It's a great phone with pure Android
on December 5, 2025
Posted by: mdk_k_3476
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Google phone really surprised me.
It comes with the Android operating system with the possibility of receiving future updates, it has fast Wi-Fi and data connectivity, the battery lasts a long time and charges super fast, and its 256 GB of storage provides plenty of space for files, and the camera is great.

Seriously Smart, But Not Perfect
on December 6, 2025
Posted by: tmancill_6482
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, so I’ve been messing around with the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, and honestly, it’s a beast. It's totally the best Android phone you can get right now if you care about smart features and, well, photos.
The camera is just insane. I swear, you can be totally lazy, point the thing at anything, and the photo that pops out looks professional. The colors are always spot-on, and the zoom is now actually usable, which is huge. Google’s AI magic is really what makes this phone special—it anticipates what you need and just makes things easier without you having to ask.
The screen is massive and looks incredible. It’s super bright, so even when I’m standing outside in Florida sun, I can see everything perfectly.
Where does it lose that fifth star? Mostly on the little things. That new Tensor G5 chip is awesome for all the AI stuff, but if you’re trying to run the newest, most graphically demanding games for a long time, it starts to get a little warm and lags a bit compared to the competition. The battery is fine—it gets me through the day no problem—but I wish it had that tank-like, multi day endurance that some of the big phones offer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave it to my mother in law and she absolutely loves it. She has told me the battery life has been amazing and she loves all of the features on her phone now. It’s a big upgrade from her old Samsung phone.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL Is a Gentle Giant With a Brill
on December 7, 2025
Posted by: ahardin9084_1268
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve spent the last few weeks with the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, and my impression can be summed up like this: it feels less like buying a phone and more like adopting a tiny, mildly opinionated robot that lives in your pocket. And I mean that in the best way possible.
This device doesn’t try to dazzle you with neon colors or aggressive curves. Instead, it looks like it was carved out of a single, cool slab of logic: clean lines, soft edges, and that signature Pixel “camera bar” that has somehow evolved into its final form. It’s big — yes, undeniably big — but it carries its size with the calm confidence of a phone that knows exactly why it exists.
The first moment I powered it on, the screen practically introduced itself. It’s the kind of display that tricks your brain into thinking you’re looking through a window instead of at a screen. Animations glide like they’ve been practicing all year; videos feel saturated but not cartoonish, and text looks as if each letter was handcrafted.
Google didn’t just try to improve image quality — they tried to make the camera know what you’re trying to capture before you even tap.
You point it at your pet → it prioritizes fur texture.
You point it at your dinner → suddenly the lighting feels like a Michelin kitchen.
You point it at the sky → it somehow finds colors you didn’t know were present.
What I love most is that the camera doesn’t demand perfect technique. You don’t need to backlight your subject like a photographer. You don’t need to stand still like a statue. You snap, it interprets, and the result is almost embarrassingly good.
Some phones brag about speed. The Pixel 10 Pro XL feels more like it wants to disappear — not literally, but in the sense that its performance becomes invisible. Nothing stutters. Nothing hesitates. It doesn’t scream “I’m powerful”; it simply never gets in the way.
Apps fly open, multitasking feels soft and liquid, and the AI features don’t feel like gimmicks this time — they feel like shortcuts your brain didn’t realize it wanted.
What sets the Pixel 10 Pro XL apart is how it uses AI without feeling like a tech demo.
It filters notifications intelligently, not aggressively.
It summarizes long emails like it too is tired of reading paragraphs.
It fixes photos in a way that respects the moment instead of reconstructing reality.
And the on-device smart replies feel eerily close to how you actually speak.
This isn’t AI as decoration — it’s AI as a personal assistant that finally learned your habits.

Solid build, long battery, speedy processor phone!
on December 8, 2025
Posted by: rstuedes_6070
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying that I've been an iPhone guy for awhile now. Back when the pixel first came out I had one and loved it. Getting the chance to put this side by side to the iPhone 17 was a great comparison. The software on the Pixel is blazing fast, it's very smooth and responsive. The battery life is really good, and has lasted a long time between charges. The camera is really good, I love how clear of pictures you can get with the really far zoom. I feel like compared to my other phone the photos seem a little bit more dull in color though. The phone feels solid and well built, which is something to worry about with the price of phones now days. The phone was slightly warm after setting up initially but wasn't bad afterwards. Overall, I am still not the biggest fan of Android and their AI updates but it has its uses for sure. Overall the Pixel is a pretty awesome phone with a lot of great features. If you are a fan of the Pixels this will be a great upgrade/new phone option!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery life's solid,easily gets me through a full day without freaking out about charging. What surprised me most is how premium it feels. Like, compared to the latest iPhones, this thing just feels super nice in the hand, really well built. The screen's awesome, bright,super smooth, and everything just runs fast. If I had to complain about something, the camera could be a bit better, it's good, just not mind-blowing. But overall, it's a great phone.

Amazing phone
on December 9, 2025
Posted by: boujeebearded_5395
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Google is ALWAYS such an underrated company when it comes to their pixel lineup and the Pixel 10 Pro XL is no exception. From a sleek modern design to a weight that leaves it feeling luxurious, the Pixel 10 Pro XL gives the iPhone a run for its money. Had this come before I upgraded my phone, this would be my daily driver. It’s responsive, quick, and the battery lasts forever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 4/5 stars.
I will start off by saying why I deducted some points. Let’s start off by saying the phone is noticeably heavier than the competing brand. Which doesn’t bother me. I noticed the battery drains a lot faster than I would have imagined. The battery also heats up and the phone is pretty warm while using. Based on those, that’s why I have it 4/5 stars. Now, I love the camera on this phone. Takes great photos. You might have to get use to the color grade but the front facing camera with 42 megapixels is also great. I haven’t had an issue with it yet. If you have been wanting a new software, this is great. Has updated features you can’t find on other phones. The setup was fast and easy. I love how this phone starts at 256GB. I love that the screen is OLED. It makes it crystal clear while watching videos and with 120Hz, I never had a refresh rate problem. So far this has been a great phone and I would honestly recommend it.
