Google Pixel 10 Pro price in Pakistan
The Google Pixel 10 Pro (Non-PTA) can be purchased in Pakistan, with a price range beginning at approximately Rs259,990 and reaching up to Rs299,999 for the 128GB and 256GB variants.
Design and build
The Google Pixel 10 Pro shares the same dimensions as the standard Pixel 10. It measures 152.8 x 72 x 8.6mm, which makes it more manageable than the Pixel 10 Pro XL, which measures 162.8 x 76.6 x 8.6mm.
However, reaching the far corners of the Pixel 10 Pro with one hand still requires some finger maneuvering. Additionally, the Pixel 10 Pro is certified with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
The phone comes in moonstone, jade, porcelain, and obsidian colours.
Battery life
The device is powered by a 4,780mAh battery, the smallest in the entire Pixel range. This capacity is sufficient for all-day use for moderate users.
However, users who engage in heavy multitasking, editing, or gaming may need to recharge once during the day to ensure they can use the device comfortably.
Display quality
The Pixel 10 Pro features a 6.3-inch Super Actua OLED display with a resolution of 1,280 x 2,856 pixels, a dynamic refresh rate of 120Hz, HDR support, and an impressive peak brightness of up to 3,300 nits.
Although the display size is identical to that of the standard Pixel smartphone, this model uses LTPO display technology that can dynamically adjust the refresh rate to enhance battery efficiency.
It is a high-quality display that performs admirably both indoors and outdoors.
Camera specs with HDR
The Pixel 10 Pro features a camera configuration that is reminiscent of the 10 Pro XL and the previous year’s Pixel 9 Pro series.
This device is equipped with a triple rear camera system, which includes a 50MP primary sensor, a 48MP telephoto lens that offers 5x optical zoom, and a 48MP ultrawide camera.
Additionally, the 42MP punch-hole camera on the front remains unchanged.
In practical use, this camera arrangement demonstrates exceptional performance, capturing vibrant and detailed images with striking colors in both daylight and low-light conditions.
The HDR processing effectively balances highlights and shadows while maintaining detail in darker regions and providing a broad range of tones.
Users can take beautiful pictures in any light setting due to high saturation offered by the camera.
Storage space
The Google Pixel 10 Pro is equipped with 16GB of RAM and provides internal storage choices of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB. The storage employs rapid UFS 4.0 technology, with the larger capacities (512GB/1TB) using Zoned UFS (ZUFS) to enhance performance and efficiency.
However, there is no MicroSD slot available for expandable storage.
Overall performance
The Google Pixel Pro 10 smartphone offers exceptional performance for users who wish to buy a comfortable-to-use phone with great camera quality and good battery life.
The Pixel 10 Pro efficiently handles daily tasks and AI-powered functionalities with ease.
While it may not possess the quickest chipset available, the new TSMC manufacturing process ensures that its chipset, and consequently the device itself, remains cool, especially during demanding scenarios such as photography and AI-enhanced editing.
