What Reviewers Agree On

The display is excellent with up to 3,000 nits peak brightness, making it one of the best screens at this price point
Qi2 PixelSnap magnetic charging is a genuinely useful addition that opens up a rich accessory ecosystem
The Tensor G5 on TSMC 3nm delivers better thermals and efficiency than the Samsung-fabbed Tensor G4
Camera quality remains a top-tier strength for still photography, particularly in computational processing and low light
Android 16 with Gemini AI integration provides the cleanest, most thoughtful Android experience available

Deal Breakers

128GB base storage at $799 is considered inadequate for a 2025 flagship by most reviewers
GPU performance still trails Snapdragon 8 Elite significantly, making it unsuitable for demanding mobile gaming

Detailed Comparison

Camera

Google Pixel 10

The Pixel 10 gains a 5x telephoto zoom for the first time on the standard model, with computational photography remaining class-leading. However, the main sensor swap from the Pixel 9 has drawn some criticism.

Google has done a great job tuning the cameras on this less-expensive Pixel, to the point where it takes photos that look remarkably like images captured with the Pixel 10 Pro XL
The addition of 5x telephoto zoom to the standard Pixel is a significant upgrade that closes the gap with the Pro models for most photography scenarios
If you had a Pixel 9 and upgraded to a Pixel 10, you are sacrificing some camera quality to get the rest of the upgrades — Google swapped in the 9a sensor for the main camera
AI-powered features produce final edited images in under 20 seconds, and computational photography keeps low-light results among the best in any smartphone

OnePlus 13

A major step up for OnePlus cameras, though still not quite matching Apple and Samsung's best.

The Hasselblad color science produces natural, film-like images that many will prefer over Samsung's punchy processing.

Performance

Google Pixel 10

The Tensor G5 on TSMC 3nm delivers improved CPU efficiency and better thermals, but GeekBench scores still trail Samsung and Apple competitors, and GPU performance remains a weak point.

The Tensor G5 promises a 34% faster CPU and 60% faster TPU for AI tasks, with significantly improved thermals thanks to TSMC's 3nm fabrication replacing Samsung's process
While GeekBench scores are much improved over last year's Tensor G4, they still trail the results of the Galaxy S25 and iPhone 16 in raw benchmarks
The Mali GPU has been replaced with a PowerVR one, but GPU performance remains roughly half of what Snapdragon 8 Elite delivers — not a gaming phone
Despite the lackluster benchmark scores, real-world performance is smooth and responsive for everyday tasks, with AI processing completing quickly

OnePlus 13

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is the fastest mobile chip available, and OnePlus has tuned it well.

This is the fastest Android phone you can buy right now — everything from app launches to gaming feels instantaneous.
Thermal management is impressive — sustained performance during long gaming sessions stays consistent.
