It's time for the fall phone launch season to begin and, unlike previous years, the first flagship out of the gate is the Pixel 5. At $599, it certainly undercuts its major competition on price.

Check out how the new Pixel compares to this year's Galaxy S20 and the current iPhone 11 Pro — we'll have to wait to see how Google's new handset compares to this year's Apple flagship when it's actually announced.
