Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a long time user of Pixel phones, I can be somewhat biased towards this series of phones compared to one from a South Korean company or the fruity company. The overall build and design of the Pixel is familiar. The same camera bar makes its return. Yet the physical dimension and location of said bar is just different enough that makes it incompatible with the previous Pixel phone. It’s a bit disappointing since there are those who trade in their old phones for a new one. And now there’s a phone case that cannot be used any more. One glaring detail I have noticed with the P10Pro XL is the screen glass. Usually when your thumb or finger glides from the chassis frame to the screen glass, you expect a smooth transitional feel. But not this phone. It feels as though the glass is a “lid” of sorts, giving you that ridge feel when you swipe from the frame onto the glass.(and vice versa). When you have a boxy design with rounded edges, you expect the feel to be smooth. Much of the previous generation’s hardware design carried over but with one major welcoming addition, which I hope will set the tone for other Android phone manufacturers. And that’s true Qi2 wireless charging. To quickly explain, some devices claim Qi2 wireless charging but they do not feature the magnets that help align the charging coils. (According to the Wireless Power Consortium, devices that do not have the magnets are considered “Qi2 compatible.”) Many people refer to the magnetic Qi2 charging as “MagSafe.” With the Pixel 10 line, it’s being called Pixelsnap. But the underlying design is the same – they’re Qi2 wireless charging. But it isn’t just Qi2 wireless charging being a major feature to this phone. It’s what it also brings now that it has Qi2 wireless charging - the various MagSafe accessories that the fruity company fans have enjoyed for a long time now. Software setup is easy and straightforward. The OOTB (Out Of The Box) experience is smooth and walks you through the steps of setting up the phone. Even setting it up early prior to having cell network access is a breeze. I have opted to transfer my apps and data from the old phone to the P10Pro XL. And while you can set it up as a new device, it takes a long time to find and re-download all of the apps that you’ve used. Lastly, using the phone and the experience of using Android as envisioned by Google, it’s an experience that hardly compares to the biggest Android phone manufacturer out there. There is no bloat. And you get 7 years of updates (from the date of hardware release) which will keep the phone feeling up to date and fresh. Plus, there are also some Pixel-exclusive software goodies, a lot of which are powered by local AI on the phone. Now to address the big elephant in the room: eSIM. I am not a fan of eSIM-only phones. It’s restrictive and consumes more time than necessary when compared to physical SIM (or pSIM henceforward). Usually, if you’re switching between phones, you can pop the pSIM out and put it into the new phone. Your new phone will be connected to the cell network within minutes. eSIM is a different beast altogether. There’s no quick and straightforward way to transition from an old phone to a new one with eSIM. And while you can switch as you set up a different phone on Android, what steps are necessary to set up the eSIM on a phone that is ready to use? It also raises questions about eSIM and how portable they are. How quickly can you get the existing eSIM put onto a different phone when switching? Or do you need to get the provider to generate a new eSIM to be installed on the other phone? With pSIM, you don’t have to deal with that. It’s just a physical object that you put into the phone and let the phone communicate with it and the cell network. If you are transitioning from a phone with a pSIM to the P10Pro XL, which is eSIM only, then you’ll need to prepare beforehand. Some cell providers can make the migration progress simple and easy. But my experience has been marred by my provider – they charge extra ($2 in my case) to make a new eSIM and their backend was broken/down when I tried to activate it. Eventually it got fixed and I was able to generate that QR code to get the eSIM installed on the phone. Still, I am not a happy camper that Google decided to go eSIM-only for the Pixel 10. Major bogus point here. One of Google and Pixel’s defining features is camera and image quality. Like before, it doesn’t disappoint. While I have heard that there are some image quality issues under certain conditions, I have not yet spent enough time with it to confirm this. What I can confirm is a quirk I found in the camera app, which has an odd behavior when switching between the main camera and telephoto camera. Is it normal? I don’t know. But the transition between the two is definitely quirky. The performance on the phone is what you expect. Google doesn’t aim for the top performance but rather settle down on enough power to ensure the experience is smooth and enjoyable. And while I do not know how well it can perform in games, Genshin Impact appears to run fine with virtually the same settings I used on the previous generation. Unfortunately, the performance score according to Geekbench will tell you differently. At the time of composing this review, the Geekbench score on the Graphics Processing Unit is less than half of the previous generation. That doesn’t bode well for the phone. But at the same time, there are several unknown factors that could contribute to such a low score. Over the course of just over a week with the phone, I find using it to be a joy. The fingerprint reader is a little better than before. But I am finding it tricky to use due to my workplace activities and a screen protector on it. Dry thumb has the possibility of using the reader worse when using a screen protector. The AI features don’t really stand out due to limited time and limited data. What Google envisioned with the phone with its AI features requires data to feed it and that will take more time than what I am allowed to have. In the end, I cannot help but like the Pixel 10 Pro XL. I do have some reservations about it coming from the previous generation. And I do find it a bit disappointing that the new chip hardware inside isn’t as powerful as I was hoping it would. But if your phone is 2 or 3 generations old, perhaps now is a good time for an upgrade for the hardware. Verdict: Buy if you have an older phone The Good: 7 years Android update, Qi2 charging, “MagSafe” accessories now usable The Bad: eSIM only The Ugly: eSIM only

