   T-Moble: Migrate your SIM card to the eSIM

   For the U.S. version of all Pixel 10 phones, there is no SIM card slot — you must activate an eSIM.

   I was able to switch from my old Pixel 6 Pro (on T-Mobile) to a new Pixel 10 Pro XL without going to a T-Mobile store. Here’s what I learned:

   1) Both phones should have at least 50% charge. Good to also have your old phone’s files backed up on Google/Android (System > Backup).

   2) Log into T-Mobile’s website and make sure your old phone has its SIM card unlocked! (Required to move to the eSIM on the U.S. Pixel 10 phones.)

   3) While on T-Mobile’s website, go to:
   Tutorials > Google > Pixel 10 > eSIM > How to swap SIMs from an old device to a new device
   (T-Mobile also has instructions for migrating to a Pixel 10 from other android phones that are using T-Mobile.)

   4) Follow the instructions step by step. (I selected a full copy of everything, and it took about 40 minutes.) TIP: even if you start the migration using Wi-Fi, you can link the old and new phones with a USB-C cable for faster file transfer.

   For me, I forgot to unlock the SIM on my old phone, so Android’s transfer software caught that and I then unlocked the SIM card via T-Moble’s website — but that may have caused problems downstream.

   For me, the transfer hung around 94% complete and showed that Text Messages weren’t transferred. So I eventually gave up. An hour or two later T-Mobile magically activated the eSIM on the new phone and deactivated the old SIM card — and all of my Text messages + Text photos (SMS and MMS) arrived on the new phone.
   —————-
   As for the Pixel 10 Pro XL, I’m not crazy about the rounded corners or all the “AI-knows-best”, but Settings gives you great control of your phone and it’s a nice improvement over my old Pixel 6 Pro. Read the reviews to find out if Pixel 10 is something for you.

   Camera oddity: yes, it’s a 48 megapixel main camera sensor, but the photos you get are only 12 megapixel. That’s because the software combines multiple pixels to improve images and handle low light. Currently, only the Pixel 10 Pro XL allows you to skip the image enhancement and get all 48 megapixels in a photo. So that’s the tradeoff: lots of pixels from a very small sensor, or improved latitude + noise and better night vision. I’m into photography, so personally I’ll probably go for beautiful 12 megapixel RAW images, then upscale in post if I need it.

   Amazing Phone!

   The Pixel 10 Pro is sleek, fast, and feels premium in hand. The display is vibrant, the cameras take stunning photos, and battery life easily lasts all day. Android 16 is smooth, and I love the extra features like AI camera enhancements. Highly recommend!

   My First Week with the Pixel 10 Pro: It's Scarily Smart

   Alright, so I’ve had the new Pixel 10 Pro for about a week now, and I’ve finally gathered my thoughts. Let me just say, this thing feels less like a phone and more like some gadget from a sci-fi movie.
   First off, taking it out of the box, it just feels premium. It has a nice weight to it—not too heavy, but it feels solid and well-built. The matte finish on the back is a lifesaver for someone like me who hates fingerprints. The screen is the real star, though. It’s a big 6.7-inch display, and everything just looks incredible on it. Scrolling is buttery smooth, and watching videos is a treat. It’s super bright too, so I had no trouble seeing it outside, even in the afternoon sun.
   But let’s be real, you buy a Pixel for the camera, and this one is just insane. I took it out over the weekend, and I’m blown away. The main camera takes ridiculously sharp and colorful photos without you having to do anything. But the feature I can’t stop playing with is the “Pro Res Zoom.” I was at a park and saw a cool bird way up in a tree. Normally, that would just be a blurry mess on my old phone. With this, I zoomed all the way in, and the photo is actually sharp enough to see the details on its feathers. It feels like magic.
   Google’s AI stuff is all over this phone. They have this new feature called “Magic Cue” that tries to guess what you need. At first, it was a little weird, but now I’m getting used to it. Like, when I was heading to a meeting, it popped up a notification with the address and traffic info without me even asking. Another fun one is “Nano Banana”—silly name, I know—but it’s this cool photo effect tool that lets you create some really artistic shots. Some of the results are a bit out there, but it’s genuinely fun to mess around with.
   Performance-wise, it’s a beast. The new Tensor G5 chip makes everything feel instant. Apps open right away, and I haven’t seen a single stutter, even when I’m jumping between a bunch of different apps. The battery life has been solid too. I’m a pretty heavy user—lots of photos, social media, and some videos—and I’ve been easily getting through a full day with some juice to spare.
   So, is it worth it? It’s definitely not cheap, but if you’re someone who loves taking pictures and wants a phone that feels like it’s one step ahead of you, I’d say absolutely. The Pixel 10 Pro isn’t just a phone with a great camera; it’s a genuinely smart device that makes everyday tasks a little bit easier and a lot more fun. I’m still discovering new things it can do, and I’m honestly excited to see what else I find

   I upgraded from the base Pixel 8 version.

