The fingerprint sensor is on the back, like it was on the Nexus devices last year.
You'll have the choice of two screen sizes: 5-inch and 5.5 inches. The new Pixels use sharp and vibrant AMOLED displays.
Google claims the Pixel's 12.3 megapixel camera is the best on any smartphone, achieving a score of 89 from photography site DXOmark. That's a better score than the iPhone 7 (86), but the scoring didn't include the Samsung Galaxy S7's camera, which is widely accepted as the best smartphones camera out there.
The video stabilization looks like it can smooth out some pretty substantial hand-shake.
And, as is becoming more and more standard in smartphones, the Pixels use USB-C for fast charging.
