Pixel 10 Pro XL is, as usual Google saying the plus variant of the regular Pixel 10 Pro. Same cameras, same processor, same features – just a larger screen and bigger battery. Funnily, I’ve always found the XL nomenclature quite bizarre for a phone, and they started this naming scheme last year. What’s next, XXL? This article will discuss everything about the latest Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL Overview

Display 

The main difference between the Pro and Pro XL is screen real estate. You’re getting a 6.8-inch LTPO OLED instead of the Pro’s 6.3-inch display. The resolution bumps up to 1344 × 2992 pixels at around 486 ppi, which is actually slightly lower pixel density than the smaller Pro model at 495 ppi.

Everything else about the display remains the same – 1-120Hz variable refresh rate, 2200 nits HBM, 3300 nits peak brightness, HDR10+ support, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. The screen-to-body ratio improves slightly to 88.0% compared to the Pro’s 87.6%. The Pro XL measures 162.8 × 76.6 × 8.5mm and weighs 232g, making it significantly larger and heavier than the 207g Pro model. That’s a 25g difference, which you’ll definitely notice in your pocket

Battery

One thing that justifies the Pro XL’s existence is the 5200mAh battery, which is substantially larger than both the Pro’s 4870mAh and the regular Pixel 10’s 4970mAh. You’re also getting 45W wired charging that can hit 70% in 30 minutes, compared to slower charging on the smaller models.

The wireless charging also gets upgraded to 25W Qi2 magnetic charging instead of the 15W on the regular Pixel 10. From where we’re seeing Google’s strategy, they’re using the XL as the showcase for their fastest charging technologies.

Identical Everything Else

The camera system is exactly the same as the Pro – 50MP wide, 48MP ultrawide with f/1.7 aperture, and 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom. You’re getting the same 100x Pro Res Zoom, 8K video recording, and 42MP front camera.

Performance is identical too – Tensor G5 chip, 16GB RAM, and storage options from 256GB to 1TB. The Pro XL actually starts at 256GB instead of 128GB, which makes sense given the target audience probably wants more storage for all that 8K video.

About the XL

The XL naming convention started last year, and honestly, it feels like Google ran out of creative ideas. Samsung uses “Plus” or “Ultra,” Apple has “Pro Max,” but Google went with clothing sizes. As i mentioned earlier, what’s next when they want to go even bigger – XXL? XXXL?

But makes no sense to overthink naming when the product itself is straightforward. It’s the Pro with a bigger screen and battery, which is exactly what some people want.

Same AI Features, Bigger Canvas

You’re getting all the same AI features as the Pro – Camera Coach, Ask Photos, Gemini Live, Magic Cue, and enhanced Live Translate. The larger screen should make some of these features more useful, especially for video editing and photo management.

Circle to Search and all the computational photography features work identically. The bigger display just gives you more room to work with when editing 8K videos or managing large photo libraries.

Build Quality and Colors

Same “spacecraft-grade aluminum” and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 construction as the Pro, with the same Moonstone, Jade, Porcelain, and Obsidian color options. IP68 rating for dust and water resistance remains standard.

The build quality should be identical to the Pro, just scaled up for the larger form factor. Google claims it’s “2x stronger than Pixel 8,” though that’s hard to verify without drop tests. Larger phones feel less premium due to their unwieldy size, but the Pro XL maintains the same materials and finish quality as its smaller sibling.

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL Price in Nepal and Availability

Google’s confirmed the Pixel 10 Pro starts at $1199. When this makes it to Nepal, it would probably start at no less than NPR 190,000.

The regular Pixel 10 finally got a telephoto lens, which was overdue. But Google’s not stopping there. The Pixel 10 Pro takes everything from the base model and cranks it up to eleven – we’re talking 8K video recording, 100x digital zoom, and a 48MP ultrawide that puts most competitors to shame. Plus they launched the Pro XL alongside it, but that’s basically the same phone with a bigger screen. This article will discuss everything about the latest Google Pixel 10 Pro, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Overview

Display  

The Pixel 10 Pro gets a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED with 1-120Hz variable refresh rate. The resolution bumps up to 1280 × 2856 pixels at around 495 ppi, which is sharper than the regular Pixel 10. You’re getting 2200 nits HBM and 3300 nits peak brightness.  Similarly, the screen-to-body ratio hits 87.6%, and it’s protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Performance 

One thing that separates the Pro from the regular model is 16GB of RAM instead of 12GB. You’re still getting the same Tensor G5 chip, but with more memory for AI processing and multitasking. Storage options go up to 1TB, which is important if you’re planning to shoot 8K videos.

