Google Ships Pixel 10 Pro XL for Review, Starting at €1,299
Dublin, Ireland – Google has begun distributing the Pixel 10 Pro XL to reviewers, signaling an imminent, deeper dive into the tech giant’s latest flagship smartphone. The device, running Google’s version of Android 16, aims to build on the Pixel line’s reputation for unique software experiences and computational photography, but faces stiff competition in a crowded premium smartphone market.
The Pixel has historically been a polarizing device, inspiring strong reactions from users-either fervent loyalty or outright dismissal. This year’s Pro XL model attempts to broaden its appeal with refined hardware and a focus on user experience. available in five colors – Moonstone, Jade, Porcelain, Obsidian – and with storage options of 256GB or 512GB, the phone is priced at €1,299 and €1,429 respectively.
Google has retained the triple camera system from previous iterations, acknowledging the challenge of standing out in a highly competitive camera landscape. While camera specs remain unchanged, the company hopes its signature image processing will deliver compelling results. Initial impressions highlight the phone’s fluid software,polished haptic engine,and a more curved design compared to competitors.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL ships with a single USB-C cable. A review of the standard Pixel 10 recently described it as “somewhat pedestrian,” raising the stakes for the Pro XL to demonstrate meaningful improvements. A full review is forthcoming.
