty. See g.co/pixel/water for details.
- ⁹ May not work on all audio elements.
- ⁰ Personal Safety app features are dependent upon network connectivity and other factors and may not be reliable for emergency communications or available in all areas. For more information, see g.co/pixel/personalsafety.
