    Google Pixel XL has the best camera ever fitted to a phone. The 12.3-megapixel camera takes some of the most detailed shots, and did so in natural light and low light. The front-facing camera is great for selfies too!

    The Google Pixel XL phone cameras don't have optical image stabilization (OIS), which helps improve video stabilization. OIS reduces blurring in photos and smooths out your videos.
