The Pixel 10 Pro lineup signifies significant transformations for Google, despite seeming similarities. A completely new processor devoid of Samsung, Qi2 magnets, and a multitude of new features stand out in this release, though an eSIM-only model for the U.S., certain performance issues, and ongoing accessibility problems with the display hinder the launch.
Pros:
– Pixelsnap’s Qi2 execution is outstanding
– Access to all the newest AI tools and applications from Google
– Most AI functionalities are handled on-device
– Excellent ecosystem for accessories (from both first and third parties)
– Gaming performance has notably improved compared to Pixel 6-9
Cons:
– eSIM-only model in the U.S.
– Mandatory battery throttling after 200 cycles
– Lacks support for the newest version of Vulkan
– Performance sometimes falls below half of Qualcomm’s
– PWM rate remains poor
