    The Ultimate Pixel Experience - A Worthy Upgrade!

    As a long-time Pixel user, I just upgraded from the Pixel 9 Pro XL, and I am absolutely blown away by the Pixel 10 Pro XL. Google has refined the experience to near perfection. Performance & AI: The new Tensor chip is incredibly fast. Apps open instantly, scrolling is buttery smooth, and the AI features are smarter than ever. Call Screen is even better at filtering spam, and the on-device AI for things like photo editing and translation is noticeably quicker. The phone feels incredibly responsive and intelligent. Camera: The camera is, without a doubt, the best I've ever used. The photos are stunningly detailed and the colors are true-to-life. Low-light performance is phenomenal, capturing bright, clean shots in situations where my old phone would have struggled. The upgrades to the telephoto lens are also impressive, delivering crisp zoom shots. It's a true point-and-shoot powerhouse. Display & Battery: The display is gorgeous—bright, vibrant, and easily visible even in direct sunlight. The battery life is a significant improvement; I'm comfortably ending my day with plenty of charge left, even with heavy use. It also charges very quickly with my 45W Google charger. Ecosystem: The real magic is how seamlessly it integrates with my other devices. The connection with my Pixel Watch 3 is flawless, and my Pixel Buds Pro 2 pair instantly. Everything just works together in a way that feels effortless and cohesive. If you're upgrading from an older Pixel or are deep in the Google ecosystem, this is a must-buy. It's the smartest, most helpful phone on the market.

    Okay, so I’ve had the Pixel 10 Pro XL for a few weeks now, and I’ve gotta say… I’m genuinely impressed. I don’t usually gush about tech, but this phone? It’s something else. First Impressions From the moment I unboxed it, I knew I made the right choice. It’s sleek, solid, and just feels premium in your hand. The screen is massive and gorgeous—watching videos or scrolling through photos is a total treat. The Camera Is Wild I’m not a professional photographer, but this phone makes me feel like one. The photos are crisp, vibrant, and the AI editing tools are actually useful (not gimmicky). I’ve taken some shots that made my friends ask, “Wait, you took that on your phone?” Battery & Speed It’s fast. Like, really fast. Apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and I haven’t had a single hiccup. Plus, the battery easily lasts me all day—even with heavy use. No more scrambling for a charger by dinner. Smart Features That Actually Help The AI stuff is surprisingly intuitive. It predicts what I need, helps me write better texts, and even cleans up background noise during calls. It’s like having a little assistant in my pocket. Final Thoughts Honestly, I’m just happy with it. I wanted a phone that felt like an upgrade—not just in specs, but in everyday experience. And the Pixel 10 Pro XL delivers. It’s reliable, fun to use, and makes me feel like I made a smart choice. If you’re thinking about getting one, I’d say go for it. I’m loving mine more every day.

    I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. The product feels premium, performs exactly as advertised, and exceeded my expectations in both design and functionality. Setup was quick and simple, and it has been working flawlessly since day one. The build quality is solid, the features are practical, and the overall value is excellent for the price. I’ve used similar products before, but this one really stands out. Highly recommended to anyone considering it—you won’t be disappointed!

    New owner of a Pixel 10 Pro XL and very satisfied with the device. I was coming from a Fold 6 but the battery life was atrocious (due to the big screen). So, I went back to a regular slab phone and chose the XL for the bigger screen along with the battery bump. I can pull 1.5 days on constantly heavy use. Minor annoyances YMMV: Sometimes while multitasking, some apps might display blank. I'm not sure if it's a RAM stuttering issue, but once you clear the app and reload it, everything seems fine. I started using Gemini Pro a little bit more and it is quite handy, especially when using your calendar and doing research about a specific subject. I'm not 100% sold on it, but it is a free 1-year trial, so I'm not sure if I would keep it. Cameras are just a chef's kiss! Any lighting, any time of day. So far, I'm extremely happy with my Pixel, and I'd like to add that the PixelSnap is very convenient.

