EDITORIAL: Pixel 10 Pro brings a new Tensor chip produced by TSMC's 3nm manufacturing process. The screen is slightly brighter and battery (still old, Lithium tech) is just 170nAh larger. Android 16 brings in the 1st gen of build-in desktop replacement functionality to Pixel Pro phones. All cameras are the same as on 9 Pro but have some new AI tricks and the tele lens can focus closer. Qi2 wireless charging adds a cool touch.
PROs
one-hand flagship grade hardware, 2200nits super-bright 495ppi sharp LTPO OLED screen with HDR10+, IP68 protection, reliable 50MP OIS main + 48MP OIS periscope telephoto + 48MP ultrawide (all PDAF) camera performance, excellent 42MP PDAF selfie, good (but not class-leading) video recording, 7 years of OS update promise, new desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.2 port, Satellite SOS Service
CONs
midrange chip Tensor G5 with UFS 4.0 (3.1 on the 128GB version) performance, only 24hr endurance with 88min slow 30W wired charging (15W wireless) of old-tech Li 4870mAh battery, sub-500Hz PWM screen dimming rate will cause headaches for some users, same camera hardware as on 9 Pro, no SDmemory expansion

EDITORIAL: Continuing pattern of minimal innovation, Pixel 11 XL comes with a new 5-color LED (partial) notification light, new 3nm Tensor G6 chip and a marginally improved imaging setup. Battery is smaller (!) then last year with same charging setup.
PROs
flagship build with a new RGB back indicator showing calls and Gemini notifications (but not much else), 2300nits bright 480ppi 120Hz LTPO OLED screen with HDR10+, IP68 protection, very good 50MP 25mm 48MP 106mm 48MP 12mm ultrawide (all PDAF) setup, excellent (in daylight) 42MP 18mm PDAF selfie, good video recording, feature packed OS with a 7 years of updates promise, basic desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.2 port, Satellite SOS Service
CONs
mediocre Tensor G6 (3nm) with UFS 4.0 performance will not support every game, sub-30hr endurance from a 5100mAh old-tech lithium battery with 60min 45W (25W wireless) charging, no SD memory slot, limited market availability, $1,300 expensive at lounch
