    I got this for my mom and she absolutely LOVES it. The phone is beautiful, fast, responsive, and the built-in AI tooling is a huge plus. She spends a lot of time editing photos and using all the edit tools. The screen is bright, clear, crisp. The battery last 2 solid days with moderate-high use and also charges pretty fast. I can't recommend this phone enough. I wish, however, google made this in a flip design (yeah, I know they have the fold version) to make it easier to carry. Hopefully this will be coming soon.

    Fantastic and Affordable Flagship Phone

    Google makes a great case with this phone. It nails most of what you want from a phone at this ‘entry-level flagship’ price point. Our household has a mix of Android and iOS devices across tablets and phones, and the experience of using either camp has really started to converge in last few years. In the Pixel 10, Google proves that they can deliver both great hardware and thoughtful software, and round it out with a commitment to 7 years of software updates. In the past I would have sworn by iPhone, but my time with this Pixel has been a real joy so far. __ Flagship Hardware __ 9/10 While not very different in design from the Pixel 9, that vastly improved design continues to this model, with some subtle and appreciated tweaks and additions. The two primary additions are Qi 2 support with magnets and the inclusion of a zoom lens to the camera array. These may look like small inclusions but they make daily use notably more well-rounded. How important are magnets? - Well, ask any iPhone user and you’ll find that they’ve enjoyed how helpful it is for aligning to charging stands and pucks, for use in horizontal docking layouts, stands, pop-socket-like holding aids, and car mounts. Misalignments with wireless charging of the past are just not an issue thanks to them. MagSafe accessories work with Qi 2’s implementation, as well, so a whole world of compatible accessories are already out there. For the first time, the base Pixel also gains the full gamut of cameras you might want. Optical zooms are just better than digital, when available, and the 5x telephoto paired with a 20x Super Res Zoom (AI enhanced digital zoom) help you capture shots you previously couldn’t at this price point. The rest of the design is pro-level with beautiful glass front and rear panels and metal sides, perfectly crafted together. The rear camera bump looks great in its minimal pill shape. The edges on this assembly are a bit sharp, so it’s likely the most vulnerable to small nicks - so consider a case if that would concern you. The Indigo blue on this model is nice, but not really the bright Cyan as shown in most marketing materials and review shots. As I found for my review, digital cameras seem to alter this appearance. The real color is much closer to a ‘blueberry’ or a grey-blue with periwinkle/purple undertones - it’s less bright. It still looks nice, but I was a bit let down in my hopes for that really fun, punchy blue color. I’ve adjusted my photos to try to capture its true color under different lighting. You’ll hopefully see what I mean. Other great hardware features are face-unlocking + ultrasonic fingerprint sensing (hidden under the screen). I’ve throughly appreciated the ability to unlock in either manner, depending on my needs in the moment. Sometimes your face just isn’t aligned with the phone - like when the phone's placed on a desk, or on a night stand/charger. This is where the fingerprint sensor saves the day, with easy unlocking without picking up the phone. Love it. 
__ Cameras __ 7/10 While the inclusion of the telephoto camera is great, the main 48MP camera is the one you’ll use the most for portraits and closer shots. It’s quite good, but not to be confused with the 50MP of the Pro. Despite their similarity in megapixels, the Pro has a much larger physical sensor, meaning it’s capable of capturing more light than the one on the base Pixel 10. I noticed this in my sample shots, they are nice, but with more noise in the details than our other pro-level phones. These cameras are respectable, but aren’t at the same level. If you’ve never had a top-tier phone or having the best cameras isn’t your thing, you’ll likely enjoy the quality of shots they take. At this price point, they’re respectable, just not the best of the best. But it’s not all in hardware, Google introduced a number of helpful new features that the average person will appreciate. One being the 20x Super Res Zoom feature that uses AI when using higher digital zoom levels to sharpen up the image. 'Auto Best Take' lets the phone take several shots of people and automatically select the best one for you. 'Ask Photos' lets you edit photos just by typing the desired outcome in plain English. - Wish to remove a person or object? Just ask and it’ll do its best job to make the change for you and fill in the background. 'Add Me' lets you take a photo of one person, then swap places with another person, then merge the two seamlessly as if you were both in the original shop. It supports larger groups and pets too. These features are interesting. On one hand they create altered photos that removes some of the authenticity of a shot, but on the other hand, they can do a lot of the heavy lifting of editing you may have needed to ask someone’s help for. They may be the best examples of useful AI camera tools to date. The camera app is simple and I appreciate subtle helpers like the horizontal line indicator that can guide you to a level shot. Unlike iPhone, it also doesn’t auto-switch between cameras in a jarring way by default - perfect! __ Material 3 Expressive & OS Experience __ 9/10 With this phone I hoped to enjoy a new level of minimal feel thanks to the nice updates Google has made to Android. The ability to tint most icons to help them fall away a bit more is great for someone like me. I also intentionally increased the size of every icon in order to reduce how much I had on screen at any time… and make my smart phone a little less overwhelming and in my face with a grid of apps. I love what I achieved. Every app placement feels more intentional and the flat style of some of primary google apps especially, makes them feel more refined and professional (by not having to see those primary colors on every icon). I can’t currently get this kind of feeling on iOS - it’s much more all or nothing when it comes to most of the home screen customizations, and the upcoming changes coming to that OS are less appealing to me. This is much more what I was looking for in my phone’s look and feel, and Google is nailing it! Built into the OS is another nice, new feature - Magic Cue. With permission, your Pixel can proactively show useful information or actions based on the context of chats, calls and system level information. Much of its current usefulness seems to be tied to surfacing links to making new calendar appointments or reminders, or surfacing existing ones. Its goal is to aid in context, or not show anything at all. In most cases, the actions it suggests are things you’d likely be looking to do as part of the task at hand anyway, in in that way, it’s helpful and can save time. __ Summary __ Overall, Google has a great phone in the Pixel 10. Qi 2 with magnets is great and exactly what was needed from this generation and the inclusion of a proper telephoto camera is nice. Material 3 Expressive brings the phone into a new level of minimal design refinement and polish that let me customize my phone in ways I couldn’t in the past. The slew of AI features (that actually feel useful) also add something here. With the Pixel 10, it finally feels like Google found the right balance of features and tech at the right price. I would have appreciated better cameras, but not everyone will be as picky, especially if you’re more enticed by the $799 price point, or can’t fathom spending more. At this price, you’ll get a respectable entry level flag-ship phone that’s well put-together from hardware, through software and support. That's why I'll still give this 5 stars. In a phone form factor, Android just feels right now - the home screen is customizable in a way that I’ve not gotten on iOS... and won’t in the foreseeable future. Good job, Google, I’m truly I’m impressed.

