Google Pixel 10 Series Headlines Latest Tech Reviews Amid Fall Flagship Season

As the fall flagship phone season kicks into high gear, Engadget has unveiled its comprehensive reviews of Google’s highly anticipated Pixel 10 lineup, alongside evaluations of Bose’s latest noise-canceling earbuds and Sony’s new compact camera. The Pixel 10 series, with its enhanced AI features, is positioned as a significant contender in the smartphone market, redefining user expectations.

The Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL (Expert Score: 94/100) are lauded for their convenience and usability, particularly their advanced AI capabilities like Magic Cue. Senior reviews writer Sam Rutherford highlights Google’s refined strategy, combining iterative hardware upgrades with a sleek design and AI software that surpasses rivals. Key pros include longer battery life, brighter displays, 100x Pro Res Zoom, and Pixelsnap charging (Qi2 support), though processing full-res images can be slow and the line is eSIM-only in the US. Starting at $999, these models are seen as a smart choice for Android users prioritizing intelligence over raw power.

The standard Google Pixel 10 (Expert Score: 92/100) redefines expectations for base-level flagship smartphones. UK bureau chief Mat Smith praises its more capable telephoto camera with 5x zoom, improved performance, and Magic Cue. The inclusion of Pixelsnap (Qi2 support) makes it compatible with MagSafe peripherals, offering versatility. While it boasts a tangibly more powerful processor and bigger battery, its battery life doesn’t match its predecessor and it’s also eSIM-only in the US. Priced at $799, it offers a compelling upgrade without needing the pricier Pro models.

Beyond smartphones, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd gen) (Expert Score: 88/100) receive high marks for further improving on their already outstanding active noise cancellation and enhancing call quality. While not a complete overhaul, these second-generation earbuds solidify their position as the top choice for wireless noise-canceling, despite unchanged battery life and a bulky design. They retail for $299.

However, the Sony RX1R III camera (Expert Score: 75/100) proved to be a disappointment for senior reporter Igor Bonifacic. Despite offering incredible image quality and fast, accurate autofocus in a small, compact design, its high price tag ($5,100) and lack of in-camera stabilization and a fixed rear screen make it difficult to recommend against other high-end compact cameras. The long-awaited update is seen as missing crucial features it should have included.
