Google Pixel 10 review: the new benchmark for a standard flagship phone

Additional 5x telephoto camera, actually useful AI tools, Qi2 support and slick software make for a quality Android

Google's new cheapest Pixel 10 has been upgraded with more cameras, a faster chip and some quality software that has brought it out of the shadow of its pricier Pro siblings to set a new standard of what you should expect from a base-model flagship phone.

The regular Pixel 10 costs 799 (899/$799/A$1,349) - the same as last year's Pixel 9 - undercutting the 10 Pro by 200 and matching rivals from Samsung and Apple while offering more for your money.
