Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. iPhone 16 Pro Max: Has Google closed the gap? [Video]

9to5mac.com Damien Wilde 2025-12-01 20:42:35

From jibes to full-blown homage, the Pixel 10 Pro XL owes a lot to the iPhone and, by extension, the 16 Pro Max. Just how does Apple’s best device of last year stack up against Google’s best of this year? Here’s all you need to know. Before we start comparing Apples to Googles, we must acknowledge that things can’t be like-for-like. If you’re an Android person—like us—you probably don’t care about iOS things. If you’re an iOS person, you probably don’t care about Android. That’s absolutely fine

You’re wrong about the Pixel 10 Pro

When Google finally revealed the Pixel 10 series last week, I was there. I got to attend a secret preview of the phones a week before the launch, and I was in the live audience for the cringeworthy Jimmy Fallon event that showed the phones to the public for the first time. It was an incredibly exciting time for me, because I’m a huge fan of what Google is trying to do with its Pixel line. But you know who wasn’t so excited about it? A lot of you. Almost immediately after the reveal, the intern

Honor’s Magic V5 foldable almost feels too thin

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-02 05:30:22

As soon as I picked up Honor’s Magic V5, I was a little concerned about its durability. The fourth generation of Honor’s Android foldable may not be massively thinner than its predecessor, but it sure feels like it. Yes, it’s built with aerospace-grade materials to make it sturdy despite its svelteness, but it’s also the first foldable I’d insist on buying a case for because goodness me, it’s thin. If you recall, the last handset in this series was the Magic V3 and no, you haven’t fallen asleep

The Pixel 10 fixes my biggest hardware pet peeve, but many of you won’t see it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-02 15:00:30

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Much ink has been spilled around the Pixel 10’s SIM situation. In the US, the three main phones — Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL — ship without a physical SIM slot. You can use two eSIMs at the same time, and some of us think that’s fine. While I do love my eSIMs, I’m not ready to adopt them full time just yet, so you can’t imagine my relief when we learned that the rest of the world gets to keep the slot. My biggest relief, though, came when I discovered wh

Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Android Camera Battle

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-02 15:00:13

Smartphone cameras carry a lot of responsibility. They need to automatically make great images in any situation at a moment's notice. They're limited by the physics of small lenses, small sensors and less-than-ideal ergonomics. The photos they create need to be ready to share immediately, with no expectation that the images will be edited and refined later. Many phones hit a few of those targets, but a small number strive to be the best smartphone cameras you can pocket. The Samsung Galaxy S25

The update is now available in the UK, India, Germany, and Poland, with other regions expected to receive it soon. Besides bug fixes, the latest One UI 8 beta brings September’s security patch.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Apple iPhone owners can now use the Pixel Head Start Tool to prepare their data for a switch to a Pixel 10 series phone. The feature lets you prepare your iPhone’s passwords and photos for transfer before the Pixel 10 device arrives. However, this doesn’t seem like a huge upgrade over previous transfer solutions.

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 family’s Daily Hub feature can be sideloaded on phones from other manufacturers. We sideloaded the app on Samsung and vivo phones, and it generally worked as expected. Daily Hub is effectively Google’s take on Samsung’s Now Brief. The Pixel 10 phones have a Daily Hub feature, which is basically Google’s attempt at the Samsung Now Brief feature.

Pixel 10’s new ‘Head Start’ tool makes it easier for iPhone users to switch [Gallery]

Google is clearly trying to get more people to switch to Pixel 10, as the company has just launched a new “Head Start” tool that walks users through the process of moving into their new phone. Over the past several years, Android’s tools for transferring data from one phone to another have improved drastically. In many cases, a user can swap from one phone to another in a matter of 15-30 minutes, but there are parts that can take a while if you’ve not already started using them. That’s where G

Adding something like 100x zoom to a smartphone camera is no small task. Before now, only Samsung and OnePlus had really dared to push that far in the US, and they’d achieved mixed results over and over again.

Although it seemed too good to be true in leaks, Google really did ship the base model Pixel 10 with three rear cameras — including primary, ultrawide, and telephoto sensors. That telephoto camera is the star of the show. Ever since the Pixel 6 series, Google’s base model Pixels have been limited to primary and ultrawide cameras; if you wanted a third telep

Tensor is the Pixel’s secret sauce, empowering the series with AI smarts you can’t find elsewhere and solid-enough performance and battery life to last the day.

Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL review: Redefining the smart in smartphone

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-04 10:00:31

In the ‘90s, the term “smartphone” emerged to denote devices with “advanced computing” features that allowed you to do more than just make calls. But if we’re being honest, applying that label to pocket-sized gadgets that ran cut-down versions of desktop PC apps with half-baked UIs was kind of overselling it. More recently though, we’ve seen handsets like those from Google come with sophisticated features that simply aren’t available anywhere else, due in no small part to the rise of AI. And now
