The Pixel 10 Pro XL is finally official and it's better than the key competition from Samsung and Apple, as well as the smaller Pixel 10 Pro, in these two key ways.

From $799 to $1,549, Google's Pixel 10 lineup has options for just about every budget. Which one is right for you? I got a chance to check the phones out ahead of their August 28 release and have some early buying advice.

If you prioritize a larger screen and enhanced color depth, the Galaxy S25 Ultra offers a slight edge. However, the Pixel 10 Pro XL provides a similarly premium visual experience in a slightly more compact form factor, making it a great choice for users who prefer portability without compromising on quality.
