Reviews for the Google Pixel 10
Source: Trusted Reviews

Pixels are usually an easy recommendation from me for people looking for a great all-round Android experience, but I don’t feel that’s the case with this year’s Pixel 10. While the core Pixel DNA is present and accounted for, I can’t help but focus on the downgrades in the camera department to accommodate the new telephoto lens. Adding a mid-range camera tech to a flagship phone is never going to go well, even if your company has a reputation for doing amazing stuff with comparatively lower-end camera hardware. As such, the Pixel 10 doesn’t really stand out this year, especially when coupled with the poor thermal performance from the Tensor G5 and the fact that the display only refreshes between 60-120Hz. Sure, there are redeeming qualities here; the design is nice, the screen is bright, vibrant and detailed, and the combination of software and AI is one of the best around – but whether that’s all worth the £799/$799 asking price is going to be down to your preferences.

Google might not have the flashiest hardware updates, but there’s no denying that it put painstaking effort into elevating software features on the Pixel 10 series. Despite AI gimmicks like Veo 3’s AI video generation, Google’s general usability upgrades improve user experiences. It goes beyond the perks you see on other Android brands with cookie-cutter parts. Some areas, like Magic Cue, are still a work-in-progress, but the time-tested fundamentals like photography features (e.g. Camera Coach) are ready right out of the box. Even if Pixels never get ultra-fast processors, we’re pleased with such attention to the phones’ software. What it lacks in raw power, Google makes up for it by translating that power into perks that uplift its users’ experience.

Among the very best in our ranking, the Google Pixel 10 delivers a consistently well-balanced performance across all attributes, with color reproduction standing out as a particular strength. Compared to its larger sibling, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, the Pixel 10 offers an experience nearly on par with the flagship model. Readability is one of the Pixel 10’s strongest assets. The device adapts its luminance effectively in every condition, including the most demanding outdoor conditions. With a peak brightness of 2983 cd/m² in High Brightness Mode, outdoor visibility is excellent, and even under direct sunlight, text and images remain clear and comfortable to view. Color performance is equally impressive. Whether in Default or Faithful mode, the Pixel 10 delivers accurate and visually pleasing renderings in all scenarios.

Despite the same price as last year, Google has added some big additions, including magnetic charging for the first time on an Android flagship and a telephoto camera. There are other improvements, and aside from a few small niggles, the Pixel 10 makes for an obvious go-to option for anyone looking for an entry-level flagship phone.

The Pixel 10, with its new upgrades, looks like the perfect direction for the Pixel series. The new telephoto camera makes the setup feel more like a Pro phone, and the Tensor G5 solves heating issues while bringing only minimal performance improvements. Day-to-day tasks feel smooth, and the AI features run perfectly on this device. This could be a solid pick for your bucket list if you’re looking for a reliable Android flagship with great cameras and don’t care much about benchmarks or gaming. The Pixel 10 starts at Rs 79,999 and comes in a single variant with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.

The Pixel 10 feels like the biggest upgrade this year simply because it gets that 5X telephoto camera that makes your zoomed photos so much better. It also has Qi 2 now (just like the Pro phones). Unless you really care about the Pro camera features, it seems like the base Pixel 10 is the most sensible purchase this year. In the context of other Android phones, the Pixel 10 has more advanced AI and a cleaner interface that we still feel are advantages. But again, there is a caveat to that. Some of the new AI features like Magic Cue seem very over-rated and we found practically no use in having them. Maybe those features will improve as you use your device for months and it gets to know you better, or maybe not. Finally, we have to also mention the A word.

Overall, the Google Pixel 10 makes for a much better option over the Pixel 9, especially if you're thinking of upgrading from an older Pixel like the Pixel 8 series and below. However, considering that many of the AI features will eventually trickle down to the Pixel 9, if you already own a Pixel 9, it's a bit hard to recommend, unless you're into embracing the PixelSnap accessories or making a move over from a MagSafe iPhone. Due to the lack of Magic Cue not really surfacing much, we can't really say that the Pixel 10 series is now the de facto AI smartphone. However, it does offer plenty of Gen AI and Gemini features if you're into that sort of thing. In addition, thanks to Pixel Drops, you can also get a 1-year automatic Google One Pro subscription with each purchase of a Pixel 10, so you can try out Veo 3 and text-to-video as well (but you can also get this with the Pixel 9, fyi).

