Last year, I thought Google’s Pixel 9 was a perfectly fine Android phone saddled with a bunch of AI features that ranged from “sorta neat to try once” to “actively pointless.” I had a similar experience with the Google Pixel 10.
The base model of Google’s latest flagship, to its credit, does offer a couple of much-needed hardware improvements, namely a larger battery and a telephoto zoom lens on the phone’s rear camera array. But for at least the second year in a row, Google has largely focused on AI features.
Google Pixel 10 will do just fine if you’re in need of a solid Android handset that takes nice photos and can give you a full day of use out of a single charge. And if you’re excited about new AI smartphone features, this phone has a few notable ones. Beyond that, it’s hard to get too excited about new phones in the era of incremental improvements.
