My 22 year old son loves this phone. He switched from an iPhone to this phone and he has no complaints so far. He is an IT guy and loves the freedom this phone gives him.
First of all, the camera and display are very impressive. The AI features built into the camera are simple to use, and make my photographs look professional. I can take pictures in the dark for work, and I am still able to read tiny labels from far away.
I like the smaller size Pixel Pro, compared to the Pixel XL's I've had in the past. Fits easier in the hand, more ergonomic. Less weight means more comfort. Smaller size means it fits better in pockets, stands, etc.
I'm also a big fan of the magnetic wireless charging capability. The USB port was always the failure point of every phone I've ever had. Now that's not a problem at all.
And the built-in speakers sound much better than previous Pixels. They even have a little bass, which is unusual for phone speakers.
I've had google pixels for years. It was time for an upgrade so I traded my 8 pro in for a 10 pro. I really couldn't tell a difference performance wise. The 10 pro is not as big as the 8 pro, and for me that's ok. One thing I noticed is all my apps i have on my screen are no longer colored, but black and white. I'm not sure if there is a new option in the phone that I've not located but it is what it is for now.
It constantly freezes and restarts. On top of that it won't connect to my watch. I wish I never switched from Samsung and will be going back as soon as possible!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