Reviewing Google's Pixel 10, the most affordable of their 2025 flagship phones boasting a zoom camera, PixelSnap battery tech and that Tensor G5. But after using the Google Pixel 10 as my full-time smartphone, a few bugs and other problems are all too obvious. So should you get one, save cash with the 9a, or upgrade to a Pro? Or maybe get another phone entirely! Well, I really like the Pixel 10 camera setup, even if it recycles some 9a hardware and isn't fantastic for video. You'll get naturally beautiful photos at almost any time of day, with that telephoto lens proving a worthy upgrade. Battery life has been fine if not remarkable so far, while the Qi 2 charging with PixelSnap support seems like a smart move. However, performance on the Google Pixel 10 has been a serious disappointment.

Comparing Google's Pixel 10 vs the Pixel 9a to see if this flagship phone is worth double the asking price, and which is best for you. From the camera hardware and battery life to gaming performance and beyond, this Pixel 10 and Pixel 9a review shows you exactly how they stack up. So, would you go for the fresher Google smartphone? If you're after the best camera phone of 2025, well, the Pixel 10 is high up the list despite recycling the Pixel 9a wide and ultra-wide sensors. That upgraded Tensor G5 ISP seems to help produce more accurate tones and also boosts the low light results. Plus of course you have the telephoto lens for zoom photos and video. But most people should be perfectly happy with Google's mid-range phone.

Twenty years ago, the word “smartphone” carried a very special meaning. Cellphones were everywhere; even cameraphones were already becoming common – but if you had a smartphone, it was understood that your BlackBerry, or Palm Treo, or PocketPC was a more capable, more powerful mobile companion, almost as much a computer as a communicator. Today, almost everything’s a smartphone, offered in two primary flavors and mostly one form factor. Foldables aside, phones have never looked more similar, the hardware changes to this model year of “Google phone” barely worth mentioning. Where the Pixel 10 shines is where it tries to redefine what it means to be “smart” in 2025 – and, that’s also where it stumbles. This is the MrMobile Pixel 10 Review.

The Pixel 10 feels like a careful evolution rather than a radical overhaul. Google retains the familiar design, adds an extra telephoto sensor to the camera setup, and introduces incremental upgrades to the display, software, and battery. Daily performance remains smooth, and the AI-driven features—though not fully rolled out—offer tangible benefits, particularly tools like Camera Coach and Pixel Journal, even if they still need some fine-tuning. Battery life is dependable, charging speeds are decent if not exceptionally fast, and the display—shielded by Gorilla Glass Victus 2—holds up well, though it can pick up light scratches when used without a case. Water resistance performs adequately in light rain, although touch responsiveness may become slightly less precise. Overall, the Pixel 10 doesn’t bring revolutionary changes, but it refines the Pixel experience. It presents a solid upgrade for existing Pixel users or a compelling choice for anyone considering their first Android device.

Despite my harsh critiques of some aspects of the Pixel 10, I actually really like the phone. I’ve been a Pixel user for years and there are a lot of things I like about the phone series – the Pixel 10 takes all of that and tunes it up. Sure, it’s not the best-performing phone on the market, but it’s a step up from previous Pixels. Many of the new AI features aren’t as good as promised, but the features I already like and use are as good as ever. But while I really like the phone, it feels tough to recommend. For starters, it feels more like a Pixel 9.5, offering several small improvements to what was already a solid phone. Moreover, if you have a recent Pixel – like a 9, 8, or even a 7 – I don’t think the Pixel 10 adds anything compelling to the experience.

