Google’s Pixel 10 series has inspired various views from me and my colleagues, even weeks before its official launch. There’s little doubt that the company smashed the copy-paste shortcut when designing the Pixel 9 line successor, and for some, this similar aesthetic just isn’t good enough. However, you’ll notice a few standout additions and improvements if you peer deeper into the Pixel 10 trio’s specs sheets and feature files.

Some include the rollout of the Tensor G5 SoC, the addition of the Pixelsnap magnetic accessory system with Qi 2 and MagSafe support, and the marginally larger batteries across the board. But, given there are three devices to choose from, which is the better choice? Well, I’ve made my mind up, and if you’re struggling to make a choice, I’m here to help you.

Google has continued its triple threat handset approach, with the Pixel 10 serving the entry-level flagship buyer, the Pixel 10 Pro appealing to those craving a meatier option in a smaller form factor, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL, the phone that lives up to that moniker. Fundamentally, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro share the same chassis, but they’ve spent their skill points in slightly different ways. The Pro has a denser, brighter screen, more RAM, and more impressive ultrawide and telephoto cameras. The basic Pixel 10, however, beats its Pro sibling in the battery capacity stakes.

The top-end model, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, is the most accomplished of the three phones across several metrics. It’s the most expensive, packs the largest battery with the fastest wired and wireless charging speeds, and has the largest display. However, it also shares many technical details with its smaller Pro sibling. This includes common wireless technologies, like Thread, UWB, and Wi-Fi 7 support, and the same camera hardware front and rear. I’m barely scratching the surface here, so please have a look at the specs table below for a more detailed analysis of the differences between the three Pixel 10 models.
