Anyone planning on getting a Pixel 10?

[spdfreak]

My P6 is still chugging along fine and especially with the updates has some of the newer features like the photo editing. I love the call screening and transcribing. I'm wondering if I would notice a OMG difference between it and a 10.

Current Pixel 7 Pro is doing fine.

Especially as Google refuses to upgrade their optical sensors for all these years while all the Chinese makers run through them in camera quality.

I ordered mine last night since they sent me a 100.00 coupon and 250 trade in. Total was 500 and has a 100 google credit. Really good deal.

I have my eye on the Pixel 10 Pro 512GB but it's difficult to justify $1,219 less around $350 trade-in. If my Pixel 8 was 512GB I might hold off until Pixel 12 or 13.

Waiting for Black Friday/CM deals with hopefully increased TIV.

I switched my order to a 10 pro since I read that the 10 basically had the 9a cameras. I don't need any storage above the 128 since I don't really take many videos and then I delete them off my phone and just leave them on one drive or google if I want to keep them. It's almost a free upgrade since you also get 200.00 google store credit and 1 yr of google one for free.

Main & ultrawide are the same sensors as 9a, but the big difference is the added 5× telephoto, First time on a non-Pro Pixel. For $200 store credit plus free Google One, it’s a solid swap.

Seen something in google feed about the P10 batteries are designed for only 200 cycles. It may have been XDA Developers. Was early morning and running late.

That's obviously a mistake or the phone would only be good for less than a year... Google would never release a phone like that or they would never sell another device again.

I agree, I will see if I can find the article. I thought it was insane when I read it. Because my trusty Moto Edge+ is starting to wear out. circa 2021 IIRC.
Love my Moto phones, wife recently grabbed a Pixel 9. So that got me thinking about a 10.

Here is 3 day link.

The Pixel 10 battery is basically programmed to tap out after 200 cycles

Google’s Pixel 10 has a locked-in Battery Health Assistance feature that purposely slows charging and caps capacity to manage battery wear.

Been using it for a day so far and love it. The camera alone is worth the money. Here is a picture of the azaleas in front of my house from the road- about 100ft. 50x zoom, 15mp setting, not the full 50mp.The google assistant that answers calls is also a great feature. It filters out 90% of the spam. The speakers are much better than on my 6.

Don't think it's worth switching from my s25 ultra and giving up the battery life I'm currently getting. I used to own all the pixel phones and swapped over to Samsung after the 6 pro.

The camera is the only reason I would want to go back again but not at the cost of battery and just have an odd feeling of the value I'm getting paying almost as much as I paid for the s25 ultra for mid range specs. If the 10 pro XL was priced at $899 I'd be more inclined.

I agree that it would be a sideways trade. The AI integration that google has done is pretty cool, though. I get 2 full days on a full charge. The battery is not an issue. Comparing a P6 to the 10 is not really a valid comparison...

I'm comparing the 10 pro XL to my s25 ultra seeing how it's priced similarly, at least the 512gb version since that's what I have now.

On the Samsung I get about 5hrs screen on time, mostly mix of 5g and wifi. 22hrs screen off/idle and the phone is at 55% at this point. This is with everything on, Bluetooth, wifi, nfc, always on display. I could never achieve this with any of the Pixels I owned.

So it does suck I had to give up the ease of taking in motion pics for this but I'll probably go back to pixel when my wife and I have a kid as I won't be wanting to deal with any irregularities you get with Samsung when not taking still pics.

All I want is big screen, good battery and camera. This should be Google but hoping they get it perfect one day.

Make it £300 UKP and I'll consider it.

My point is that you can't compare previous pixels with the 10. It is a whole new phone- battery, chip, screen, modem, etc. I get 2 full days of light-med usage on this 10 pro. I think the much better modem and wi-fi make a huge difference compared to my 6. Pixel's AI integration is really good too. The call screening and transcription alone is worth it to me.

I was happy with my P6 with all the recent updates but it was doing some strange stuff like not waking up when I tapped the screen and the speakers were not working very well. I got 100 discount, 250 trade-in, 200 google store credit and 1 yr of Gemini for free. Next year the P6 will probably be worth 100 if anything so I pulled the trigger. It's a nice phone but not life-changing, lol.
