Google - Pixel 10 256B (Unlocked) - Lemongrass

The product is working great, and I was able to work with my carrier's rep right in the store.

Hard to navigate and hard to upload apps with ads Never will get another Google phone. Does take nice photos

Prior I had a Google Pixel 7 Pro XL. I was concerned about going with a smaller size but thought I would try it. I love it! I love the more compact nature and that it is not as heavy. It's actually not that much smaller than what I had prior. The typing when texting is extremely accurate and has hepatic touch as well. I find the Google Pixel very easy to navigate and it takes seriously amazing photos. We bought it on sale for $699 thru Best Buy. I bought the Frost color, and my son bought the Indigo color. He's crazy about his color and loves it. I have to say it's a beautiful color. I love mine, too. Frost has a bit of a lavender tint to it. I never had an issue with my Google Pixel Pro 7 Pro XL but felt I wanted to upgrade while the Google Pixel 10 was on sale. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Outstanding device for the money. The Pixel 10, in my opinion, is the best value of the Pixel series this year. Even though the Pixel 10 cuts a few corner compared to the Pixel 10 Pro it is great for the everyday user. You get the same Tensor G5 processor. Up to 256gb of storage and plenty of RAM, 12gb, not the 16gb of the Pro The screen is very good and bright and only slightly downgraded in specifications from the 10 Pro. I doubt many people would even notice the differences. The cameras provide excellent pictures, even if the specifications are not as good as the 10 Pro system. In short, you will get an outstanding device at a substantially reduced price compare to the 10 Pro.

TLDR: better than moto, Samsung and OP are just kind of better... So to be honest it's just average. I enjoy my device and didn't return it however the pixel really hasn't entered the territory I feel it's advocates feel it has. I'm a big android fan so naturally felt swayed toward trying a promo for the pixel. Compared to OneUI8 and current Oxygen OS. it's ok: clean android is a bit overrated- I actually realized how much of Samsung design language I preferred. I feel very limited in the customization process and day to day operation compared to competing brands in this price point. The camera is okay but even in online blind camera tests I feel like the s25 edge (similar promo at the time of purchase) and OP13R had above average performance competing with the base model. The tensor chip hasn't over heated on me but like a lot of people finding out the GPU needs updates to work with apps is frustrating. AI features are nice- but pixel has stock android ai optimization that these other listed brands have too. Journal is an awesome first party app however then you remember Samsung notes is the standard for mobile phone word processors (at least on Android). I do see why so many iPhone users like- the phone itself is very nice looking. However it's so heavy- I purposely got the smallest one and feel like I now get why phones like the s25 edge and iPhone air are a thing. Battery life is decent, however it's year one. Pixel drops bring bugs along with features, and I'm a little nervous for my usual 3-5 year upgrade cycle. Happy I didn't get a Motorola, a few reps recommended their edge since I was hesitant about financing but I do think pixel is the better take on that software. Probably going to get an edge if it has a magnet inside of it or OnePlus next time. Who knows maybe Nothing is coming to the US for Verizon unlocked! Definitely get it if you know you want it- maybe you're the super fan this is designed for.
