I find it hard to believe that it’s been almost a year since I got my Pixel 10 Pro. Since August 28th, it has been my primary phone (almost) every day, and I adore this phone when it’s working as it should.

The problem, as is often the case with Pixels, is that it doesn’t always work as Google intended. Looking back, it’s been a year of ups and downs with the Pixel 10 Pro, but it’s still the only phone I want to call my own.

Even so, it’s a comfortable phone in all situations, and not once have I ever found myself wishing it were bigger. It sits in that sweet spot of being big enough to easily enjoy looking at photos, watching videos, and using any apps you’d like without giving me hand cramps.