While the Pixel 10 Pro might be the phone that compact Pixel fans gravitate towards, the Pixel 10 is the model I’d urge everyone to look at first. It makes several key changes to last year’s already solid package, and in many ways feels like a steal compared to pricier Pros. The Pixel 10 now feels closer to a Pro model in terms of everyday use. There’s no Tensor G5 Pro-model gap this year, and its lack of UFS 4.0 doesn’t affect app performance compared to the bigger models. On top of that, you now get a more flexible camera setup, Pixelsnap accessory support, and most of the important new Google AI features — if you’re sold on such things. After two weeks with the phone, I didn’t feel I missed out on any of Google’s Pro-tier features.For me, it's the best baseline Pixel flagship that Google has ever made.I have a few reservations about the phone, however.

The Pixel 10 doesn’t quite deliver on what initially looked fairly promising. Its cameras are good, but not better than the Pixel 9 Pro’s. It’s performance is good, but again not much better than the Pixel 9 Pro’s. Its display isn’t even better, and its design is much the same. Google banks a lot on its software, but I didn’t see much promise in that during testing, and every year Google binds new features to new models and leaves the “getting better over time with Feature Drops” prior models behind, I can only think that the same thing will happen to the Pixel 10 in a year’s time, too. All of this makes for a somewhat rough landing where it doesn’t quite rival the older iPhone 16 or OnePlus 13, both of which will see newer (and likely even better) models land soon enough to only further widen the gap. It’s still a good phone, but there’s little reason to settle for it when you can get a better one for around the same price.

The Pixel 10 packs many Pro-grade Google AI features into a smaller, more affordable package. AI-based functions like Magic Cue and Voice Translate make the phone feel smart as an everyday companion, and seven years of promised updates give the Pixel 10 serious longevity. If you want a compact Android phone with great cameras and long-term software support without paying Pro prices, the Pixel 10 is easy to recommend.

On paper, the Pixel 10 was a nice upgrade over its predecessor with the new chipset, faster charging, larger battery, more versatile camera hardware with a 5x telephoto unit and brighter display. However, our tests and subjective experience show quite the opposite. Somehow, Google managed to downgrade the Pixel 9 in most regards, except maybe speaker quality and display. Maybe Google was too focused on the software and completely forgot about the hardware? We can only speculate, but the fact of the matter is, the Pixel 10 drifts even further from its competitors and fails to impress in either aspect. We had high hopes for the 5x telephoto camera at least, but its performance is unimpressive and doesn't justify the downgrade in the main and ultrawide cameras.

The Google Pixel 10 has been priced at Rs 79,999 in India and it is available in only one variant — 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. At this price, and with its more conservative hardware similar to the iPhone, it looks a little pricey when compared to phones from the likes of OnePlus, Vivo and Oppo, companies that are more aggressive. And yet, if I am buying a phone in this price segment I would pick the Pixel 10. With devices like the iPhone and Pixel 10 what you get is a mix of hardware and software that is superior to plain specs muscle or raw performance that most of the Android phones offer. The Pixel 10 is a good-looking and well-built phone with excellent display, good battery life and software that is clean and more tasteful than what you otherwise get. It takes a step back in camera performance but it is still a Pixel.

The Pixel 10 sets a new bar for base-model flagship phones, offering a high-quality experience and great camera with a meaningful telephoto zoom that doesn’t feel like a poor second cousin to the Pro models. The outside has not changed a lot since last year but it is an attractive design that stands out in the sea of rather samey phones, at least from the back. It feels snappy in operation, even if it doesn’t have the fastest chip available, and the battery lasts a decent 1.5 to two days between charges. Some of the new AI features actually seem like meaningful improvements, particularly Magic Cue, auto Best Take and other small bits that run locally in the background while you are doing things. Combined with Gemini, Google is leagues ahead in the era of actually useful AI tools compared with rivals such as Apple, and it doesn’t get in the way of the core smartphone experience.

