Google Pixel 10 Pro XL delivers meaningful hardware upgrades including faster wired and wireless charging and a Tensor G5 chipset optimized for AI tasks. The Pro XL model features the largest battery on a Google phone. The Pixel launcher on Android 16 emphasizes a cleaner, less intrusive software experience compared with Samsung's OneUI, while enabling features like Magic Cue for context-driven actions. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra maintains its position as one of the top Android phones months after release, reflecting Samsung's integrated hardware and software approach. The best choice depends on prioritizing streamlined software and AI features versus an all-in flagship experience.
Also: Everything announced at Made by Google 2025: Pixel 10 Pro, Fold, Watch 4, and more With the Pixel, Google is making its most compelling case yet, introducing meaningful upgrades like faster wired and wireless charging, and a Tensor G5 chipset that's well optimized for the AI era. The new Pro XL model, in particular, sets the record for having the largest battery on a Google phone.
One of the biggest distinctions between the Google Pixel and just about every other Android model is the software experience. I wouldn't categorize the latest Pixel launcher (atop Android 16) as bare bones, but it's certainly less intrusive and feature-packed than Samsung's OneUI. There's a handful of customization tools for the home and lock screens, but don't expect to be able to tweak every little aspect of what's in front of you.
