The Pixel 10 Pro offers good build quality, high-end hardware, a powerful camera system, and access to Google&#8217;s latest Gemini AI innovations, including a few exclusive features. Also, the handset runs the latest Android release as soon as Google releases it. On top of that, Google guarantees the handset will receive seven years of Android OS and security updates beyond the Android 16 OS it comes preloaded with. However, the\u00a0Pixel 10 Pro starts at $999 for the version that features 16 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Buyers on a tighter budget can consider other premium and flagship Android handsets that may offer the same or better experience as the Pixel 10 Pro and save money in the process.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there is one key hardware detail that Android buyers may care about when looking for a high-end device, and that&#8217;s the processor. The seven-year software guarantee sounds good on paper, but there&#8217;s no telling how well a device will run an Android version of the future if it doesn&#8217;t have a processor powerful enough to run future Android releases smoothly. The Pixel 10 Pro features Google&#8217;s Tensor G5 chip, which scores 2,182 (single-core) and 5,643 (multi-core) points in Geekbench 6 benchmarks, significantly below the scores of other high-end Android phones that are more affordable than Google&#8217;s Pro handset. Another aspect to consider is the amount of storage that comes with the $999 version:\u00a0128 GB of flash memory.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Google Pixel 10<\/h2>\n<p>      &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2194441\/google-pixel-10-pro-cheaper-android-phones-alternatives\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Cheaper Android Phones You Should Try Instead Of The Google Pixel 10 Pro https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2194441\/google-pixel-10-pro-cheaper-android-phones-alternatives\/&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":276788,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/5-cheaper-android-phones-you-should-try-instead-of-the-google-pixel-10-pro\/l-intro-1781542798.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,72,57,61],"class_list":["post-276787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-pixel","tag-security","tag-security-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276787"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276787"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276787\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":276789,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276787\/revisions\/276789"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
