Welcome to episode 67 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will reconvene after a week with the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL to talk about their respective experiences. These three phones might look familiar, but between Tensor G5, Magic Cue and Daily Hub, and Pixelsnap, there's plenty to break down.