    My son purchased this phone and raves about how great it is every day. It's the perfect size. It takes seriously great photos. The indigo color is awesome. He had a Google Pixel 8 before, so he's used to the Google phones but either way - they are easy to navigate. He's had no issues with it whatsoever. You can learn more about the phone thru various online video reviews like we did - but we'd definitely recommend it. Texting is very accurate and easy with the haptic typing - love that feature! Battery life is great. Honestly, it's a great all around phone.

    Impressed and Barely Tried New Features

    I’ve been using and enjoying a Pixel Tablet for a couple years now, but haven’t had a Pixel phone since the Pixel 3. I loved that phone. The photos from that phone that pop up in the slideshow rotation on the table STILL look outstanding. They had some sort of magic in computational photography on that one. Unfortunately, the USB-C port up and died and that made me a little hesitant to dip back into the waters of Pixel phones for a few years. The 10 proved to be tempting because of two main things: the design and Gemini. I think the design of this phone is superb and the blue (indigo) finish is a chef’s kiss. I love it. Looks a little futuristic with the camera bar and yet distinctly a Pixel at this point in time. Kudos to Google for finally finding a design that stands out in the market of phones that, more or less, all look the same. The weight is great, screen size feels just right, and it’s just a pleasure to hold and look at. The back glass has some nice tacky-ness to the coating that makes it less slippery than others I’ve used. Sure, you might want a case… but it’s tempting to try going without given the looks and comfort in the hand. I’m hopeful they’ve improved things on the reliability front by now, but time will tell. Fortunately, wireless charging has also improved since then and become my go to for charging. Happy to report that I had no issues using a MagSafe charger whatsoever. I know the Pro’s get the improved speed, but as someone who charges overnight anyway that’s not a huge compromise, in my opinion. Gemini is intriguing. Maybe not so much for what it can do right now, but because of how evident it is that Google is committed to trying just about anything and everything they can do with it and putting it through the OS of these Pixel phones. What I have found immediately impressive is the camera coach and “add me” feature in the camera app. These aren’t necessarily Gemini specific, but they’re certainly using some AI to achieve these features. Camera coach is a great tool for aspiring photographers who might need/want a little help with composition. I wish it were slightly quicker in getting you to the next tip, but again I’m looking at all of this as still just the start of where Google is going with this stuff. Add Me is the type of thing that I honestly can’t believe hasn’t existed before now. Maybe it did with less than great results, but now the results are pretty seamless. Example: I took a picture of my daughter sitting on a chair on our deck. I then handed her the phone, sat in a different chair, and pretended to scowl at where she was sitting while she took the solo photo of me. Five seconds later we have a combined photo of the two of us that has no visible artifacts (at least that I can see) that clues you into the fact that this wasn’t an original pic. It’s simple to operate, the instructions are clear, and it’s genuinely useful! That’s the type of AI-assisted feature a lot of us have been waiting for. Of course, there are many, many other bells and whistles present on the Pixel 10, so much so I haven’t even tried some of them like Magic Cue. I’m really interested in the editing feature where you can use natural language in a chat box in the photo editor and just tell Gemini what you want the photo to look like and it’ll do it. Unfortunately, I haven’t quite figured out how to access it yet. The photos I tried did not have a chat box when I went into the editor. Perhaps it’s a feature limited to the Pros? Even if it is, my guess is it will make it to the Pixel 10 in a future software update. Again, this type of AI that’s much more about helping me with my own data and photos appeals to me more than generating images out of thin air. (Which, of course, you can do in the Gemini app.) Other than that, I’m happy to be using this phone and excited to keep trying out stuff. Photos so far are impressive, though maybe lack that rich contrast that was a hallmark of the Pixel 3. I imagine I can still get that look with some tweaks to the settings. Set up with eSim was pretty easy; we’re on Mint and I ran into a little snag with their app getting hung up during installation. But I was able to chat with them online, they sent a QR code, and asked for the IME number in the phone’s settings, and then I was immediately connected via cellular and have had no issues since. And, frankly, I’ll take that any day over having a phone that’s locked to one carrier and having to use physical SIM cards. No thank you! Gripes? Nothing really specific to the phone. I like the look of Android these days and how well it uses color throughout. But I do wish they could somehow force 3rd party app icons to go with the system theming even if they themselves have not updated the app to be able to do so. And the settings app can be a bit chaotic trying to find certain things, even when using search. On the whole though, it’s a clean and modern interface and I find it very pleasing to use.

