I’ve used other Android phones that are better than my Pixel in many ways, but each time I do, the same thing happens: I count down the time until I can put my SIM card back into Google’s phone. Simply put, the Pixel 10 Pro has ruined all other Android phones for me.

Do you love the Pixel 10 Pro as much as I do?

I’ve used more exciting phones

Over the last few months, I’ve used some incredible phones. I loved using the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but that honeymoon period quickly wore off, and I missed my Pixel. Then there’s the Galaxy S26 Ultra, a phone that, on paper, is far better than my Pixel. There’s also the 2026 Razr lineup, which is so good I think it should kick Samsung back into gear.

All of those phones are better than my Pixel 10 Pro in some way. The S26 Ultra has a larger battery, faster charging, and a more flexible camera system. The Razr Ultra, like the S26 Ultra, has a bigger battery and a superior chip to the Tensor G5, with the added excitement of being a flip phone.

With all of that in mind, my Pixel should be sitting in my desk drawer while I use one of these phones instead — but that’s not the case.

Greater than the sum of its parts

The Pixel 10 Pro doesn’t need a Snapdragon chip. I’ve never been a mobile gamer; I don’t need to max out the graphics settings in Genshin Impact or run a benchmarking app for multiple runs to earn clout on Twitter. If the chip in my phone can make the everyday experience smooth and power the tasks I use my phone for, I’m happy.

The Pixel 10 Pro does those things. What do I do with my phone? Email, messaging, music streaming, taking a worrying amount of photos of my cat (cat tax below), and playing KOTOR — a game so old my watch could run it. The Pixel 10 Pro can do all of these things without breaking a sweat.
