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: Just 6 months after it's predecessor, Z80 Ultra brings better hardware and software making this a very good value camera-phone option. With lots of physical controls, new version of OS and more tweaking of the solid (it not imperfect) camera setup. The beautiful 144Hz notch-less screen has minimal bezels and ultrasonic fingerprint sensor but no LTPO or HDR10+ tech yet. Just like it's predecessor, Z80 Ultra is a great gaming phone too.
PROs
unique and quite likable design, great in-hamd feel for a big phone, good SD 8 Elite Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 performance, excellent >42hr endurance from a 7200mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 90W charging (80W wireless) and good battery longevity protection options, >1700nits bright >430ppi 144Hz AMOLED screen. IP69 protection, some great shots from a 50MP 35mm OIS PDAF main + 64MP 70mm OIS PDAF periscope telephoto + 50MP 18mm PDAF ultrawide back camera setup, very good video recording, fast USB-C 3.2 port with OTG, additional camera kit
CONs
230g heavy, gets hot, mediocre selfie imaging, no SDmemory slot, short OS update promise, no video out or desktop replacement functionality