The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL delivers stunning AI-powered features, a vibrant OLED display, and exceptional cameras. Performance is smooth with the new Tensor G5 chip, while battery life easily lasts a full day. Though expensive, it’s a top flagship choice for those wanting cutting-edge AI technology in daily use.

Great phone. Feels more solid than my old Pixel. Fast, responsive, good battery life, good camera. No longer has a curved screen, making screen repair and screen protectors easier in the long run.

Great phone! Gorgeous color (Moonstone). Great battery life so far. Around 7-8 hours SOT from 100%. Amazing build quality. Performance is flawless. Ignore whatever criticism you find online about "benchmarks." Except for gaming maybe, the phone handles pretty much everything else with ease. Just don't spend more than 800 on this phone. You can easily score it for that price or less on multiple sales.

I’ve been using this phone for a bit now and I’m really happy with it. The phone feels premium and the Moonstone color looks great in person. The screen is smooth and bright, battery easily lasts me the whole day, and performance has been very smooth so far. The camera is the main reason I bought it and it does not disappoint—photos and videos come out really good, especially in low light. Overall, it’s a solid upgrade.

This is my review of the Pixel 10 Pro XL. I did not have a choice in color, however Google did send over the Moonstone color which is a silver/grey type of finish. This color choice looks very nice for the Pixel XL. This phone comes absolutely packed with features this year through the work of AI, some good and some not so much. One question I wanted to answer to myself with this phone was just how much the AI changed the phone and if so, was it beneficial? Another question is coming from a 3 year old phone from another Android maker, how does the Pixel hold up in 2025 as a smart phone in the general sense like smoothness and speed? Let’s start with the first change and nothing to do with AI; the Pixel now only comes with E-Sim. This means that if your carrier still uses only physical sims, you can’t use a Pixel 10! My network I used was ok as I was already using an Esim, so I did not have any issues. The process took about 15 minutes and I was up and running, a painless process. On initial boot up there are several different AI apps or programs that will ask if you want to try them out. In settings, you can turn off these if you want to get that bare Android version. I have found that there are passive AI prompts like Magic Cue that seem genuinely helpful. Certain features do need several days to get used to the user, so some are not immediate. Daily Hub is a neat feature that hangs on your phone with weather for example. Throughout the day there will be reports on how the day is going, for example showing the weather is very nice and good to get out and enjoy it. Another app seemingly born from AI is Pixel Studio where you can have AI make all sorts of pictures. The app will offer suggestions as well to get you going in the right direction, like a fluffy bunny having a pastel lollipop. The freeform questions were very hit and miss for me, although I did finally get my football kitty I’ve been looking for. Pixel 10 also shows off Google’s Material 3 Expressive art style. I personally feel it looks great for Android in general. The animations are different and have been touched up all over in areas in the UI. These changes really made the phone feel different for me in just enough ways coming from another Android eco system. Another major focus this year was with the camera. Several apps pop up to help with taking shots, editing, focus, zoom, you name it. Just for the camera, there are: Camera Coach (helps with deciding where to take shot),Pro Res Zoom (which can really work amazing!), Add me, Best take, Panorama, Night shots etc. I want to point out that the Low light boost works amazingly well in my time with it. For example, after taking a picture of my wife, I changed the background to the beach in HI, then changed that to another background that looked decent even after removing the tables and drinks from the original picture. I also wanted to point out the Pro Res Zoom that after zoomin’ to 50 will work its AI magic and depending on what you are taking a picture of, will dramatically improve the finished take. Magnets found their way to the Pixel lineup this year too. I am very much looking forward to finding the perfect charging accessory this way. Google implemented Qi2 charging in the XL model along with 45 watt cord charging with 25 wireless charging. You have to love options, right? I have to say that the AI push was initially off putting. After trying out these features, they can really help with tasks. I can see using the Pro res zoom and getting creative with editing photos (which I never really did before, so there’s that). The low light feature is actually really great in low light, so that could be a game changer for taking photos at night. I added some examples, but I know there are much better ones too, look forward to seeing more from the community. The downside was the Pixel Studio app for example. Most of the requests I asked for did not happen. I hit my limit of requests (?) for AI seemingly very fast and had to wait another month. Weird. To answer my initial question, was the AI addition helpful or not? For the most part, yes! The Tensor 5 chip is very smooth and does exactly what it needs to do. I was surprised that it stood its ground as I threw task after task at it. I hope Google continues to concentrate on AI that can actually assist users in the future.

