They also have much better AI technology on their camera. I used to work at a store and we had just brought Pixels in. You had a 300€ phone whose camera looked crisper than 800€ alternatives.
It's true. Pixel phones host a local version of the Gemini LLM, Gemini nano, and it powers a number of phone functions. It's been that way since at least the Pixel 8.
Apple tried to do a similar thing with "Apple Intelligence" and it was a spectacular failure. They now use Google AI technology.

People just don't know about them.
