Pixel 10 Reviews Spotlight Tensor G5 Gains, On‑Device AI and Flagship Pricing

Reviews emphasize sustained gains from the Tensor G5, leaving Pixelsnap charging as the big unknown.

Overview

  • Google positions the Pixel 10 lineup as true flagships in India with official prices at ₹79,999 for Pixel 10, ₹1,09,999 for Pixel 10 Pro and ₹1,24,999 for Pixel 10 Pro XL.
  • Reviewers report improved thermals and steadier performance from the new Tensor G5, with Google claiming up to 34% faster CPU and a TPU about 60% quicker for on‑device AI.
  • Camera strategies diverge by model: the base Pixel 10 adds a 5x telephoto but steps down its main and ultra‑wide sensors, while the Pro phones use larger sensors and enable Pro Res Zoom up to 100x.
  • Charging remains conservative for the class, with Pixel 10 Pro at 30W wired/15W Pixelsnap wireless and Pro XL at 45W wired/25W Qi2 Pixelsnap, and real‑world magnetic charging unassessed because no Qi2 chargers were supplied to reviewers.
  • Battery findings vary, with early testing citing roughly nine hours of screen time on the Pro XL and about six hours on the Pro, and benchmarks indicating the phones are fast but not the outright quickest versus top rivals.