    Worthy Successor

    I've lost count of the number of phones I've had at this point, but it's been a while since we've seen the level of advancements we have in recent memory. To start: Packaging is much as you would expect, fairly minimal with just a charging cord and the phone, no power brick as has become the norm. Getting into the box is easy as it just has a couple of cardboard pulltabs that release the sleave around the box rather than tape or shrinkwrap Setup: It's a Google Pixel so it has the vanilla Android experience and that's actually a great thing. Less overhead, fewer overlays, and true support for the OS that the company created. Set up is easy and straightforward, just login and transfer as expected, no need to jump through hoops or install separate apps unless you're coming from a non-android based phone Use: The phone is fast. It's been a few years since I had a new phone but there's a clear performance boost over my previous phone. The UI is snappy, the addition of functionality behind AI responses is clear and while my previous phone has gained these capabilities in recent time, there's an obvious increase in responsiveness from AI type answers from 'Ok Google' and Gemini. The screen itself is gorgeous, colors are vibrant, high resolution, clean. In hand the phone feels solid even though it is light. I dont love the camera bump but most phones have one these days and it's easily balanced with a decent case. In terms of size, for not being a 'Pro' or 'XL' variant, it's still a good size and will not feel small in your hand, nor oversized, with a screen size of 6.3" Speaking of the camera, while this is not the Pro version, you're still talking about a Pixel which is well known to have the best cameras on the market compared to all other vendors, including any AI enhancements that is applied to pictures after they are taken. The Pixel 10 is a clear winner here, images are beautiful and clean, no snow even in low light, the attached image to this review does not do it justice as compression has taken effect from the attachment, but you can clearly see that even in low light there's no issues with the image. Benchmarks show this phone having superb scores with Antutu Bench showing a score of 1414967 (Latest build, Antutu v10 updated). This places it right in the range of the current offerings from all of the major phone vendors. Overall: If you want a vanilla Android experience with all the bells and whistles of the major phone manufacturers and admittedly the best camera on the market, this is definitely the go-to phone. It may not be the top end one but it's going to be more than enough for most users and surpassing even the best offerings of almost all previous generation phones. 7 years of updates on it also buys it a level of longevity that most phones do not have which is huge in this day and worth considering.

    Best Pixel Yet! The Camera is Incredible!

    I have had my share of Pixels in the past but I have jumped around to different Android devices over the years. I usually go with whichever device has the best features to support my productivity goals. I was in the market for my next phone when the Pixel 10 launched and the improvements Google made in this generation were exactly what I was looking for. The camera and AI features on the Pixel 10 are a complete game changer. Camera and Camera App I have to start with one of the absolute best features of this phone: the camera and camera app are nothing short of incredible. Everything from the Camera Coach feature to photo editing and Best Take is enriched with AI and works flawlessly. Having a reliable camera is critical for me because I have young children and my phone is how I capture all of our memories. The Pixel 10 is equipped with a triple rear camera system that includes a 48 MP wide camera with macro capability, a 13 MP ultra wide, and a 10.8 MP telephoto. Wireless Charging The Pixel 10 introduces Pixelsnap, a magnet array on the back that allows you to mount the phone to compatible Qi2 chargers and accessories. I have wanted this feature for a long time and you do not realize how useful it can be until you try it. It unlocks a whole new world of accessory and charger options and I absolutely love it. Build Quality and Display The Pixel 10 feels and looks premium. It has an aluminum chassis with a glass back for wireless charging and has a nice weight without feeling too heavy. Personally, I do wish the screen was a little larger. The variable refresh rate OLED display looks stunning with HDR support and a 1080 x 2424 resolution, but the 6.3 inch size feels a bit small by today’s standards. It will take some getting used to, but I think a 6.5 or 6.6 inch display would be the perfect balance. Final Thoughts I absolutely love this phone. Everything from the build quality to Google’s AI suite makes the Pixel 10 an exceptional experience. There is a slight learning curve because there are so many features to explore, but that is part of what makes it exciting. Every day I discover something new and I can tell that even two years from now the Pixel 10 will still feel current thanks to ongoing software updates. With my only real complaint being the screen size, I am confident I will upgrade to the XL version next time.

    Excellent budget device that I got on sale. The cameras are excellent and I love the blue color it came in! The battery life is good for the day and charges fast enough for my needs. This phone has lots of smarts built in that I can't do without on other phones like the Now Playing feature and the quickest updates in the android space.