After spending 5 years on iOS, coming back to the Android platform with this Pixel 10 Pro XL was a refreshing welcome. All the features that were annoying on iPhone (notifications, app management, customization restrictions, etc.) are now a thing of the past. My last Android phone was the Pixel 2 XL, so this is a considerable upgrade. Personally, there are many exciting features on this phone and should be considered for your future purchase. Camera: One of the major selling points of a flagship phone is the camera, and it is no slouch here. The three lenses allowing for ultrawide, photo and telephoto work well for any occasion. However, the caveat is that without adequate lighting, get ready for heavy processing to your image. Especially, the higher zooms (30x and beyond) are basically unusable without processing. On the longer zooms, there is AI generation and sometimes it can give quite amazing results. However, anything with words will become a jumbo mess and unreadable. Overall, if you are coming in with phone camera expectations, then this will excel that. It has been great for capturing snapshots and saving memorable moments that would have been missed otherwise. Phone Usage: Day to day with the pixel has been pretty great. Not a lot of bloatware or battery draining apps running in the background. I did have to enable the battery saver option though, and that seemed to make it almost as efficient as the iPhone was. The camera app was especially tough on the battery, after 7 minutes in the camera app, it was using 28% out of all the apps from a 57 minute timespan. One of the main reasons I left Android was because their battery life heavily degraded after 1-2 years, so hopefully that has been improved. The OS has been responsive, only had one app crash so far from trying to auto copy from a sms. Whether this was the phone or the app’s fault, I am unsure. There have been no other issues since that has happened. AI: It is basically impossible to ignore the AI movement into everything. There are some nice features here, allowing you to use apps like NotebookLM to summarize videos or PDF files. Gemini has a screen share feature where you can use your camera to ask it questions. The camera app also has a photography coach, where it can help you frame the photos you want to take. It can be as intrusive as you make it, but you have the option to ignore this completely which is always welcomed. Cons: There is not a whole lot to dislike. This is Google’s top smartphone and they packed as many features into it as they could. As long as they can stay faithful to the freedom that the Android platform can provide, it is still worthwhile to pick this over iOS. That being said, Google has continued to slowly strip away certain freedoms, including the ability to install apps that did not have their permission. The more anticonsumer practices that are put in place, the less incentive there is to continue using Android as the hardware and software from Apple has always been better. Longevity hasn’t always been the strong suite for Android, but the 7 years of continuous updates is a path in the right direction. Overall, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is worth considering. If you are already on the Android platform, then you know what you are looking for. There are lots of options on the market and you can’t go wrong with the Pixel.

Phone is pretty solid. Takes pretty great photos, the AI superzoom can be pretty alright for some things. Battery life is pretty good, not top tier but it's solid. I haven't seemed to overload the Google made processor but I also don't do any real gaming on the phone. Screen size is solid just like previous models. Only real con is the fact that the camera bumps out the back, it's a little annoying. I also didn't really like coming from the 8 pro, that they added a middling device since then that feels like they were just squeezing more money out of me.

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!

