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.

I had traded in my Google Pixel 7 pro for a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL. I am super happy with the deal and the new product. Best-Buy gave me more than the estimated trade-in value for my Pixel 7 Pro which added to my happiness and to the trust I have with Best-Buy.
Pixel 10 Pro is more AI centric in terms of user guidance and the camera, the touch is very smooth, I haven't noticed any heating issue on he device. It has got a good battery. Camera has greatly enhanced my experience and perfect to capture the memories. I highly recommend this purchase, hurry up till the great trade-in offers last !!

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 phone is excellent the best google has done so far!
The phone is giving me such nice Nexus flash backs how everything worked together as one.
offers the best combination of display, cameras, battery life and software on any phone in 2025. Even the performance, which looks like a weakness on paper, ends up being a key strength
The Pixel 10 Pro's strengths are its advanced, easy-to-use AI features like Magic Cue and natural language image editing, excellent cameras, a great screen, refined hardware, and long-term software support

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.

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.

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 Android OS is too focused on web search. Any quick search highlights the web search results. It's missing the quick search options like iOS Spotlight search. Home screen customizations left too to be desired. The permanent Google search widget at the bottom and the quick glance widget at the top need to have options to be removed. Google wallet app needs more integration in the OS and the Google's services. For example I can't use the cards from the Google wallet app to pay for the Google One subscription. I need to entery card number manually. The phone is great for its camera and the pure Android experience but it lacks the seamless experience for its own native apps.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL is a great phone. The screen is vibrant with excellent color and clariety. The base model with 256 GB storage is a very good deal by Google. The inclusion of Gemini is well integrated into the operation system, and extremely useful. The phone's Tensor 5 processor is fast, and very capable of multiple tasks and applications. The pricing is very competitive, and the hardware is very modern and of highest quality. This is a highly recommended phone and purchase option.

The Google Pixel 10 Pro is a polished flagship that blends premium hardware with Google’s strongest software yet. Its 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display is bright, fluid, and easy to read outdoors, while the slim aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass build give it a solid, high-end feel. IP68 protection adds peace of mind.
Performance is driven by the Tensor G5 chip, which isn’t the fastest in raw benchmarks but excels at powering Google’s AI features. Real-time translation, Magic Cue for messaging, and new photo editing tools make everyday use genuinely more convenient. Combined with seven years of guaranteed updates, this is a phone designed to stay relevant.
The camera system remains one of the best: a 50MP main sensor, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP telephoto with 5× optical zoom. Low-light shooting is excellent, and AI-assisted editing makes post-processing effortless.
Battery life is dependable, lasting a full day with ease, and wireless charging now supports the faster Qi2 standard. That said, charging speeds—both wired and wireless—are slower than many rivals.
Overall, the Pixel 10 Pro isn’t about raw power but about smart, lasting value. For users who prioritize AI features, cameras, and long-term software support, it’s one of 2025’s best choices.

Switch from an iPhone 14 pro max. Boy did I miss android. Love this phone. It's snappy, feels good in the hand, pictures are great, battery life is great. I would not listen to benchmark tests as the every day user doesn't use their device anywhere close to that.

So far this phone is great. The camera is second to none and the OS is easy to navigate. The phone automatically gives you tips on how to use all the AI features, although they are not necessary. The only knock on the phone so far is that it will not charge on my wireless charger in my truck. It will charge for a few seconds, then stop altogether. Hopefully an update will fix the issue.
