How to pre-order Google’s new Pixel 10 phones, Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-20 11:36:13

The base Pixel 10 doesn’t look or feel all that different from last year’s Pixel 9 from afar, but it packs a few notable upgrades on the spec sheet. The big one is a new 10.8MP telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom, which should make the phone much more adept for portraits and shots of faraway objects. Previously, you had to buy a Pro model if you wanted a Pixel with a dedicated zoom lens. The catch is that the other two shooters in the triple-camera setup appear to be downgrades from the Pix

Joseph Maldonado/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Google's new Pixel 10 isn't worth the upgrade for me. It comes down to cost, color, and lack of new killer features. Too much AI is also a deterrent. The new Pixel 10 is upon us, and, as usual, Google wants us all to upgrade. For many of us, trading in our current model for a discount on the newer version has become a yearly tradition. I've done it ever since Google adopted the trade-in policy, and it has served me well. However, this year is di

Configure DNS once up front rather than spreading API credentials everywhere. It works out of the box with tools like Certbot and integrates with tools like Caddy and cert-manager.
