The Google Pixel 10 series has a lot going for it, but the Android Authority team still has mixed opinions on its battery life. The smaller handsets seem to take us through a day without issue, but some of us are having a more stressful time trying to make it to the end of the day with the XL. What the team can agree on is that the phones are not always as consistent as we’d like.
To get to the bottom of why we have such mixed feelings about this year’s models, I grabbed the Pixel 10 Pro XL, last year’s 9 Pro XL, and a Galaxy S25 Ultra and peeked inside their secretive software battery power consumption data.
