Google Pixel 10 Pro: How good is the Pro Resolution Zoom?

The Google Pixel 10 Pro offers a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display with QHD+, 120 Hz and over 3,200 nits brightness. Inside, it features the Tensor G5 chip, 16 GB RAM and up to 1 TB storage, even if still partly in the UFS 3.1 standard. Features include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, UWB, 5G and the new ‘Pixelsnap’ magnet for accessories. A 4,970 mAh battery ensures solid runtimes and charges at 30 W wired or 15 W wireless. Android 16 with seven years of updates and AI features such as Gemini and Circle to Search round off the package.

The Google Pixel 10 Pro's camera relies on a versatile triple system: a 50 MP main camera with optical image stabilisation ensures balanced shots, supported by a 48 MP ultra-wide angle lens that also enables macro photos. In addition, there is a 48-megapixel telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, which can digitally magnify up to 100x. AI-supported, the so-called Pro Resolution Zoom kicks in at 30x magnification, sending the image to the cloud for optimisation. The user then has the choice of which version they want to see, but can also keep both.
