Google Pixel 10 – Unlocked Android Smartphone – Gemini AI Assistant, Advanced Triple Rear Camera, Fast-Charging 24+ Hour Battery, and 6.3″ Actua Display – Indigo – 128 GB (2025 Model)

Excellent quality
The good stuff:- great looks and feels great in your hand (excellent quality feel)- excellent screen- always fresh and in active development directly from original Android source- best camera on the marketNeutral:- speed is very slowly improving (if at all)- not many extras in the packaging (e.g., no wall power adapter)- I like bit smaller phones in general (Pixel 5 was an ideal size for me)- AI emphasized too much (and not used at all by me). Hopefully AI is not using any resources while supposedly idle.Don’t like:- Slow or troublesome START and RESTART, frequently having to keep pressing the START button for 20 secs or so. I had experience with Pixel 4, 5, 6a, and 7 and never had that experience (UPDATE: This seems to be no problem any longer after an update)- No instructions of any kind in the box, although it’s rather intuitive once you start the new phone- No physical SIM card slot for the US customers (only, so-called, eSIM from your service provider). A bit unnerving since my phones were usually successfully fixed or transferred to a different service in the past by changing of SIM cards — it will take a decade or so of trouble-free experience to forget about that small card- For some reason, turning off Bluetooth (for us who don’t use it very often) requires a post-doctoral degree (Bluetooth turns itself ON automatically after some time)Note: I use Google Fi service.

Seems like a good phone
So far, it is working great. I did not need a new phone – the old one was fine. But I got new hearing aids and there are some neat features on the aids that the old phone could not access.I’m working with the AI features on the new phone, and have had no problems with them so far. I was surprised how easy it was to clone the new phone from the old one, but there is still a lot of re-setup to do, and it’s boring. Changing phones is a chore.

Phone results
I am still trying to get used to it. I didn’t like the selection of music to pick from for ringtones. Clock ring do not like. Otherwise, the phone is pretty much great to use.

Brand new phone. HORRIBLE. Shipped with a bad driver. See my detailed review
I’ve been a long time user and lover of pixel phones. However, pixel 10 is a major disappointment. I like to have multiple tabs open when I’m shopping on my phone. Apparently, I can’t do that anymore because when I do, the phone gets laggy. And I don’t mean just a little bit. Bit. I mean it’s ridiculous. Like more than 30 seconds update a Web page. I am so frustrated because it is a known issue. They should have fixed this before they shipped the phones. The articles that I’ve read that document this do say that a fix is coming, but who knows when that fix is coming ? And in the meantime, I’m expected to reduce the number of tabs I have open, clear the cache, and restart the phone. That doesn’t fix it for very long. Because if then once again if you open too many tabs, and I don’t know how many is too many, it lags unbelievably long. Here’s the info from one article:Outdated driver: The Pixel 10 reportedly shipped with an older GPU driver (v24.3) from Imagination Technologies, which makes the new PowerVR graphics chip perform far below its potential.GPU clock speed: This outdated driver, combined with conservative power and thermal limits, appeared to cap the GPU’s clock speed at a very low frequency, limiting graphical performance.Upcoming fix: The manufacturer, Imagination Technologies, released a newer driver (v25.1) that improves performance. It is expected to arrive in a future Android update for the Pixel 10.” EXPECTED” ???????? THAT DOESN’T GIVE ME A WARM AND FUZZY FEELING
