Yeah, I said it — and I’ll stand by it. I know the dust hasn’t even settled on the end of 2025, nor have we named our editor’s choice picks for phone of the year, but I already know what the best phone of next year will be. It’s going to be the Google Pixel 11, and I don’t think there’s much you can do to convince me otherwise.

On the one hand, I think it’s good news for Google. I really, truly believe that the Pixel is in its best position in several years, with a steadily improving chipset and cameras that continue to get smarter. The real reason I’m willing to make this declaration so early, though, is that I think everyone else is a mess. Here’s why I think Google can simply coast to greatness while everyone else spins their wheels.
