Like its siblings, the Google Pixel 10, this smartphone is quite deceptive. It is similar to the previous Pixel 9 in some ways, but it actually offers fewer features while introducing new ones at the same time. What’s most interesting, however, is that despite being very similar in certain departments, the Pixel 10 is actually remarkably different.
We’ll go over the reasons why we think the Pixel 10 is so much more than just its unassuming exterior in this review. Take advantage of the Google Pixel 10’s up to 256GB of storage.

In fact, the only thing that has changed is that the camera bar on the back is a little bit thicker. The Pixel 10 weighs 6 grams more than the Pixel 9, despite their similar design. This extra weight will probably feel good in your hand if you like your phone to have a little bit of weight to it. It might take some getting used to for those who prefer a lighter phone.
