The new Pixels are here, and, to be frank, they’re a bit of a mixed bag in terms of upgrades. Perhaps one of the most significant changes to last year’s formula is that the Google Pixel 10 now features a third camera, bringing longer-range zoom capabilities to Google’s more affordable model and bringing it closer to the best camera phones.
For the same $799 price tag as last year, the Pixel 10 has become much more appealing to the series’ photography fans. But is there still a good reason to grab the Pixel 10 Pro or XL if you’re an avid photographer — well, yes, but like most things, it depends on what you need.

So, what do you get with the Pixel 10 vs Pixel 10 Pro? Well, the entry-level and pro models look pretty similar at a quick glance. Both offer triple cameras, but there are some significant differences when you peer closer at the sensors.
The regular Pixel 10 comes with a 48MP main sensor and a 10.5MP ultrawide, which appears to be a downgrade from last year’s 50MP and 48MP setup. Meanwhile, the Pro and Pro XL have a 50MP and 48MP combo as before.