    All good. Love the camera and the 100x ProRes. Got some amazing pictures with it, which I'll be uploading here. These were really shot at 100x. Love the camera. Seamless transfer of apps and data from my older Pixel phone. Barely took 20mins. But I see the apps freeze momentarily. Especially the Phone app. I can't mute/unmute quickly because of it. Never had this issue on my Pixel 7A. It could be fixed with a software update.

    I have heard a lot about Google Pixel phone. First time I have changed my mind to switch from Apple to Google and I think my decision is right. This phone camera clarity is far better then any other phone. Display and touch is too smooth. Features/Functions are user friendly. Simply loved it. Thanks Google for making such a nice phone!

    Smooth as Butter - Best Android Phone Ever!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was an early adopter of Android phones and have always loved the openness of the platform and the ability to customize my phone to have it work the way that is best for me. However, over the years, I often experienced small glitches or things that just didn't work as well or as smoothly as they would on an iPhone. But the Google Pixel Pro has changed that! This phone is the absolute best Android phone I have ever used and is every bit as good as the current flagship iPhone. With the Google Pixel 10 series, it seems we no longer have to choose to get the things we like about Android OR a smooth working iPhone. It's now just a matter of preference of OS because the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is as good as a smartphone gets and has all the benefits of Android. PROS - Android Openness - Truly Live Wallpapers - Lots of customization including Homescreen - Gemini integration is great - Triple Rear Camera is next level - Screen is bright and beautiful - Plenty of RAM and no bloatware - Behind Screen Fingerprint Reader is great - All Apps work great - Crazy good battery life - PixelSnap is a Game Changer - Beautiful Design CONS - Lastpass integration not the best - Nothing else really I absolutely love this phone. Years ago, Samsung was the goto for Android phones. They would take Android and make it better. I think the Pixel 10 changes that. Google has gotten Android to the place where it no longer needs a lot of tweaks to make it good - it's great on its own. And by keeping it simple as they do for the Pixel phones you get all the advantages of the great things about Android without some of the glitches that can come from other companies tweaking it. I'm a heavy app user so I have loaded this phone up with all kinds of apps including things that run constantly in the background such as Tasker (my favorite Android app - like Shortcuts on iPhone but FAR superior) and Live Wallpapers and a hidden gesture trigger that opens up a bunch of shortcuts. All things that are strictly Android. And even with all these things running and all the apps I have, I haven't had any glitches or hiccups with things running smoothly. The Pixel screen is excellent with the variable refresh rate - everything looks good. It's plenty bright enough to use even outside. Scrolling is nice and smooth - no jumpiness. The touchscreen is also very responsive with no problems at all. I love the newly adopted gesture navigation but also appreciate the fact that I can add bottom of the screen navigation buttons if I want to. The battery life has been amazing. As I mentioned already I'm a fairly heavy user and I have never had to think about charging this phone except at night for the next day and I will usually have plenty of battery left at night when I put it on the charger. With this phone you can throw away all your charging banks because you'll never need them again. PixelSnap truly takes the Pixel Phones to the next level. MagSafe was definitely one of the best and most practically useful features added to iPhones. With PixelSnap on the Pixel 10 phones you get all that same functionality. And thankfully Google was smart enough to make it exactly the same as MagSafe so you have a world of accessories already out there that you can use this with. I've used it with my magnetic car mount, my wireless charger/mount at work, and a mini Magnetic speaker I have that attaches to the back. PixelSnap makes using your phone better because of all the options you have with so many 3rd party accessories. Of course, Gemini is available on any phone but the way it's integrated in the Pixel 10 Pro just makes it that much more useful. I love that Gemini is my phone assistant who is also an AI all integrated into one. It's one of those things that just makes using the phone better because of how much it can help you with tasks. The speakers on the Pixel 10 Pro series have been upgraded and you can tell. These speakers sound great - whether you're listening to music or video chatting or watching TikTok vids, the sound is loud and clear. These are some of the best speakers you're going to find built into a phone for sure. The cameras on this thing are so good. And the AI integration is pretty cool. If you want assistance with taking a photo, the AI camera coach can offer suggestions to help you get a better pic which is pretty cool. But even if that's not something you feel you need, the cameras are just excellent at capturing the shot in super high quality. And the AI telephoto zoom is crazy good - I took a 100X zoom pic with this phone and then another flagship phone from another company and the way the AI compensated and filled in info made the two pictures look completely different - the Pixel Phone picture looked great while the other phone had a ton of noise and didn't look good at all. This is really a game changer for zooming in with a phone camera! There are some other great AI camera tricks too like taking multiple pics and having AI choose the best one OR even take the best two and combine them. You can also take a group pic, then swap out with someone and AI will combine them into a single pick with everyone in there. Very cool! Google Photos and Pixel Studio are two other Apps with excellent AI integration. In Photos the AI Editor allows you to edit your images by simple instructions. You no longer have to sift through a million editing tools and options to get the picture you want. Simply tell AI what you want to change or improve about the picture and it'll do the rest - and it actually works great! Pixel Studio is an AI image generator but you can also use it with your own photos to get super creative with them. Texting and phone calls are great on the Pixel 10 Pro as well. Always a great signal and clear calls. But next level with Voice Translate which allows you to talk to someone in a different language and it translates on the fly so they hear your voice in their language - this isn't something I've had the opportunity to utilize yet, but it's an awesome feature and I can't wait to try it. Then there's the "take a message" feature which allows you to have the Pixel take a message for you and transcribe it so you can jump on the call if it actually ends up being important. These are not all of the features of the Pixel 10 Pro - these are just the ones I have been able to use the most so far. There are others and Google keeps adding AI features so it's only going to get better. But most importantly, the phone just works and has all the high end features I look for in my phones. And everything is super smooth and glitch free. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is the Android phone that has truly nailed it in my opinion and will be the phone to beat until the next Pixel lineup comes out!

