Google raised the prices as expected but gave decent trade in values.

The ram is cut on the pros from 16 to 12. If you want the 16, you have to get a 512 gb storage one. Those are $1500. Yeah. No 1 tb if you need it. Got rid of the 128 gb option.

Also cut the free year of Gemini Pro to six months.

Google ditched Samsung for the antenna and replaced it with mediatek.

Just watched MB's quick review. he was underwhelmed. The so called notification glow was botched. You can only customize it for favorites when they call. Can't give texts a color, emails a color, etc.

If only there was a company called Blackberry that showed how to make a proper notification light.

Glad Verizon gave me a new 10 pro, then. I can wait until 2029, or Pixel 14 - easily.

The temp sensor was way more useful than a stupid glow light and it was very accurate if used properly. The light is stupid Google can't get out of its own way, so much potential yet they refuse to do what's needed to be elite. Phone needs more horsepower to do what they want you can only software so much before more juice is needed. Loved my pixel 10 pro XL until android 17 came and it ran hot all the time, the last update seemed to fix a little bit of it

Haven't had any of those issues since the Android 17 update. Works fine as it always has. Frankly, I can't figure out the difference between 16 and 17.

As for the notification lights, as I stated earlier, Blackberry gave you the road map, allowing you to customize different types of messages and calls with different colors. It was a very nice feature

I'm good with my 10 Pro so no worries here.

I came to pixel 10 pro XL from the two previous samsung ultras. I'm going back to Ultra for my next phone.

I'm coming from my pixel 8 pro xl. Best and longest lasting phone I've ever had. I went ahead and got my pre-order in for the 11 pro xl 16/512. Can't wait. I'll report back.

Just read Google has confirmed the new Tensor SOC is not the new TSMC 2nm process as was rumored. The SOC is using TSMC's 3nm process.

Yup. Unless you get Pro XL with 16gb and at least half a TB, it is a downgrade. Can't believe it blew it this badly.