I had always purchased low-end Android phones, only to find that the updates were limited to a short time frame, and the performance was mediocre. I live in the GOOGLE ecosystem, so I finally decided to buy the flagship phone that I really wanted. This phone absolutely fits the bill. The performance is excellent, and the options and unique settings available in this phone are extremely impressive. While I've only had a short time to take photos, I am amazed at the quality of pictures compared to my previous phones. And the camera features are rich for sure. If your looking for a phone that will last for many years, this is the one. I am still discovering the features of this phone, and I simply love it.

The phone we purchased is awesome as well. Great speed and ease of use. Camera quality is as good or better than the current IOS phones that I have been able to compare it to. North Canton Ohio BestBuy Customer service was wonderful. They went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of, and happy.

I've had my Pixel 10 Pro XL for a few days now, and I'm blown away by its performance. The camera is one of the best I've ever used, capturing stunning photos with incredible detail and color accuracy. The display is vibrant and responsive, making it perfect for gaming and watching videos. The battery life is impressive, and the fast charging feature is super convenient. The software is intuitive and user-friendly, with timely updates and security patches. Overall, I highly recommend the Pixel 10 Pro XL to anyone looking for a top-notch smartphone.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL is everything I need in a phone — fast, clean, and super smooth. The display is big and sharp, perfect for multitasking or media, and the overall feel is premium without being flashy. Battery life holds up all day, and the performance is consistent no matter what I’m doing. The software is smart but not overbearing, and everything just works. It fits right into my setup and handles both personal and work tasks without breaking a sweat. If you want speed, simplicity, and solid build quality, this phone delivers.

This is by far the best Google phone i have owned. The processor is fast and the battery life is excellent. Screen quality is very good also

I upgraded to the Pixel 10 Pro XL mainly for the camera, and it is absolutely stunning. The photos are crisp, vibrant, and the low-light performance is unmatched. The AI editing features are magical—I can fix imperfections in seconds. The screen size is perfect for editing and watching videos, and the battery easily lasts me all day. If you love photography, this is the phone to get. Truly a premium experience!

Great phone, amazing camera system. No issues whatsoever. The only drawback I had was - I bought the Unlocked version and then went to FirstNet provider who stated my version is lacking Band 14 and therefore is not compatible. So if you're going with FirstNet you need AT&T version of the phone.

Arrey bhai, Google ka naya Pixel 10 Pro XL is like the Bollywood blockbuster of smartphones – big, stylish, and packed with drama! Starting around $1,199 (₹1,00,000+), this is Google’s top-of-the-line phone for 2025, and it shows. First, the display – wah! A massive 6.8-inch screen with super-bright resolution makes everything from Netflix binges to cricket highlights look stunning. Cameras? Pure magic. With 50MP main and advanced AI editing, your photos will look like they’re straight out of a professional studio. Plus, the new 100x zoom mode is perfect for those “door ke scenes” shots. Under the hood, the Tensor G5 chip powers all the AI tricks – live call translations, smart photo edits, and more. Honestly, better than iPhone for AI features, hands down! But haan, battery life is slightly behind the latest iPhones, so heavy users might notice a difference. Now, one important point for Indian customers – no physical SIM slot. It’s eSIM-only, so check with your carrier before buying. Downsides? Price is high, and some AI features need updates to work perfectly. But bhai, this is one of the smartest Android phones you can buy today. And here’s the best part – discounts up to $350 (₹30,000+) are live now, plus an extra $240 off if you trade in your Pixel 7 Pro. Total savings? Almost $590 – wah, kya deal hai! So if you’ve been waiting, abhi le lo – this is the right time! Speaking from experience – I’ve owned Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and now Pixel 10 Pro XL, and every upgrade has been pure satisfaction. Google is delivering consistency like a true hero!

I recently purchased the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL from Best Buy, and I am blown away. The camera quality is simply unmatched—photos look professional with zero effort. The screen is bright and crisp, and the battery life easily gets me through a full day of heavy use. The purchasing process at Best Buy was smooth and professional. If you are on the fence about upgrading, just do it. Highly recommended!

Excellent Phone with amazing camera. Feels heavier than the pixel 8 pro. Battery life is really really good. I can make it the whole day without charging and watch occasional youtube.

The Google Pixel is an outstanding phone with a top-tier camera, smooth performance, and a clean Android experience. The display is vibrant, battery life is solid, and features like Night Sight and Call Screening make it stand out. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a smart, reliable smartphone.
