Want the Pixel 10 Pro? 5 phones I recommend buying instead - and why

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Pixel 10 Pro faces tough competition at $999. Samsung, Apple, and OnePlus offer strong alternatives. Last year's Pixel 9 Pro still delivers great value. Google's latest flagship, the Pixel 10 Pro, is finally here, bringing its Pixelized blend of AI smarts and photographic intelligence to the premium Android space. I'm always excited for the release of a new Pixel, but now more than ever, it faces so

7 things about the Pixel 10 series you didn’t hear at Made by Google

The Made by Google event was very, very different this year. Hosted by Jimmy Fallon, the launch was more like an hour-long segment of The Tonight Show — his regular hosting gig — than any tech launch we’ve seen before. This was by design. Google wanted the launch of the Pixel 10 series to be for everyone, not just tech nerds. In that respect, it was a resounding success, with the stream currently sitting at 6.6 million views, as of me writing this sentence. However successful it might have been

Sonos headphones and speakers are up to 25 percent off for the back-to-school season

No matter how old you get, the back-to-school season will always bring a desire to shop. So, sales at this time of year are always more than welcome — especially when they're on some of our favorite devices. Such is the case with the 10 percent discount currently available on the Sonos Era 100. Our choice for midrange smart speaker is down to $179 from $199 as part of a larger sale on the Sonos website. The same price is available on Amazon, as are some more deals on Sonos products. Sonos debu

Google Chose Durability Over Sleekness for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and That's OK

When Samsung debuted the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last month, the spotlight was on how thin and light that foldable phone is. On Wednesday, Google took a different approach when unveiling the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, focusing more on internal upgrades like a larger 5,015-mAh battery and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance -- a major step in the world of foldables -- while sticking roughly with the design of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Both Samsung's and Google's updates are designed to make foldable phones

The Pixel 10 Pro XL Goes to Paris: Out of Hundreds of Photos, These Are My Favs

The phone's hardware hasn't changed much from last year, with a 50-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera offering 5x optical zoom. With the new processor and a host of software improvements, Google says it's made its best camera phone yet. To test the company's boasts, I headed out onto the streets. I was testing the Pixel 10 Pro XL, which has an identical camera setup to the base Pixel 10 Pro. Note, too, that to reduce file sizes for displa

Here are 5 reasons why you should pre-order the Google Pixel 10 right now

This week has been a pretty darn good one to be a Pixel fan. On Wednesday, Google announced a new pair of Pixel Buds, the Pixel Watch 4, and — most importantly — the Pixel 10 series. Even better is that if you like what you see, you can pre-order all of the new Pixel gadgets right now. However, that begs an important question: Should you pre-order any of the new Pixel 10 phones? My colleague Rita recently offered some advice about why she thinks you shouldn’t pre-order a Pixel 10, but I’m of a

I review phone cases, and these are the Google Pixel 10 cases I’d pick up at launch

The Google Pixel 10 family is finally here, and with it a fancy new totally-not-MagSafe feature called Pixelsnap and a minor design refresh. If you’re planning to upgrade, the bad news is that Pixel 9 cases are not compatible, so you’ll need to pick up a new one. The good news is that there are tons of great cases to choose from, especially if you want to take advantage of Pixelsnap. I’ve been reviewing cases for years here at Android Authority, and although the cases are still on their way for

I Roamed the Streets of Paris With the New Pixel 10 Pro XL and It Was Magnifique

I'm accustomed to testing new phones, but when the opportunity came up to get an advance look at the Google Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL in Paris, I leaped at the chance. I've been using the new features and extensively trying the 10 Pro XL's camera, and so far, I'm pleased with what I'm seeing. If you're expecting a totally new generation of Google Pixel devices with the 10 Pro, you may be disappointed. The Pixel 10 Pro is an evolution of its predecessor rather than a complete overhaul.

Google killed this feature so the Pixel 10 could have Qi2 wireless charging

It was exciting when the first rumors started rolling in about the Pixel 10 series adopting Qi2 . This meant the Pixel 10 would become the second Android phone to support the standard. Now that Google’s latest flagship has launched, this wireless charging functionality has been officially confirmed, along with a collection of compatible accessories . But it turns out Qi2 support is a bit of a double-edged sword, as its inclusion directly resulted in the removal of a different feature. Since the

I Still Love the Look of Google's New Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL

Google's Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are the company's latest flagship phones, packing a suite of new features. From the new Tensor G5 processor, faster charging and various new AI tools, the Pixel 10 Pro range has been refined in almost every way. Yet the design looks familiar, sporting an almost identical aesthetic to last year's model. Do I mind? Not at all -- I loved the Pixel 9 Pro, and I don't think its design needed overhauling just one generation later. The Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL go

The Pixel 10 Pro’s new always-on display finally shows your full wallpaper

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 Pro has a new feature that allows you to show your lock screen wallpaper on the always-on display (AOD). Your wallpaper is dimmed and blurred so as to not interfere with other elements on the AOD. Due to the feature’s display requirement, it won’t be available on the base Pixel 10.

I'm a longtime iPhone user, but the Google Pixel 10 has me reconsidering my loyalty

Joseph Maldonado/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Google's PixelSnap is the biggest upgrade for me on the company's new phones.

If a company releases new phone models but doesn't change the cameras, would anyone pay attention? Fortunately that's not the case with Google's new Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro Fold phones, which make a few advancements in the hardware -- hello, telephoto camera on the base-level Pixel for the first time -- and also in the software that runs it all, with generative AI playing an even bigger role than it has before.

Pixel 10 vs Pixel 8: Here’s why I’m not upgrading

The Pixel 10 series, save for the base model, is largely an incremental upgrade, with Google draping the familiar design in new colors. If you are coming from a Pixel 9 series, there’s little conviction to upgrade to the newer models, unless you absolutely cannot live without the new Pixelsnap accessories or the slightly improved Tensor G5. But what if you have an older Pixel 8 series phone? Then, the Pixel 10’s newer design can be alluring, while the new telephoto on the vanilla Pixel 10 could

Google’s silence on the Pixel 10 GPU is concerning for gamers

Google has just launched the Pixel 10 phones, and there’s plenty to know about them. There are some great new AI features, a groundbreaking IP68 rating for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and a telephoto camera for the base model. All four phones are also powered by the Tensor G5 processor. Unfortunately, Google remains deeply silent on a major Tensor G5 feature. This makes me worried about the Pixel 10 phones, especially if you’re a gamer.

Don’t panic: Losing SIM cards on the Pixel 10 is actually a good thing

Google’s Pixel 10 series is finally here, and for the most part, all the upgrades we were expecting have come to fruition. The Tensor G5 chip promises big performance gains over the G4, the Pixel 10 now has a telephoto camera, and all Pixel 10 models have magnetic charging built in. While it’s mostly good news, there is one change that’s likely to make a lot of people upset: the removal of physical SIM cards.

Google answers our prayers, adds 10x zoom button to Pixel 10 Pro camera app

TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 Pro phones now have a 10x zoom button in the camera app. This is a long-overdue addition as Pixel Pro phones are all capable of good-quality 10x shots. This also means you no longer have to rely on the Pixel Camera app’s finicky zoom slider to get to 10x. Google’s Pixel Pro phones all have high-resolution 5x periscope cameras, enabling 10x shots at a lossless resolution. This capability makes these devices stand out among the best camera phones on the market. Unfortu