    Great Phone, should have gone Pro

    Google has released a really great phone with the Pixel 10. I like how they have incorporated the AI pieces into the phone. It is not overwhelming and generally quite useful. The one downside I have, I really wish I had got the Pro version. The most useful aspects I have found and used the most are all around the camera. There are some really neat Ai tricks that can be done. Here is a quick list of what I have used and enjoyed: - The Add Me feature will allow you to take a photo of some of your friends or family, then you can jump into the picture after the initial shot. You need to use a tripod and basically take multiple pictures that are spliced together. The AI will add you in almost seamlessly. It works quite well. - Ask Photos feature allows you to speak to the photo editor for what you want done. Some examples I have used are taking a picture of a room and asking photos to change the wall color, handy for redecoration. Another I have used is fix the lighting, clean up the photo and zoom in on something in the photo. It is scary how well it works. - Auto Best Take feature allows AI take the images it is seeing and create a photo where everyone is looking at the camera with the best look on their faces. No blinking eyes, sister-in-law looking at the ceiling, kids slapping at each other, dogs licking themselves, etc. - Some AI edits I have been impressed with is removing lens flare, fixing lighting, and stuff I usually have to dig through options to find. - Also with the camera there is a 20x digital AI enhanced zoom that is very impressive. With the pro version it goes to 50x. On it's own the camera is great, with the AI add ins, it is a fun toy and tool. A few other interesting things they have is Live Wallpaper where you can have various different effects that can be added to the wallpaper like weather, cinematic effects, etc. There is also a voice translate for while in a call. The basic premise is the call you speak in your native tongue and AI translates to who you are speaking to in your own voice. It works in both directions. The reasons why I wish i went pro is the upgraded camera and you also get a year subscription to Gemini Pro. Just a couple things to think about. What Google has done with AI in this phone is the way AI should be done. While I don't think the current presentations of AI will get it intertwined in daily life, I can't see normal everyday types spending money to have a Pro AI. The way it is presented in this phone is actually useful. I feel AI should be presented as a benefit not an added expense. I am adding a shot of a lizard that was on the porch and what it looked like after asking photos to fix lighting, clean up the picture and zoom in on lizard.

