    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!

    Just its name you know that this phone is good. 1. the shape that we are familiar boxy edges makes for good elegant looks 2. Screen realestate is big bright enough under the sun still usable 3. Sound it has better speakers now and it actually sounds louder than previous and on other brands. It has a good earpiece and bottom speaker both are in the right spot and you cannot just accidentally cover them. 4. Battery is a little bit bigger than before so it helps you a bit more in a daily basis you can expect at least 30% at the end of the day of normal use with mobile data and camera. 5. The finger print sensor is on the right place and its fast enough i dont get it when people say its still slow.. 6. Features that you expect when using a pixel phone very good front and back cameras amazing pictures and awesome videos. 7. TENSOR people always says it is still slow.. i know why i bought the pixel i didnt bought it becusse i wanted to play games on it.. i want a dependable with a twist android phone.. 8. Wireless charging now one of the fastest wired and wireless charging phone out there.. with magnets too thats a plus and will always be convenient. 9. Water ressistance one of the best out there.. but i do not submerge any phone underwater anyways.. ill use a dedicated action camera for that one. 10. Its a pixel phone best stock android and best implementation of optimization out there.. it does not force you to sign in for every app it does not randomlly needing an update for each app on two different app store.. (clears throat) iykyk .. and it function as expected.. a great phone indeed.

    I have always had good pixel phones. This 10 pro xl is a nice upgrade to the 8 pro. Setting up the phone was pretty easy. I did have to call my phone provider to switch the ESIM. I am impressed with the picture quality. The new features are amazing. I especially love the password app where I can locate my passwords instead of password manager. The battery life seems to be great so far. The phone was getting hot but that went away. For fast charging you need the 45W plug. I am having issues connecting my pixel buds pro earbuds though. They keep reconnecting over and over again until they disconnect. I also wished the colors for the pro xl were different. There were no really pretty color to choose from tbh. I love the phone so far though. You won't regret it.

    Switched from an iPhone after 10 years. The Pixel is a great phone. I love the fact that it's running a pure android experience. The UI looks amazing and very user friendly if you're coming from an iPhone. The AI and camera working together make photos look so good. The modem is probably the only con on the phone. I'm positive it can be improved with firmware updates, I still get service everywhere I go but people on the other end have complained it sounds like static sometimes. But I just redial their number and it works just fine.

    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.

    For a long time, I was seriously considering switching to an iPhone, but I am so incredibly glad I gave Pixel a try instead. I’ve become such a fan of these phones that I actually passed my Pixel 8 Pro down to my wife so I could upgrade to the new Pixel 10 Pro XL! The Moonstone color is absolutely stunning in person, it has a sophisticated, premium look that really stands out. I also picked up the official Google Pixelsnap case in Moonstone. It fits the phone perfectly, feels great in the hand, and makes using magnetic accessories so easy. Everything is fast and smooth thanks to the Tensor G5 chip, and the integration with my Pixel Watch 3 is flawless. Whether I’m getting notifications or using the watch for fitness tracking, the two devices work perfectly together. If you’re on the fence about leaving Apple, don't be, this phone is a game-changer.

    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!

