The battle of high -end smartphones is always played on the same level: evolution and non -revolution. This will also be for the next iPhones (albeit with a new Air version), and it is also so for Google Pixel 10, despite the round number made some changes predict. But to think about it, being a device that Bigg has led to high levels in recent years, the choice to focus on the IA functions and their use in everyday life, rather than on a new format, has its own logic. And in the end, in this comparison between iOS and Android, but also between top -end Android phones, has reached a leading position. Here, therefore, the sensations after a week of testing of the Pixel 10 Pro model.
Design and features
As mentioned, the Pixel 10 Pro does not upset its appearance: it maintains lines already seen in the previous versions, with the classic photographic bar on the back (which, according to rumors, will also be seen on the iPhone 17 Air), which has been better integrated into the body of the smartphone. The materials are truly premium: Gorilla Glass Victus 2 satin glass (which confirms the ability to be anti-imprint), satin aluminum body, IP68 certification.
The real novelty of this round is the Pixel Snap, or a magnetic hooking system compatible with the Magsafe accessories that proves to be very useful above all on the move. And in this case it is Apple who made school. The weight of 207 grams is well balanced: in hand the smartphone is very compact and transmits solidity, without necessarily being a scenic, 10 Pro shows quality and likes it precisely for its concreteness.
Display and cameras
The brightness and readability of the display is truly remarkable: the panel is a 6.3 -inch LTPO OLED that reaches peaks of 3,300 nit, which represents a very high level. The 1-120 Hz variable refresh rate also allows a fluid vision, so much so that the vivid colors and the light are perfect in very bright environments, such as the direct sun. In short: a top screen.
As for and cameras, there was no improvement compared to the “9” version: 50 megapixel for the main, 48 for ultra-wide, 48 for the telex telex. But it is the processing made by artificial intelligence that makes the difference, allowing perfect dynamic management in complex light conditions and a use of the 5x optical telephoto lens that reaches up to 30x digital with little quality loss. On the other hand, the question of the new Pro Res Zoom up to 100x is different, which will need further precautions in future updates. It is a function that uses generative models to reconstruct the details, but while on stopped subjects it does an excellent job, on the moving ones the image it returns is disappointing. In the first days of use, the majority of users complained about this defect, and there will be work to do to correct it.
Regarding the videos, the definition reaches up to 8K, but the 4K/60fps remains the most sensible for quality and management of files and memory. The stabilization is excellent and allows fluid clips even walking. Then there is the portrait function: the 50 MPX main sensor allows really pro shots, and also the front camera for 42 selfies returns images of which you can only be satisfied.
The functions of artificial intelligence
As mentioned, the Pixel 10 Pro was designed to put us at the center of the world of AI. There are several functions that have affected the launch, also for the ease of use: Magic Cue, for example, is a contextual assistant who integrates in the Google Drive, Gmail and Keep files, helping to recover documents or information in a moment; Vocal translations in real time during calls work naturally; The Pixel ecosystem (Buds, Watch, Chromebook) dialogues in real time without complicated configurations, with automatic exchange of files and clipboards. However, not all of them are still available in Europe, like those of editing, but those that are already satisfied.
Ultimately thanks to Gemini Ai we have several possibilities to save time and also have real -time suggestions to improve the use of the smartphone and its camera. And this personal digital assistant enjoys the performance of the new Tensor G5 chipset, developed with Deepmind, and which was not competing with the Snapdragon of Qualcomm and with Apple’s A17, but was designed to accompany the Pixel user in a more fluid and more natural way. Then focusing on the availability of Gemini Live. In practice: if you are also raged from Mobile, you may have some reserve. But otherwise not.
Autonomy
The battery is important: the 10 Pro pixel has on 4870 mAh (pro) and promises to reach about 30 hours of mixed use, with 20-30% residue in the evening after intensive days. The essential thing is that, testing it with a certain continuity, in the evening there was still a little full tank.
With the 30W quick charging charging, the device fills quickly. The one with Pixel Snap promises well, since it is 25W.
In conclusion
Each smartphone has its strengths and weaknesses, and in this case the Pixel 10 Pro is certainly perfect for those who focus on high -level photography (the Creators, to say) knowing that the hardware – respect, for example, to the Galaxy S25 Ultra – is a little more essential. In reality, however, we humans use what is most important, and among other things Big G on its devices puts that part of tests on future configurations, which makes its users appear explorers.
The price (from 1099 euros up) obviously forces one
Reflection, but if you plan to buy a solid smartphone and which gives great satisfaction there is also the fact that Google guarantees 7 years of guaranteed updates. Which, in the end, makes a nice investment of 10 pro.