Keen on harnessing AI in your daily life, and are invested in Google's ecosystem? The Google Pixel 10 may just be the compact, affordable flagship smartphone for you. Now, it's not a major upgrade from last year's model. But the Pixel 10 finally gets a telephoto rear camera, though the other upgrades are minor (there are even some downgrades). And while the new Tensor G5 chip powering the phone is faster, it's not quite class-leading. Instead, the killer feature — though some of the new AI features have potential — may turn out to be Pixelsnap, Google's version of MagSafe that's compatible with existing MagSafe accessories. The Google Pixel 10 starts from S$1,199, which is the same price as last year's Pixel 9. However, the base storage remains at a miserly 128GB, and while you get a telephoto camera, the main and ultra-wide cameras are not as good as the Pixel 9. Battery life, though, has improved. It all boils down to what you value more in your phone.

The Google Pixel 10 is an excellent flagship smartphone for its $799 price bracket. Comparable to the offerings from Samsung and Apple, the Pixel 10 excels in photography, while its AI tools are some of the best currently available with actual practical usefulness. I feel Magic Cue has a huge amount of potential, and it currently just scratches the surface of this on the Pixel 10 – but it’s a feature which will likely grow as you own the phone. I wouldn’t recommend upgrading if you’re currently using a flagship from 2024, as while there are some solid improvements on the Pixel 10, they don’t add up to a major leap forward. However, if you’re rocking an iPhone 15, Galaxy S23 or Pixel 8 and want to experience Android and Gemini AI as Google intended, the Pixel 10 is for you. It gives you the Google experience you want, without the bloat or bulk of rival Androids.

It all feels quite positive, but the reality is, even without the battery life issues, I’d struggle to recommend the Google Pixel 10 Pro. Aside from the new processor and Pixelsnap – which is a great inclusion – this is essentially the same phone as the Pixel 9 Pro. With last year’s model now being heavily discounted, there’s very little reason for you to spend more on the latest version. Which is a shame, because the Pixel 10 Pro, taken in isolation, is a decent compact smartphone. The display is exquisite, the cameras continue to be some of the best in the game, and the addition of MagSafe-style charging is significant; you can expect every other Android phone manufacturer to do something similar over the next 12 months. Back in the real world, however, you’ll find more bang for your buck – and still get Pixelsnap charging – in the Pixel 10, or you can save money and pick up the very similar, but now year-old Google Pixel 9 Pro.

Normally I’m praising the Pros because of their superior hardware, but it’s a different story this year because it’s the Pixel 10 that gets the biggest upgrades in my opinion — made better by how it remains at $799. For its cost, it commands attention for its value over comparably priced models like the iPhone 16 and Galaxy S25. The addition of a dedicated telephoto shooter with 5x optical zoom is noteworthy because it sets the benchmark for other phones in this price range. There’s also all the new AI features that I find helpful in saving time, especially how extremely well Ask Photos works with editing images and the improved Auto Best Take feature. It’s not perfect, though, partly because I was expecting better processing and battery performance out of it — but the Tensor G5 still lags behind Apple and Qualcomm’s chips. But when I look at the overall picture, the Pixel 10 gives you a lot of those ‘Pro’ features without the ‘Pro’ price. And I think that’s remarkable.

The Pixel 10 redefines what we should expect from base flagship smartphones. With Apple’s next iPhone just around the corner, Google has added a 5x telephoto camera, rounding out the Pixel’s photography chops offering while augmenting it with more features powered by Gemini. Camera Coach might not be for everyone, but Magic Cue — like Pixel Screenshots last year — is a glimpse into the future of how we’ll use AI on smartphones. The Pixel 10 is a substantial upgrade from the Pixel 9, although given it has the Tensor G5 chip, it’s a shame that software features like Zoom Enhance from last year’s Pixels didn’t make the cut. Unless you’re a die-hard smartphone gamer, there isn’t a more capable smartphone at this price.