    Give Pixel 10 A Shot

    The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is the darkhorse smartphone trying to make itself standout against the big two. This is my entry into the Google ecosystem of phones, I've been mostly Samsung since the Note 3, with one attempt at Apple in between. I was looking to upgrade from my S23 Ultra, and heard some good things about Pixel, so I decided to try it out. I'll start off with the pros about this phone. The Pixel 10 Pro XL has a sleek and gorgeous looking design. I got it in Obsidian (Matte Black) and it looks gorgeous with the polished frame, however I went ahead and bought the matching Pixelsnap case to keep my phone protected. The screen is a 6.8" OLED Super Actua display (1344 x 2992) with a variable refresh rate (1-120hz). The cameras are awesome and something selfie enthusiasts or shutterbugs will love. The Pixel 10 has a 42MP front face, 50MP Main Rear, 48MP Ultrawide, and 48MP Telephoto. All this is pretty high end for a phone, but really what makes the camera stand out is the Camera Coach, which is the Camera working with AI helping you to take better photos with onscreen tips and enhancing the quality of images, even if you're not the best at taking photos the Pixel will make it easy for you. I was taking so many photos of my cat just to see how good they would come. Under the hood the Pixel has 256GB of storage, 16GB of RAM, and Google's Tensor G5 processor. All this makes it quick and highly responsive when using the phone, whether its browsing the web, playing games, using apps, or watching videos. Pixel/Google UI simplifies and seeks to save time by streamlining most of what you do by linking it to your Google account so that sign-ins are faster, connecting devices is simpler, accessing files or sites or just doing work on your phone is quick and easy. This is all topped off by powering the Pixel assistant with Google's GeminiAI Pro for free for a year. The battery has about 30+hrs of life and is very good about conserving it. Now for the cons. There wasnt much I could really find bad with the phone, but nothing is perfect. While I liked the idea of simplifiying everything by linking things to my Google account, it did this too proactively. I found that if an older login information is saved, and you changed it, but didnt save the change to your account, then when you open sites or apps it autofills that older information as soon as you tap the login boxes, but when you try to delete the text to input the right information, the autofill just keeps refilling the login box with the autofill info. This also happened with connecting some bluetooth devices, when I tried pairing a device it prompts to link it to your Google account while or before you've even had a chance to complete the device's specific app setup, which when you do can make the app not recognize the device but the device will show up to the phone's bluetooth list. This happened for my Bose earbuds, Sennheiser headset, and Sony ULT tower speaker. The swipe controls and touch response needs some work. Far too many times I tried swiping right to go back a page or collapse the keyboard and it either wouldn't do it or would need a bunch of attempts to respond, I would swipe up to try and see my open tabs/apps and it would think I was pulling up my Search Bar or AI assiatant. When I would type up messages on Snapchat or Messenger the phone would repsond as if it was glitching out and kept opening up the camera and clloapsing the keyboard to send what I'm typing as an image. All of this was incredibly annoying and would for a while take me out of my experience using the phone. While it maybe a different ecosystem of tech it isn't a closed off one, the Pixel can connect and work with other brand wearables and devices. I was worried about this because I have my S23 Ultra paired to my Galaxy Watch6 and GalaxyBook4, but my worries were for nothing because it all connects great. Overall, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is a good phone for experienced android users or anyone wanting to break away from one of the big 2.