    A great phone with a few small issues

    From my first smartphone back in 2011 through to my switch to iOS in 2022, I'd been a devout user of Android. Nearly my entire digital footprint existed within Google's ecosystem, for better or for worse, and I'd never really considered switching to iPhone until then. At one point, I used the original Google Pixel - a lovely phone for the time whose design still holds up today, in my opinion. I had the Pixel 4A as well. In fact, that was the most recent Android phone I had before switching to Apple in 2022. I kept my iPhone 13 for 3 years, and wasn't sure if I was going to switch back to Android for a while, but I decided to check out what's changed since I've been gone, with the Pixel 10. With that being said, my feelings on Android's transformation over the years are mixed, and that culminates in me having pretty mixed feelings about the phone, as a result. But I'll get to that. Hardware: As far as the hardware itself goes, it's about as good as you'd expect for the price. Gorgeous OLED screen, vibrant and colorful back glass panel (in my case, as I got the Indigo color), aluminum sides. Loud and clear speakers, both for music and for phone calls, which is nice. No headphone jack, though. I'm certain there's room in the shell and on the motherboard for one, but most manufacturers these days are simply refusing to add it now for whatever reason - probably as incentive to purchase their wireless headphones they're peddling. I digress. The speed and responsiveness of the phone, when interacting with it, is as you'd expect for a new phone. It's fast, it's smooth, it's pretty looking. Nothing of particular noteworthiness, here. The in-screen fingerprint sensor is excellent, and works without issue. The facial recognition is also great. I like having the option for both. As a phone, and a device, it is lovely. Camera: I must confess that I didn't use the camera very much at all. Generally, I'm not much of a photographer. I don't take many pictures, and I'm not super worried about the quality as long as the end result is recognizable and there's not any weird, annoying blurriness going on. On that front, this camera is good. The few pictures I did take were excellent - a very high level of detail is noticeable on the resulting photos. While I'm talking about the camera, I'd like to talk about some of the software related to the camera, and the issues I had. Whether the picture was a test of an item, or a screenshot, editing the picture would cause it not to be shareable. For example, if I took a picture, but it ended up rotated the wrong way, I could orient it correctly, only to find that the adjusted version isn't available to post or send anywhere. It would show up on the Photos app, but would throw an error message about it being unavailable when I tried to post it anywhere or send it to someone. I don't know why this happened, and I'm sure it's something that will be fixed in the future, but as of writing this, it's a pretty frustrating issue. That aside, the camera is lovely, even if the bump is absurd. General Software: Android has come a long way from the days of Gingerbread and KitKat. A common argument against using it instead of iOS was, for a long time, that it was unpolished, unoptimized, unrefined, but that argument hasn't been true for some time... mostly. Most things just kind of work. It's great. I don't notice any performance difference between the same apps on the differing platforms. With RCS messaging, things like read receipts and text effects are now possible, too, even when two people messaging aren't on the same platform. The UI is sleek and intuitive, the gestures mostly make sense, even after 3 years on a different OS. The issues are small, but they are present, and quite frustrating sometimes. Not all of it is the fault of the OS, but a lot of it is. Frankly, my main gripe is with swiping gestures. If I'm on a poorly optimized webpage and have to scroll left or right, it's too easy for the phone to recognize it as a back swipe and act like a back button, rather than letting me scroll where I want to. If I need to copy some text, and it starts on the edge of the screen, I will accidentally go back a page instead of selecting the text - I have to select text in the middle of the screen and adjust what's highlighted from there, rather than selecting what I want directly. If I'm on Reddit and am scrolling