It’s hard to believe we are on the tenth generation of Pixel phones. Not only is it hard to believe because the OG Pixel launched nine years ago (seriously; I’m so old), but also because it’s so rare for Google to actually stick with any kind of product for that long. Regardless, here we are with the Google Pixel 10 series — and it might just be the company’s most important launch ever.

I had the opportunity to go hands-on with all the devices launched at the 2025 Made by Google event, but here I want to focus on the core products: the Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL — the three “slab” phones in the lineup. Despite how they appear, there is actually a ton of stuff to talk about with these devices, so let’s get right into it.
