Buy Google’s Pixel phone for the best Android experience

I can only imagine the work Android developers go through when testing for multiple devices and multiple versions of Android. That could be why some apps launch exclusively on iOS—or at least on Apple’s platform first.

It must be frustrating for users, too, who pay close attention to Google’s annual I/O conference. The search giant typically uses that event to talk about the latest features coming to Android, hyping the software up so the public has something to look forward to. But often users are forced to wait months and months before their devices gets updated (if at all).

Google’s Pixel lineup doesn’t just provide the latest Android experience, but the cleanest and easiest to understand, which is great for users unfamiliar with the platform. Android isn’t quite the complex monster it used to be, but the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are among the simplest Android devices to pick up and use. The Note 8 is a much more complicated beast because of its Edge features, S Pen, and Bixby.

Google is making strides toward addressing Android’s fragmentation with initiatives like Project Treble, but there won’t be a significant change for several years. Which is why the next time you consider picking up a new phone, take a hard look at Google’s Pixel lineup, because you’re guaranteed to get the latest version of Android over the next few years.
