Google has launched multiple generations of Pixel phones in the market. After which, it added the budget Pixel 3a and 4a to the lineup. These offered toned down hardware performance without major compromises with the imaging output. And now, following Apple’s suit, Google is adding Pixel SE to the mix. This is a mid-range 5G phone from the brand that faces heavy competition in this price bracket. The Pixel XE sports a 6-inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution of 1080x2340 pixels. This gives you pixel density of 430 PPI. The phone runs on Android 11 version out of box that gives you the latest software features available in the market. Pixel XE comes powered by octa-core Snapdragon 765G processor that gets paired with 6GB RAM. It features Adreno 620 GPU and you get 128GB onboard storage. Pixel XE gets a dual rear camera setup that includes 12MP sensor and 16MP ultra-wide sensor. While on the front, the phone has an 8MP selfie camera that also supports video calling. Google has packed the phone with a larger 4080mAh battery that supports 18W wired fast charging and wireless charging is there too. Like every other Pixel phone, this one also has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, while it lacks 3.5mm headphone jack. Other popular Google mobiles worth considering are the Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 3a XL and the Pixel 5.