through pictures on a post, about 20% of the time, I accidentally go back, rather than going through the photos. Another 30% of the time, it swipes me to the next post, rather than the next picture on the current one. It is so difficult to find that sweet spot of where to swipe, and while it's something I may simply need to get used to, this wasn't an issue on my last Android, and it wasn't an issue on my previous iPhone, either. It could be on Reddit, rather than Android, but the swiping issues are persistent everywhere on the phone. The opposite direction swipe doesn't bring you forward, either. It's a back button in the opposite direction. My reliance on that may be a carryover from iOS, so that's probably on me, but it's still something I found noteworthy. Permissions, Surveillance, Personal Data: As a subcategory of the software, I need to talk about this. While Google will ask you for permissions for certain features, it's pretty creepy how much is necessary. Location, microphone, camera, your browsing history, always tracked all the time by one app or another. Of course, this is the case for most smart devices these days, and while there's little escape from the constant surveillance and data collection by giga corporations who know more about me than I do, I have a limit to what I'm happy with. For instance: On iPhones, you can use Shazam to figure out what song is playing. You have to go out of your way to use it though, and it only listens for as long as the app needs. A little indicator appears on the notification bar, to let you know the mic is listening. While setting this phone up, it gave me the option to use a similar feature - to be able to detect what song is playing by having the phone listen. When I got through with setup, I couldn't figure out how to activate it, so I didn't worry about it until today. I was at the post office, waiting in line, and I pulled out my phone to check an email. I pulled down the notification bar to find the name of the song that was playing on the radio, despite never having done anything to activate that. Indeed, it was simply listening constantly - it even changed when the song changed. There was no indication that this was happening, and now I feel very uncomfortable knowing it's been listening to my every conversation and interaction for the past few days. It's intrusive, and I'm a little nervous that I'm always being watched and listened to. While I know that's ridiculous, given that my iPhone probably did the same thing to an extent, it at least felt like I had more control. I don't feel like I have control over this phone, and that makes me uncomfortable. AI Features: Let it be known that I utterly despise AI, and am always going to advocate against its use until it is more thoroughly regulated, and even then, I will advocate against its use. There's plenty of research and studies to show its effect on our attention spans, our literacy, our critical thinking skills. It's the new frontier in systematically melting our minds, and I implore you to consider avoiding it at all costs. I haven't even mentioned the blatant, massive scale of plagiarism used to power it in the first place, but this isn't the place for a discussion on my vehement passion against AI. I have absolutely avoided using the AI features. All I can comment on is their pervasiveness in the software. It's absurd. Every single thing is riddled with prompts for trying AI features. Writing a text? Use AI! Taking a picture? Enhance it with AI! Need to do literally anything on your phone? Ask the built in AI to do it! Make AI music, have AI boil down a two sentence text for you, have it write an AI response. You can opt out, thankfully, but it's still frustrating to have it shoved down my throat when I have no desire to use it, and never, ever will. Summary: This is a good phone with nice features that most people will like and make good use out of. As of writing, there's 7 years of guaranteed software support, some of the best cameras and camera software on the phone market, and the kind of polish you'd expect from modern Google. I have a few qualms with the gestures, I have complaints about the level of AI integration into everything, and I have serious concerns with the surveillance, but I imagine that these won't even be a blip on the radar for most users. If you're looking into getting a new Android, you can't get much better than the Pixel 10.

