Conclusion

The Pixel 10 Pro XL is a big step forward for Google, powered by the new Tensor G5 chip and packed with AI features. Gemini Live gives real-time visual help, Auto Best Take fixes group shots, and Connected Cameras let you link another Pixel or GoPro for creative angles.

The triple-camera setup with 100x Pro Res Zoom, 8K video, and 10-bit HDR makes it great for photos and videos, while the 6.8-inch Super Actua Display, 5200 mAh battery, fast charging, and seven years of updates make it reliable for the long run.

On the flip side, some AI tools feel gimmicky. Camera Coach is too step-by-step, the 100x zoom isn’t great with fine details like text, and Video Boost still depends on the cloud instead of the phone’s own chip. Add in the missing 25/50 fps options and its heavy size, and it’s not perfect. Still, it’s one of the most powerful and future-ready phones out there.

Pros

  • Tensor G5 chip – faster, more efficient, and AI-focused.
  • I features like Gemini Live and Auto Best Take make the phone smarter and more helpful.
  • Versatile triple-camera system with 5x optical zoom and 100x Pro Res Zoom.
  • Super Actua Display – bright (3300 nits), smooth (120Hz), and stunning.
  • Big 5200 mAh battery with fast wired and wireless charging, plus 7 years of updates.

Cons

  • Camera Coach feels too slow and impractical for casual shooters.
  • 100x Pro Res Zoom struggles with fine details like text.
  • Video Boost relies on cloud processing instead of on-device power.
  • Missing 25 fps / 50 fps video options for certain regions/projects.
  • Large and heavy design (232g), not the most comfortable to handle.