It’s hard for me to recommend anyone sprint to their nearest smartphone distillery to get Pixel 10 because its non-AI changes are largely incremental, and the new AI toolkit failed to impress this AI-skeptical reporter. But that’s not to say it’s a bad phone, at all. And if you're excited to use its AI features, the Pixel 10 offers good specs at a competitive price. The cameras work well, and having telephoto zoom on a base Pixel is really nice. Performance and battery life are also strong. I just can’t sit here and tell you that you need this phone, unless you’re several generations behind and can get a nice discount through your carrier or something. That’s less of an indictment of Google than of the incremental upgrade era. These annual smartphone launches are becoming extremely iterative and reliant on features that feel less and less impressive over time.

The Pixel 10 proves that you don’t need to splurge on the Pro model to get a flagship-level experience. Over a week of use, it impressed with a refined design, solid build quality, and thoughtful details like the satin-finish frame, glossy glass back, and a symmetrical camera bar that keeps it stable on flat surfaces. The 6.3in Actua OLED display is bright, sharp, and vibrant, with 120Hz smoothness and excellent outdoor visibility, while the dual speakers deliver surprisingly full, clear audio for everyday media. Performance is smooth and responsive thanks to the Tensor G5 chip and 12GB of RAM. Multitasking, AI features like Magic Cue, and Pro-level camera processing all run without hiccups.

The Pixel 10 is a baseline phone that borrows from its pricier Pro counterparts by packing an impressive triple camera system, long-lasting battery and plenty of AI capabilities. I'm thrilled the price didn't go up compared to last year's model, but $799 is still a decent chunk of change. Thankfully, the Pixel 10 proves its value from a hardware and software standpoint, notably by baking in AI in a way that feels intuitive rather than overly flashy, even if there are still some hiccups. Does that mean you should upgrade? If you have a Pixel 8 or 9, you're probably fine holding onto your device for a few more years. But if you have an older phone, the AI integrations and upgrades across the camera, battery and processor may make the switch worthwhile.

Google has made some incredibly smart choices with the Pixel 10 that make it my top current pick for ‘regular Android phone of 2025’. It’ll take some beating, in that regard – particularly in the realm of iOS-to-Android switching.

This is the third year I’ve been pleased with a Google launch. The Pixel 8 was solid, the Pixel 9 was refined, and the Pixel 10 is the complete package. The Pixel 10 Pro XL’s price tag is steep, and not everyone wants to pay $1,200 for a smartphone. If you’re looking for a premium experience, with easy-to-use software, and a more attainable price tag, the Pixel 10 is the phone you should look at, especially if you’re tired of looking at the same iPhone every year.

With more or less the same design as last year, you might assume that the Pixel 10 is more of the same. It's not. Sure, the Tensor G5 isn't the competitive performance-focused chipset that some might have wanted, but pretty much everything else about the phone is an upgrade. Even better is the fact that most of those changes are noticeable to tech nerds and basic phone users alike. Full Qi2 support unlocks a whole ecosystem of accessories and chargers, while a telephoto camera means that those who pull their phone out and pinch to frame the shot will simply get better photos. It's easy to recommend the Pixel 10.

With the Pixel 10 lineup, Google has taken last year’s excellent Pixel 9 series, and made it significantly better. Tensor G5 is more efficient and performs better than Tensor G4 virtually across the board. Qi2 with magnets gives these phones access to Apple’s vast MagSafe ecosystem of accessories. Pixel 10's brighter displays, upgraded speakers, larger batteries, and faster charging speeds are all welcome improvements. The Pixel 10 now also packs a telephoto camera that enables 20x magnification, and Pro Res Zoom allows the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL to zoom up to 100x, with spectacular results. Add Google’s outstanding software and AI features to the mix, and you have all the ingredients for a winning recipe. The only thing leaving a bitter taste behind is the lack of SIM trays on the US models.

The Pixel 10 vs Pixel 10 Pro matchup is closer than ever this year. With a telephoto camera, 3,000-nit display, and magnetic wireless charging, the base Pixel 10 no longer feels like the “budget compromise.” At $799, it delivers most of the flagship Pixel experience at a more approachable price. The Pixel 10 Pro still has the edge if you care about camera quality, RAM, and storage flexibility. Its larger sensors, sharper QHD+ display, and 42 MP selfie camera make it the more complete package — though it’ll cost you $200 more. For most users, the Pixel 10 will likely hit the sweet spot. But if you’re a creator, heavy multitasker, or someone who simply wants Google’s very best, the Pixel 10 Pro is the one to get. Stay tuned — we’ll be putting both anniversary Pixels through their paces soon, with in-depth results on cameras, battery life, performance, and displays.