   I’m a fan of the base Pixel phones, and this time I went with the Pro version – I didn’t miss a beat.

   The phone feels very premium, and its performance for day-to-day tasks is lightning fast.

   I upgraded from the base Pixel 8 version. Someone might say it isn’t a drastic improvement, and they might be right, but I still very much like the upgrade. It brings all the great Google services with the addition of the AI assistant, making them even better. Yes, I’m biased, but I’m thoroughly enjoying using the phone.

   Tremendous upgrade from my Pixel7 Pro Plus

   Upgraded from a Pixel Pro Plus. I had no desire to upgrade my phone because I figured not a whole lot has changed with the flagships, but my old phone was getting extremely glitchy (and it has a VERY hard three years of life travelling in my pocket) so I bit the bullet. I initially got Pixel 9a which was comparable to my 7 Pro Plus, except the camera zoom was not sufficient for my needs, so I returned it and got this 10 Pro. Holy moly, this thing is incredible. As I said, I didn’t think there would be much differencene between this and my 7 Pro Plus, but I was wrong. This thing is so snappy, so smooth, the screen is incredible, and the camera is fantastic. It’s a joy to use, and I don’t even like phones or screens in general (I try to spend as much time as possible outside and away from the world of screens). Got it for $799 on sale from Amazon, 100% worth it. Love the color and how parts of the phone are visible through the Otter Box case. Amazing work by Google and I look forward to their future flagships.

   My favorite Phone! Just need a sims tray!

   I’ll start off by saying I wasn’t planning on getting this phone at all. I’ve never owned a pixel before. But the moment I saw the reviews coming in about this phone and it’s amazing features. They got me. And the fact that the prime sale had this phone marked down even more. The universe was telling me to get this phone. So I did and I couldn’t be happier.

   To start they were right about the brightness of the screen. If you are out in the sun this phone will over power the suns light. If you don’t have auto brightness on when you go to bed. I wish you luck for that flash bang that you are about to experience.

   One thing I wish I did was get the smaller pro. I have the XL and I feel like it’s too big for my hands. Like it fits and I can hold it, but I’m a fan of skinny or tiny phones. This phone fits in my pockets. But from how big it is. You will know the moment your phone goes missing.

   Sounds quality is pretty good and they let you use spiral sound. And I know I’ve heard people complaining about the battery but I can make it through 2-3 days of use before needed to recharge. And that’s without the battery saving mode. I use my phone alot but I don’t play games on it very often. But when I do it doesn’t get hot like my old phone would to the moment I booted up the same game. My hands would start burning.

   I also love the features this phone has. The voice callinf assistance that will answer spam calls for you or strange numbers to see if they are real or spam. Let the phone make notes during your important calls so you don’t forget what the other person told you. The auto 911 calling feature if you get into a crash the phone will call the police and let you know that you need help without your having to say a word. This phone is packed to the brim with amazing features and I love it.

   They also give you free access to their VPN and YouTube premium for 3 months. Amazing value for the money.

   And last but not least the camera quality is fantastic. I be taking pictures of everything and everything comes out crystal clear. 50mp, HDR, high resolution pictures.

   My only cons are. Please bring back the physical sims tray and expandable memory. This phone like them all nowadays comes with no charging brick or headphone jack. And if you use the IR blaster you won’t find it here. I don’t use it but wanted to warn others incase you do.

   It's a pixel and that is good

   The photo quality is surely improved over the Pixel 7 Pro, where I came from, especially the selfie camera. Furthermore, the build quality is hugely better. Best of all, the fingerprint sensor is finally working reliably.

   ​Since I don’t play games at all, this is the perfect phone for my needs. Just watch the deals, as the regular price is rather high.
