reveal the Pixel 10 series on Wednesday, yet nearly all details regarding the four new Pixel phones have surfaced in the months leading up to the event. A wave of last-minute Pixel 10 information emerged just in recent days, revealing the Pixel 10 pricing, some of the unique new AI camera capabilities, and hinting at quicker battery charging support. Additionally, a Reddit user evaluated a Pixel 10 Pro XL demo unit in a retail setting and conducted benchmark evaluations on it. The Geekbench 6 scores were not remarkable by 2025 standards, which isn’t a shock if you’re acquainted with the Pixel series. If precise, the Pixel 10 Pro XL will achieve scores similar to the iPhone 13 models that Apple launched in 2021.
This may appear to be disappointing news to shoppers looking to purchase a Pixel device for the first time or die-hard enthusiasts seeking the utmost performance for their next flagship smartphone. However, Google has consistently struggled to rival Apple’s iPhone in raw chip performance. Google’s proprietary Tensor chips for Pixel devices have also not surpassed Qualcomm counterparts. Nevertheless, Pixel phones provide swift experiences for the majority of tasks.
It’s probable that the Pixel 10 models will be quite efficient in everyday functions, even if they can’t outperform last year’s iPhones or this year’s competing premium Android devices. The Pixel 10 series is also expected to deliver an abundance of fast AI experiences, which is a focus for Google. The company should allocate substantial time to AI during Wednesday’s Pixel 10 launch event, as Gemini is a significant Google product on Pixel hardware.
