The Pixel 10 series, save for the base model, is largely an incremental upgrade, with Google draping the familiar design in new colors. If you are coming from a Pixel 9 series, there’s little conviction to upgrade to the newer models, unless you absolutely cannot live without the new Pixelsnap accessories or the slightly improved Tensor G5. But what if you have an older Pixel 8 series phone?
Then, the Pixel 10’s newer design can be alluring, while the new telephoto on the vanilla Pixel 10 could compel you even more. But will it be worth it? And more importantly, will it truly feel like an upgrade beyond what Google is marketing it to be? To answer these questions, I’m weighing whether you should be upgrading to the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, or Pixel 10 Pro XL from a Pixel 8 or a Pixel 8 Pro.