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.

This year’s Pixel launch isn’t flashy. It’s not meant to be. What Google has delivered is a thoughtful, refined, AI-focused update to one of the best value phone lineups out there. And crucially, it hasn’t tried to reinvent the wheel. I already love the Pixel series and there is no reason to do anything drastic. Will I use all the AI features? Probably not. But some of them might become daily staples when I do some proper testing. Reviews are coming soon, but as far as first impressions go, this one’s left me very curious and satisfied with the level of hardware quality. Especially those camera upgrades. Check back soon!

This year’s Pixel lineup is all about refinement over revolution, and for lots of folks, that’ll probably be just fine. As iPhone users who love our magnetic MagSafe accessories, we think the Pixel 10’s Pixelsnap feature is a welcome and long-overdue upgrade that finally brings Google fans the convenience of slapping a magnetic charger to the back of your phone. But magnets (and some better cameras and performance) aside, the most exciting things about the Pixel 10 lie in software features that’ll likely come to older Pixels down the line, such as the promising camera coaching tool that guides you toward taking better shots. The Pixel Watch 4 is the kind of smartwatch upgrade we like to see (we’re always going to welcome bigger, brighter screens) and should be an especially nice pickup for those with a Watch 2 or older.

There’s a lot I already love about the Pixel 10, even from my short time checking out the hardware and all of its new features. I’m stoked that the price stays at $799, while the phone gains a telephoto camera, larger battery, and access to nearly the same set of AI features coming to the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL. Everything about the Pixel 10 appears to be a massive upgrade over the Pixel 9, so the only thing on my mind is what value does it offer over its siblings. On paper, I can clearly tell there are more differences than similarities with the hardware — like how the Pros have better camera sensors. On the flip side, I think the Pixel 10 serves as a warning to all other phones in this price point. They cannot afford to come up short, but Google raises the bar for what I expect from a $799-priced phone.

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.

It sports a very similar design to its predecessor, the Pixel 9 — so much so that side-by-side, you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference. There aren’t a ton of differences on the inside either, with the Pixel 10 sporting subtle internal upgrades like a new Tensor G5 chip and support for MagSafe Pixelsnap, Google’s take on the magnetic Qi2 wireless charging standard. Most notable are the tweaks to the camera hardware, with the base-level Pixel now sporting a third camera with a telephoto lens for optical zoom. In classic Google fashion, the Pixel 10 line sports several new software features too, like the AI-powered Magic Cue that promises to surface relevant contextual information right where you need it, or the new Camera Coach that can help non-photographers get the most out of the Pixel’s powerful cameras. The Pixel 10 line also ships with Google’s improved Material Design Expressive, making the software feel new even if it’s still just Android 16, like what’s been on the older Pixels since June.

If you think there’s not much to see on this year’s Google Pixels, well … I was thinking the same way on my quick bridge-and-tunnel ride into the company’s Pier 57 offices in Manhattan. But after a couple hours with the new Pixels, I’m happy to report that … we were both wrong. While Google didn’t blow out its design game like Samsung did this summer, there are a slew of hidden delights that give these Pixels more power and personalization than ever; a display technology curveball that I’ve been waiting three years for; and of course … a magnetic personality. I'm MrMobile; join me for a look at the new face of Android at Made by Google 2025!

The Pixel 10 brings some features to Android that I’ve been hoping to see for years – especially the new Pixelsnap magnetic charging. With better accessories on the way and a new long zoom lens, the Pixel 10 is the most impressive upgrade among all the new Pixel phones, and it finally puts the Pixel line in a position to beat its Android and iPhone rivals, if it can deliver on its photography promise and AI features.
