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: Top of some of the “Best Android Phone” lists, the S24+ is a lovely package that delivers so much flagship here. Samsung’s strategy of saving “the Best” title for their Ultra phone takes some excitement out of the S24+. It’s a shame as this is actually Samsung’s “top phone without a stylus”. Excellent screen, 7 year OS update policy and the full featured Desktop replacement software make the S24+ a much better phone than it appears. It only it’s battery was better…

PROs
great build, still fast SD 8 Gen 3 performance, exceptional >500ppi and >1400nits LTPO AMOLED screen, excellent daylight photos and videos from every lens (50MP main & 10MP tele have OIS PDAF, 12MP selfie with PDAF and a 12MP ultrawide with no OIS nor PDAF) – the low-light photos can sometimes be inconsistent, long OS update promise and DeX too
CONs
Samsung’s lack of innovation and drive – similar design year over year, years of the same IP68, a long tradition of sub 4900mAh batteries with 45W charging, removal of SDmemory option (updated Apr 16, 2025)
