We've been fans of the Google Pixel Pro since its release, so the fact that you can get it for free when you upgrade to an Unlimited Verizon plan is definitely something we took note of. The Pixel 10 Pro has one of the best camera systems available, with a triple-lens setup that includes a 50MP primary lens, a 58MP ultrawide, and a 48MP 5x telephoto camera, all enhanced by features like ProRes AI Zoom and Auto Best Take.

In fact, Matthew Miller took 1,000 photos with the Pixel 10 Pro in Hawaii. He said it "stood out as the most reliable and versatile option" compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, Vivo X200, and OnePlus 13. The Pixel 10 Pro utilizes Google's ProRes Zoom up to 100x, allowing users to capture images from very far away with impeccable clarity.
Miller also used the panorama capture guidance and Auto Best Take functions, which were excellent for group photos and environmental shots. The Pixel 10 Pro can also use AI to fix images that were previously too blurry, and the Camera Coach feature can help photographers of any level take better and more beautiful shots.

The camera quality isn't the only aspect of the Google Pixel 10 Pro worth noting. Miller wrote that the device's battery ran out after capturing over 500 photos and videos, but thanks to Google's fast charging feature, he was able to continue snapping in no time. When we battery-tested 17 different phone models, the Pixel 10 Pro had 93% battery after 1 hour of our video playback test, 85% after 2 hours, and 77% after 3 hours. After 30 minutes of general usage, the Pixel 10 Pro still had 96% battery, which isn't too shabby.
