It’s Pixel 10 launch day! What are you most excited to see?

Google 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. Several weeks ago, I published an open thread highlighting how underwhelming the Pixel 10 leaks had been up until then. With few aesthetic changes over the Pixel 9 expected, I wasn’t overly optimistic that Google intended to introduce meaningful changes to the 2025 lineup. Well, in recent weeks, I’ve warmed to that idea.

Worried about the Pixel 10 Pro XL benchmark controversy? Here’s why you shouldn’t be

Well, friends, the day has finally come: Google Pixel day. Today is the day that Google will officially reveal the Pixel 10 series after months of leaks, and it’s a day we should all be excited about. Instead, a lot of Pixel fans are upset and complaining.

Last-minute Pixel 10 leak suggests controversial change is really happening

Google TL;DR A new leak appears to show Pixel 10 packaging with a message about eSIM setup. The image would support earlier claims that most Pixel 10 models may drop physical SIM trays. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is still expected to support hardware SIMs. With the Google Pixel 10 series launch less than 24 hours away, one question that remains after the many leaks and rumors is whether the phones will ditch physical SIM cards. A new image from reliable leaker Evan Blass might be our biggest clue

I've bought every flagship Google Pixel phone since the first - but 2025 has me reconsidering

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 10 is expected to receive significant upgrades this year, including a dedicated telephoto lens. Greater feature parity with the Pro models, combined with no expected price increases, makes the standard Pixel an enticing option. It still won't be the best option for power users, especially if you want the most capable camera system from Google.

10 Pixels in, the purpose of a Google-made smartphone remains the same

Google didn't need to make its own smartphone. Even though the company spent several years having other manufacturers build phones it could slap its "Nexus" branding on, selling hardware is not core to Google's business. Things like advertising and Search still handily dwarf the inroads the company's made as a smartphone manufacturer, and that will likely remain true for the foreseeable future. Compared to the contributions the iPhone makes to Apple's bottom line, the Pixel has always, in some
