Our expert view

The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is the most complete model in the line-up. Next to the Pixel 10 Pro, it brings a bigger display, a larger battery (+330 mAh) and a 42 MP front camera instead of 10.5 MP, which makes it the go-to choice for anyone who values endurance and content capture. Against the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Pixel stands out for its useful AI and 7-year updates, even though the Galaxy keeps the edge in stylus and expanded storage options. Versus the iPhone 16 Pro Max, the Pixel offers more telephoto resolution (5× optical and up to 100× digital), a bigger battery and Qi2 wireless charging, although Apple provides a more robust ecosystem and an even stronger processor for raw tasks. All in all, the Pixel 10 Pro XL sits as one of the most balanced and long-lasting phones for those after professional photography, a great screen and extended battery life.
