A price note
When we checked, the Google Store showed a lower "from" price than the launch $399. We could not confirm whether that is a permanent cut or a promotion, so treat the launch prices above as the reference and check the store.

How we researched this
This is a research-based review, not a hands-on test. We did not have these phones in hand. We compared the official specification pages from Apple, Google and Samsung with launch coverage and published reviews from established outlets, and we list every source below. Where sources disagree we say so. Battery and camera claims are the makers' own figures unless we name an independent reviewer. Prices are US launch prices from the official pages and can differ at carriers and retailers.