    I've been using the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL for 58 days, and I'm already facing issues. The battery life has decreased by 3%, currently showing 97%. I'm concerned about the rapid drain. Network connectivity is also a problem. The camera is great, but using it for just 15 minutes causes overheating. Overall, I'm a bit disappointed with this device. Not meeting my expectations.

    This Might Just Be The Perfect Android Phone

    The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is a beautiful phone, and I’m loving it. It looks and feels great to hold, even with its large screen. Since this is my first phone review, and I'm not super technical when it comes to them, I'll keep it simple and just share my thoughts. Right out of the box, you can tell the Pixel 10 Pro XL is a flagship device. The build quality, materials, and screen all feel premium, and it’s comfortable to hold despite its size and weight. The camera bar is a nice touch, as it lets the phone lie flat without rocking. Android has come a long way, and with Google’s promise of seven years of OS updates, you'll have the latest software for a long time. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is incredibly fast, and its 120Hz screen makes scrolling buttery smooth. The display is vibrant and has great contrast as well. You’re going to love the display on this phone, I promise. The speakers are also impressive for a phone, but since most people use headphones, this might not be a major selling point for everyone. The camera is simply amazing. The superzoom goes all the way up to 100x. While it’s not perfect at max zoom, it still takes awesome photos. Google’s AI, powered by Gemini, adds cool features like combining people into a single photo. I tried adding myself to a family picture, and it worked surprisingly well. Motion shots looked good, and the video quality was picture-perfect. Gemini Live is another fun feature, especially when you're on video calls. It identified my dogs, various products, and even the pattern on a roll of toilet paper in seconds. You get a year of Google Gemini Pro, but if you're already a Google One subscriber, you might not be able to redeem it. There's also Magic Cue, which pulls up relevant information from emails or texts during a call. When I called my pest control company, it showed my last service date, which was incredibly helpful. Overall, I’m really enjoying the Pixel 10 Pro XL. The camera, large vibrant screen, and smooth performance are fantastic. It's fast, runs the latest Android, and handles gaming, journaling, and photo editing with ease. It’s a great choice for any Android user or someone switching from iOS. The Pixel 10 Pro XL feels like an Android equivalent of an iPhone, perfect for those who want a big, powerful phone. I’m struggling to see any cons with this phone other than maybe it’s size might be too big for people with smaller hands and the price is quite steep when buying it unlocked.
