The Pixel 10 Pro XL stands out for strong camera features, especially Pro Res Zoom and 100X zoom, along with solid everyday performance and prompt updates. Battery life, heating, reception, and fingerprint use are described as improved over earlier Pixels, and the phone is praised as a solid daily driver. The main knock is price, with $849 called too high compared with used, refurbished, or newer alternatives. A few comments still flag lingering heat issues, so the value depends on how much the camera and Pixel software matter.
Pixel photographers who want stronger zoom, because Pro Res Zoom and 100X zoom make the camera upgrade feel worthwhile.
People who keep a phone for years and want fewer hardware annoyances, because the 10 Pro XL can fix battery, heating, reception, and fingerprint issues in daily use.
Deal shoppers may find lower-cost purchase paths because used-good units were reportedly obtained for $566 and Used Like New options were $112 less than the deal price.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL can be a strong upgrade from a Pixel 9 XL because it reportedly fixes battery, heating, reception, and improves fingerprint usability.
$849 is widely viewed as overpriced for this phone. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is described as a solid device, but several comments say it only becomes good value when significantly discounted, with cheaper used or refurbished options available.
Compared with the 9 Pro XL, the main upgrade cited is Pro Res Zoom and 100x zoom, which can make the upgrade feel worthwhile. Compared with the Galaxy S22+, it is described as stronger in most everyday tasks, though some note Samsung can feel faster at app opening and that the Pixel is not a great value unless discounted.
Yes. A Used Like New unit was mentioned for $112 less than the deal price, and another buyer reported getting a used-good moonstone unit for $566. Refurbished Galaxy S26 Ultra pricing was also cited as lower than this deal.
It can improve those problem areas, especially compared with the 9 Pro XL, with reports of better battery life, less heating, improved reception, and a more usable fingerprint sensor. However, the phone can still get hot, so the heating issue is not universally fixed.

Horrible deal. I have the 9xl it's great and almost the same specs. These come out new at like $900 and a year later you can buy for $450
A lot has changed in 1 year, in case you have been living under a rock. Not only we have horrible inflation, but the RAM and NAND prices are 400-500% higher.

And that's why this deal sucks.

Way too much, cheaper on swappa and I don't know if I'm allowed to say that so mods just message me if that's not allowed. Pixels are good phones but using them you can feel how underpowered they are. A old s23 ultra feels more powerful than a pixel. Good phone to just sit on the desk and do real like work though.
Absolutely horrible phone. Wanted something different after 8 years of Samsung Ultra's and Active's. Saw the decent reviews of this alleged 'flagship'. My mistake to ignore criticism's about the battery and app optimization. This phone is absolute garbage. By far the worst battery life of any phone I've owned in the last 10 years. I have a used S22+. That phone is faster opening apps than the 10 Pro XL. That used phone's battery lasts as long as the 10 Pro XL. So...if the only thing you want from a phone is decent pictures -which many phones can match- and a phone that gets prompt updates....then that Pixel 10 Pro XL delivers. Other then that, it's garbage and I suggest a avoiding it.

As someone who has used every single pixel since the 4th, one of the most rewarding changes was from 9XL to 10XL.
I struggled with every iteration until the 10XL and the 10XL ended my compulsion to upgrade to see if the issues are "finally fixed" in the newest generation. The 10XL finally fixed (my use case) battery issues, heating issues, reception, and to an extend made the fingerprint sensor issues which gave me a lot of issues through every generation, now it's usable, as long as I remember center my thumb properly though.
9XL was heating issues, reception issues, stutters, etc. and the fingeprint still was unusable for me so there you go.

Deal shoppers may find lower-cost purchase paths because used-good units were reportedly obtained for $566 and Used Like New options were $112 less than the deal price.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL can be a strong upgrade from a Pixel 9 XL because it reportedly fixes battery, heating, reception, and improves fingerprint usability.
The Pro Res Zoom feature can justify upgrading to the Pixel 10 Pro XL because it reportedly adds game-changing zoom capabilities and better photos.
The phone can still be a practical option for desk and real-life work because it reportedly delivers prompt updates and decent pictures.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL deal can be undermined by alternatives, including a Mint Mobile Pixel 11 for $579 and a refurbished Galaxy S26 Ultra for less.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL can have very poor battery life and slower app opening compared with a used S22+, which can make it feel like a weak performer.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL can still run hot, and the heating issue may not feel fully fixed yet.
The $849 price can be hard to justify because the phone was reportedly around $900 new and about $450 a year later.

The 11 series removed MTE and that's a huge downgrade
I don't plan to use graphene, so I don't really care. Running a Motorola 5g ace from 2021 so anything is a huge upgrade at this point for me.
