Reviews for the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL
Source: Slashgear
The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (and the rest of the Pixel 10 series) represents the company's most intense focus on artificial intelligence features in any device yet. But if you're not excited about AI, don't worry, Google Pixel 10 (and the Pro models) are worth a look even if you deactivate and disable every bit of AI, top to bottom. While Google's promotion of these devices will inevitably focus on AI — that's hype, at the moment — really, the whole Pixel 10 series has excellent-enough hardware and software to match the devices' prices. In the photos in this review, you'll see that the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and its two smaller relatives look a lot like one another. Set in a row, you'll see a difference in luster between the Pro and non-Pro, and you'll see a significant difference in the size of the display in the XL device. But they're all Google Pixel 10 devices — and they all offer the same sort of guarantee when it comes to longevity in both software* and hardware.

OK, so what are the big upgrades here? A notably more powerful processor, and a truly impressive 100x zoom. Probably a couple of exclusive AI features, too. We'd suggest to hold off on the pre-order right now to see final results after all the benchmarks and reviews have been completed. And also, keep an eye on Android 16 updates for the Pixel 9 line. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is not that much different than the Pixel 9 Pro XL. And, if the latter gets the most features of Android 16 — you may be able to get away with purchasing (or keeping) the older model! That said, the Jade Pixel 10 Pro XL looks lovely...

This year’s Pro XL Pixel doesn’t stray far from the formula set out by the last one – but still manages to improve on it in all the right places. Android 16 feels modern without alienating fans of the old look, Qi2 magnetic charging is a welcome (if overdue) addition that’ll tempt iPhone owners thinking of making the switch, and the Gemini upgrades are genuinely useful. Even AI skeptics will have to admit Camera Coach is an excellent showcase of the tech, and really puts the phone’s rear lens trio to good use. I do think Google’s algorithm-led photography lacks some of the emotive charm rival phones are able to capture in-camera now, but not everyone likes the analogue film look.

With the Pixel 10 series, Google has, in some ways, brought the standard model closer to the level of the Pros than we’ve ever seen before. But in other ways, there are still quite a lot of differences between the Google Pixel 10 and its Pro-level siblings, and even between the Pixel 10 Pro and the Pixel 10 Pro XL. Below, you’ll find a rundown of the key ways in which these phones differ from one another.

Google is taking aim at Apple with the new Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, with the new Pixelsnap feature that mimics MagSafe perfectly, and the promise of AI features that Apple has so far failed to deliver. It’s a big bet on software, but Google’s Pixel design was already a step ahead, and the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL improve on last year’s great look. Our full review is coming, but my hands-on first impression will give you a good idea of how the Pixel has evolved.

I’m eager to put these phones through more testing to see how well they perform, but what I’ve been able to check out first hand convinces me that Google’s pulling ahead of the pack. The company has already established itself for having the best AI phones around, and the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL keeps on widening that gap. Samsung has done well to keep up with its Galaxy AI features, but I think it puts Apple Intelligence on notice because of the amount of new AI features present here with these Pixel 10 Pro devices. They add on to the existing set that Google has delivered, like Call Screen, Pixel Studio, Magic Editor, and much more. Hopefully other aspects of these phones are improved, namely the performance of the Tensor G5 and their battery life. One thing's certain: they make other phones look dumb.

In predictable Google style, it sticks with the same design philosophy as last year’s hardware shift, opting to focus more on the software side. Some appear very well-intentioned, like Camera Coach, whereas others, like Super Res Zoom, need proper testing to gauge output. The Pixel 10 starts at $799, while the Pixel 10 Pro is $999, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL is $1,199. All of these models will be available on August 27. The Pixel 10 Fold Pro will start at $1,799 and be available on October 8.

Tensor G5: The Google Tensor G5 is an SoC developed by Google itself with a focus on AI performance. It is used in the Pixel 10 smartphones and integrates three ARM-based CPU clusters. A fast ARM Cortex-X4 core is responsible for single-thread performance and is clocked at up to 3.78 GHz. Five medium ARM Cortex-A725 cores are clocked at up to 3.05 GHz. Two small efficiency cores of the ARM Cortex-A520 type are clocked at 2.25 GHz. The SOC is manufactured at TSMC using the modern 3nm process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
6.80":
It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

Google was founded in 1995 in the USA and became the world's most important search engine in its core business. Google offers a variety of hardware products, including smartphones, speakers, cameras and smart displays. Since 2012, Google also sells tablets and smartphones.
100%: This model is obviously considered exceptional by the testers. There are almost no laptops that are rated this well. If the reviews or the sources that give these ratings are to be taken seriously, then it is a very clear buy recommendation. Unfortunately, sometimes top scores are also squandered.
