Pixel's computational RAW is amazing

Had a chance to play a bit with a Pixel (currently using an iPhone) and the fact that the Pixel camera team brings computational photography to RAW is amazing.

With my iPhone shooting in RAW means giving up significant detail and dynamic range, since it doesn't benefit from the merging of multiple frames. On the Pixel, however, RAW actually does look a bit better than the jpeg output, since I am personally not the greatest fan of noise reduction (even if Google does it pretty tastefully). And of course there is more editing latitude.

For people interested in "more serious" phone photography I think this is a great advantage Pixel phones have. Do other Android phones have this as well?