    The Google Pixel Pro 10 XL features a beautiful 50 MP camera, with a 48 MP ultra-wide macro focus lens, a snappy Google Tensor G5 processor, incredible battery life, and a 6.8” Actua Display. In short, this is one of the most efficient phones to use this year. Pros: Quick Response Time and Performance Incredible Camera Battery Life Screen Display Cons: AI Features are OK, but not convincing. Limited storage Upon setting up the Pixel Pro 10 XL and loading all of my previous apps/content (including photos/videos), I found the performance to be well above satisfactory. The Pixel Pro 10 XL features a Tensor G5 processor and 16 GB of RAM, providing quick response time while switching between gaming apps, texting through messages, and fiddling around with my emails. In other words, I did not experience any lag between applications, and multitasking (even when split-screening between my email and watching videos on YouTube), I found the phone's performance above and beyond steady. Let’s talk about the incredible, 50 MP rear-facing camera. First, typical features such as “portrait mode” and “panoramic” were typical in the menus when I opened up the camera. What I was not expecting was the quality of the photos. Even in portrait mode, I found that detail and depth are significantly improved in comparison to my previous Android phone. Additionally, I can set up and edit shadows/contrasts as I am about to set up my shot (something unique I have not done or discovered with my previous device); being able to edit and adjust with the Pixel Pro 10 XL on the fly is remarkable. More so, the “Panorama” setting allows you to take stunning photos with HDR+ clarity. I tested this outside, as I am outside a forest preserve. I found that HDR+ clarity/resolution added more depth and detail around the skyline/trees, with vivid color. Lastly, I used the photo editing software built into the Pixel Pro 10 XL. One feature is to ask AI to help you edit the photos. Although interesting and somewhat useful, I found that asking the editor to “remove a shadow near the ground/trees” at the edge of my photo created an odd “blur” effect on the ground (it was not as sharp or clean as I had hoped). However, asking the editor to remove “birds” from the sky was more useful. My guess is that, depending on the subject or what you ask the editor, specifics and photo edits may vary (and vastly, too). More so, the "selfie" 42 MP camera provided a clean, rich image (for a front-facing camera, I was pleasantly surprised by the detail and clarity). The Pixel Pro 10 XL battery life expectancy is 30+ hours, due to the 4870 / 5200 mAh battery. Although I did not get 30+ hours of battery life (I went over a whole day without charging), I can confirm that I was around 8-10% at the 22-ish hour mark, which is marginally better than my previous Android device. However, like any phone, depending on what you are doing (watching videos, texting, multi-tasking, etc.), battery life can fluctuate greatly. I will say this: I plugged one of my 65-watt chargers into the Pixel Pro 10 XL, and it took approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes for a full charge (when I had almost no battery life left); my conclusion is that battery charging performance was exceptional. One aspect that I enjoyed with the Pixel Pro 10 XL was the Actua Display, with the 120Hz possible refresh rate. I tested several videos on the internet/YouTube, watching 4K HDR+ content, and I found personally that colors, detail, and clarity were excellent. I did not experience any judding with (pretty much) every video I was able to use for testing. I was surprised by the performance of the phone, and the phone did not become too hot to the touch, either, while watching more than typical high-definition video (I have experienced overheating phones in the past). Additionally, the screen resolution is 1344 x 2992 pixels (a little over 1080P). But, again, HDR+ enabled videos were smooth, vivid, and provided excellent detail for my liking. Although there were plenty of positives to discuss, I felt that one thing I disliked was the AI use. For instance, the use of AI in photo editing. While I was in the editing software, again, it took a lot of tweaking and me asking the app to remove specifics from the photos (such as birds, or remove the sunlight flare, etc.) Lastly, the AI functions on the phone were the use of Magic Cue (which is only available on Pixel 10 phones, apparently). I used Magic Cue within the Messages app, and my wife asked for photos from last Halloween of our kids. The concept of Magic Cue was that I could tell Magic Cue AI to find my children in their Halloween costumes from 2024. Although some relevant results came back (I was able to attach and find the right ones), I did get some odd results of other non-Halloween-related images. Again, a nice concept, but it fell flat for me. Finally, the storage capacity of the Pixel 10 Pro XL is 256 GB. After transferring over my photos, files, text messages, etc. from my previous phone, I was already at 216 GB (more than half the allowed space on the phone). Since I have set up the Pixel 10 Pro XL camera to record in 4K and take high-resolution photos, the space on the phone will quickly surpass the 256 GB allotment. Unfortunately, I think Google is hoping users will back up their photos to the "Photos" online cloud service (and once the storage limit is met, Google will hopefully entice you to pay for this service). Again, for a phone of this caliber, I wish the Pixel 10 Pro XL offered, at the very minimum, 512 GB or more. Time will tell if and when the storage will exceed the phone's capacity. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL provides everyday users with a masterful 50 MP camera, a beautiful 6.8" Actua display, and a quick processor. Where someone may find the AI features to be less reliable, the storage capacity is one of the few flaws with this otherwise functional phone that seemingly can do it all.
