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.

Google is set to launch the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro smartphones this week. It's a chance to build on the success of the Pixel 9 family and shape the smartphone future.

That said, it looks like the complete magnetic charging experience is reserved for Google's large-screen flagship, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, making the rest of the Pixel 10 lineup feel like a compromise. One of the highlighting features of the new Pixel 10 series is the addition of magnets to the back of the phone (finally).
