Google Pixel 10 Pro The Pixel 10 Pro is the best small Android flagship you can buy, just like its predecessor was a year ago. Its design is compact and comfortable, its screen looks incredible, and its cameras are seriously powerful. The new built-in magnets are hugely convenient, and Google's Pixel software is better than ever. The Pixel 10 Pro may not be the best choice for hardcore gamers or serious power users, but for basically everyone else, it's one of the best Android experiences around.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro is not an exciting smartphone. It looks virtually identical to the Pixel 9 Pro while featuring the same cameras, minor upgrades to the battery and charging, and a new chipset that’s not the savior we had hoped it might be.
While all of that is technically true, so is the fact that the Pixel 10 Pro is my new favorite Android phone. While it may not have a flashy new design or record-setting benchmarks, the day-to-day experience of using the Pixel 10 Pro is one that I can’t get enough of. Whether it’s the compact design, magnetic charging, versatile cameras, or unmatched software, there’s so much to like about this phone.
The Pixel 10 Pro is easy to dismiss, but it’s also easy to love. And if you’re like me, it’s the new Android phone to buy in 2025.

When I say the Pixel 10 Pro looks like the Pixel 9 Pro, I mean it really looks like it. Not only did Google keep the same general design language this year, but the two phones’ dimensions are identical, too. There are enough smaller tweaks that a Pixel 9 Pro case won’t fit the Pixel 10 Pro, but this is basically the same design.
While that may not be particularly exciting, I personally couldn’t be happier. I think this is the best design we’ve ever seen from Google, so having it for another year on the Pixel 10 Pro isn’t a bad thing at all. It means another year of wonderfully clicky buttons, a lovely matte finish on the back, and a sleek, polished frame. My review unit features this year’s new Jade color, which may be a contender for one of my favorite Pixel colors of all time.

In addition to its great looks, the Pixel 10 Pro is also just as practical as ever. The 6.3-inch display is the same size as the Pixel 9 Pro, and just like that phone, the Pixel 10 Pro is comfortable to use one-handed and slip in a tight pocket in a way that so many other flagship Android phones are not.
