88% Google Pixel 10 Pro XL Smartphone Review: Gorgeous flagship that offers a great Android experience with one Achilles heel

Pixel-ated expectations. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL presents a familiar formula — incremental hardware refinements paired with new AI features that most users won't fully utilize. This year's Pixel 10 Pro XL gets the new Tensor G5 chip, Pixelsnap Qi 2.2 wireless charging, optional 480 Hz PWM setting, and a host of on‑device AI features atop Android 16. We see if these are enough differentiators from competing 2025 flagships for the $1,199 asking price.