    I bought this phone specifically for the camera, and I am impressed. The set up and transfer of my previous device to this one was easily accomplished. So far the battery appears to last a good while, even with constant use of the product. I have an issue with the layout but really that's just me being nitpicky. A case is absolutely necessary as it is quite slippery without one.

    This phone has worked smoothly ever since I first got it. The camera quality and battery life is amazing and helps me when I work. It doesn’t lag or glitch and the playback speed is very fluent as well as its loading time. Best Buy made it easy to get the phone once I picked it up in store and giving me all the pros and cons of it. If you need a phone that is fast working yet easy and not complicated, this is the phone to buy!!

    I purchased this awesome piece of technology for my wife just before our Hawaii trip back in May 2026. I’ve been buying Pixel phones from Best Buy since 2019 when I first bought Pixel 3 and then Pixel 8 after in 2023 for my father. Everyone in our family loved the features especially the camera. I bought Pixel 7 back in 2022 for my wife. Pixel 10 is really a technology upgrade. It’s easy to use and the picture quality is crisp especially in harsh light where other cameras fail to capture the essence. We were able to capture some stunning images (even snorkeling underwater using waterproof case) and look forward to exploring more. 5 star rating for Google Pixel 10!

    I haven't had an android phone for over 10yrs now. Transitioned to apple, I needed another phone for work. I decided to give this phone a try! I'm happy with my decision. The color is very unique, the quality of the pictures is amazing! The battery life is fine so far. If you are in search of a cute phone with great photo taking capabilities consider this as one of your choices.

    Pixel 10 Open Box Review

    I took my mother in to upgrade her cell phone. We originally wanted the previous model, Pixel 9, but there weren’t any in stock. The associate was super helpful and offered to show us a Pixel 10 in an “open box”, meaning it had been returned but otherwise in new condition. We were able to take the phone out of the box, turn it on and check it out before buying. The cost of the phone was less than we would have paid for the older model. She’s had it a few weeks now and it’s perfect, acts and feels just like a brand new one. The phone itself is great! It feels well made when you hold it, everything opens fast and smoothly. We’ve had zero issues and have been more than pleased with the device.

    This is my very first Pixel — and my first Android device after years of using iPhones — and I have zero regrets! I went with the base model Pixel 10 instead of the XL or Pro since I already have an iPhone Pro, and I’m glad I did. The size feels perfect, the color is gorgeous, and it does everything my iPhone does — and sometimes feels even simpler. The setup was smooth, and for someone completely new to Android, it was surprisingly easy and user-friendly. If it weren’t for iMessage (and my family still being on iPhones), I would be switching to Pixel full-time. This phone is a great alternative and the perfect first step if you’re curious about trying Android. If you’re looking to “jump ship” or just want a second device that works flawlessly, the Pixel is the way to go!
