Google Pixel 10

Technical specifications

The software is great and terrible at the same time. Clean Android, all animations and the whole experience is excellent, but ubiquitous bugs, whether it is freezing elements of the application or loss of signal for no reason, can be very frustrating. The battery is fine; when staying in a place with good signal where the phone does not have to switch between towers, it lasts the whole day with a significant margin. However, if the signal is weak or when traveling a long distance, it is definitely insufficient and sometimes fails to last until the end of the day without a charger. With very light use and while staying in one place, I personally managed to last 2,5 days on a single charge. The camera is a masterpiece. I have never had such a great camera in a phone before; no matter the frame or the conditions, the photos always come out sharp and simply very good. Overall, it is fine; if someone needs clean Android with fast updates and a good camera, does not require incredible performance, and is able to compromise on the battery, they will be truly satisfied. I definitely advise against it for everyone else. The only exception is the camera because it is excellent; theoretically Vivo X200 and X300 take much better photos, but the Pixel is simply predictable.

Google will reduce battery capacity in Pixel 10 models after only 200 cycles. And there is nothing that can be done about it. Such information can be found on the internet. This disqualifies this phone.

Another beautiful and truly refined Google device. After the great Pixel 9, Pixel 10 surprised me even more. The third camera is really great if you travel a lot, the battery is slightly larger than in the P9 with software that protects and extends its life. Of course, the information in the comment about the capacity decrease after 200 charging cycles is nonsense. The phone is prepared for 7 years of support, so such info probably comes from a user of the Apple brand. In summary, I will say this: I went through the path of many premium brands with Android, then I tried the iPhone praised by many, which turned out to be a device with too many limitations and chaotic software for me. When our whole family switched from the iPhone14 to the Pixel 9 last year, our feelings after a few days of use were similar: Google made a great device. After returning from vacation in Oman and the Emirates, developing the photos only confirmed that the Pixel 9 is great equipment. Today, after buying the Pixel 10, I have become an even bigger fan of Google's product.

Personal experiences - priceless, but commenting on other users' statements without verifying the facts. For your information, Dear User, before you start insulting users of other brands: Google confirmed that the Pixel 10 has a built-in Battery Health Assistance function without the possibility of turning it off. It aims to slow down battery wear by intentionally lowering the charging speed and voltage, which helps the cell maintain constant performance despite aging. After 200 charging cycles, the smartphone will automatically start gradually lowering the battery voltage until 1000 cycles. Lowering the voltage also reduces the usable battery capacity. After 1000 cycles, the battery capacity will drop to 80%, which is not such a bad result. The point is that Battery Health Assistance will cause practically an even greater drop in capacity. Before you start writing, it is worth using any search engine just in case and checking what you are writing about. (jf)

The features of the phone are obvious to everyone. For me, a positive aspect is the presence of a telephoto lens with decent macro capabilities - you can take a photo with it where an area of, say, two by two centimeters fills the entire frame. However, it is worth adding that in moderate artificial light (e.g., a desk lit by a lamp), the level of detail is quite low - less than I would have expected. The wide-angle camera is slightly lower in quality, and this is visible in poor lighting. In daylight, I did not notice any issues with any of the lenses. The battery performs very well: after charging to 80% and using it with power saving enabled, it lasted until the end of the second day and eventually showed slightly over 8 hours of screen-on time - I am fully satisfied with this result. Relatively fast charging requires a charger with PPS; not every charger has this. Using a standard PD charger, charging is very slow - I measured 18 W. With PPS, it should be 30 W. Despite the pleasant screen diagonal, the phone is quite heavy and thick, but one can get used to it. The screen is excellent, the system operation is smooth, the sound from the speakers even gives the impression of having some bass, it is good that PixelSnap is available (for use in the car), and 7 years of updates is the final positive feature. In summary: at the price including the refund (approximately 2500 zł), in my opinion, it is a great phone. I will have to test the camera more thoroughly because, initially, the amount of detail in ambient light is somewhat below expectations.

I am adding a correction to the previous review: only the main lens is characterized by good macro, and the camera app switches between lenses at unpredictable moments :) hence the low level of detail when photographing a close object at magnification - because the phone is actually using the main lens and digital zoom at that time. The telephoto lens, in turn, focuses at a distance of about 60 cm. What is quite strange - in conditions of poor lighting, the telephoto lens activates at a magnification of only around 7.5x even though it is normally 5x. I would prefer to have control over this (I do not see a suitable option in the settings), because it seems to me that the selection of "lenses" is suboptimal.

I have had the Pixel for almost 2 months, so I can already write something. Overall, it is a very good phone, and it is pleasant to use. I bought it at a very good price, so for that amount of money, it is fine. I believe that at a price of around 2000 zł, it is very satisfactory. It is more of a very solid mid range device than a flagship. Previously, I had a Samsung S24, so in comparison with it? Better battery (it lasts one day with my usage), the cameras are perhaps even better despite an average sensor. I believe that One UI is better than stock Android and offers more possibilities. The Pixel operates pleasantly, but in my opinion, the Samsung performs even better.

What they did with the camera compared to the 9 is a mockery. For a smartphone for 4000, they provided a camera like in a smartphone for 2000... Manufacturers are increasingly regressing technologically, disregarding customers and creating a regression compared to the predecessor... I do not know what motivated Google when implementing the camera from the Pixel 9a, but I am able to confidently state that I will take a better photo with the Galaxy S23 in all conditions. A negative for Google... Even the telephoto lens does not save the situation. It is average for a flagship price.

A very pleasant phone to use, although in terms of dimensions and weight, it is the maximum for me and I will not tolerate anything larger ;). The iPhone 17 Pro, which has the same dimensions and weight and which I used previously, seemed too large for me, but since I prefer Android, I settled on the Pixel 10. I was also tempted by the Samsung S25 because its dimensions are perfect and the specification is excellent, but I do not like that company very much. I also like that the camera island on the Pixel stabilizes the phone when it lies on its back.

Build quality - positive! Battery - positive! Display - satisfactory! Photos - definitely positive! System - stock Android. For me, there are some deficiencies compared to my beloved Motorola.. But for most people, it will be a positive feature. Price - negative :( But it is decreasing in price quickly ;) Of course, the charger is missing from the set.. Charging - negative :/ Summary: Everything is positive, except for the charging speed, probably 30W..

Nothing interesting regarding software. Poor charging, 30 W. The battery lasts half a day under some load, provided it was at 100% in the morning. The fingerprint reader does not work with just any glass. Uncomfortable placement of volume and power buttons. I would rather not recommend it ? I switched from the Samsung A55, and it does not impress me at all for several thousand. Only the appearance is a plus.
