Google Pixel 10 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Google Pixel 10 Pro - a flagship without performance

The American company Google does not deviate from the chosen path in the smartphone market, which, on the one hand, causes respect, and on the other - bewilderment. The disadvantages of the devices are actually passed on between generations, and sometimes the shortcomings even worsen. And the hero of today's review clearly demonstrates this situation

The appearance of the new product continues the concept of the exterior of its predecessors. The camera block, case colors, the combination of a glass back panel and a metal frame look extremely interesting. All this is complemented by full protection against dust and moisture according to IP68 standards. But the display frames are wide compared to opponents, and the eye of the 42-megapixel selfie camera could be smaller. The 6.3-inch AMOLED screen is quite good. There is also decent clarity of content at a resolution of 2856 x 1280 pixels, and excellent smoothness of the picture at a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The color rendering realism is in place, the brightness of 3000 nits is generally enough for staying with a mobile assistant in direct sunlight. But the PWM effect has not disappeared, people sensitive to it will be disappointed.

The technical characteristics presented by the proprietary Tensor G5 CPU, 16 GB of RAM and the Mali-G715 MC7 video core will not cause a sea of positive emotions. The result of 1,400,000 points in the AnTuTu test is unlikely to cause wild delight among gamers against the background of solutions from MediaTek and Qualcomm. Resource-intensive games work at medium-high graphic presets, throttling may appear after a few hours, but in non-critical values. Autonomy does not break records. The 4970 mAh battery will provide a little more than a day of phone operation. The charging power is still ridiculous. Only 29W in the wired version, 21W in the wireless one. You will have to stay near the outlet or charging unit for a long time. The permanent memory can be 128/256/512/1024 GB.

But there are almost no questions about the photographic capabilities. The main 50-megapixel sensor from Samsung and the periscope telephoto lens with a five-fold optical zoom of 48 megapixels received hybrid stabilization and are ready to please with clear, highly detailed shots and videos, regardless of the dynamics of events or the degree of their illumination. The wide-angle 48-megapixel lens is a little simpler, but still copes with complex shooting scenarios. There is no visible savings on the stereo speakers. The sound is loud, voluminous, rich. Of course, the technological device has acquired support for 5G and eSIM, contactless payments NFC. Thus, we have before us an expensive, low-performance for the segment, but still interesting gadget with a number of competitive advantages.