The battery is actually smaller at 4,870mAh compared to the regular Pixel 10’s 4,970mAh. But the Pro XL gets 45W fast charging and can hit 70% in 30 minutes, plus 25W Qi2 wireless charging instead of 15W.

Camera System

The camera upgrades here are massive. You’re getting a 50MP wide camera ( the regular model got a 48MP sensor), but the ultrawide jumps to 48MP with an f/1.7 aperture. That’s basically flagship-level specs for the ultrawide, which most phones treat as an afterthought.

The telephoto is also 48MP with f/2.8 aperture and 5x optical zoom. Where the regular Pixel 10 maxes out at 20x Super Res Zoom, the Pro goes all the way to 100x digital zoom.

8K Video 

From where we’re seeing Google’s strategy, they’re clearly targeting content creators with the Pro model. You’re getting 8K video recording at 30fps through their “Video Boost” feature, which uses cloud processing for brightness, stabilization, and color enhancement.

The problem, I think, is that 8K video eats storage for breakfast and most people don’t have displays that can even show 8K properly. But for YouTube creators or people who want to future-proof their content, it might actually matter.

Super Res Zoom Video goes up to 20x with smooth stabilization, and Night Sight Video now works with 8K recording. The front camera is a massive 42MP ultrawide with 103-degree field of view and autofocus, which is genuinely impressive for selfies and video calls.

Design 

The Pro gets a “silky matte” back finish instead of the polished glass on the regular model. You’re getting Moonstone, Jade, Porcelain, and Obsidian color options. The dimensions are nearly identical at 152.8 × 72 × 8.5mm and 207g, just slightly heavier than the regular model.

Both phones claim to be “2x stronger than Pixel 8” with “spacecraft-grade aluminum,” which sounds like marketing nonsense but hopefully means better durability. IP68 rating is standard across the lineup.

AI Features

To break a spell, i think, for more or less, AI camera features are or has been pretty much gimmicks, or at least that’s how most people think. But some of these actually seem practical. Camera Coach suggests better angles and lighting in real-time. Ask Photos lets you edit by describing what you want changed. Auto Best Take combines multiple shots to get everyone looking their best. While Gemini Live integration lets you have conversations about what the camera sees, which could be useful for identifying objects or getting photography advice. And Magic Cue proactively suggests helpful information based on context. Finally, the Live Translate feature now preserves the caller’s natural voice during real-time translation, which is genuinely impressive if it works as advertised.

Connectivity and Additional Features

You’re getting Wi-Fi 7 support, Bluetooth 6.0, Ultra Wideband, and Satellite SOS for emergencies. The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor should be more reliable than optical ones. There’s a skin thermometer sensor, which seems random but might be useful for health tracking.

Seven years of OS and security updates means you’ll get support through 2032, which makes the higher price more justifiable for long-term use.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Price in Nepal and Availability

You know what’s been missing from vanilla Pixel phones for years? A telephoto lens. While Samsung was throwing periscope cameras into their flagships, Google kept insisting that computational photography could solve everything. Well, they finally caved. Google just dropped the Pixel 10 series in Brooklyn, and for the first time ever, in the Pixel 10, you’re getting three cameras instead of two. This article will discuss everything about the latest Google Pixel 10, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Google Pixel 10 Overview

Camera System

Google went from zero to hero with the camera setup. You’re getting a 48MP main camera with f/1.7 aperture and OIS. But the interesting addition is that – they added a 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom. And yeah, it’s got OIS too.

The ultrawide is 13MP with a 120-degree field of view. All things considered, it’s rather funny that Google took this long to realize that maybe, just maybe, people want to zoom in on stuff without everything turning into a pixelated mess.

The 5x optical zoom extends to 20x Super Res Zoom through their “computational magic.” Well, basically this means you can actually capture distant subjects without the usual digital zoom artifacts. More often than not, Pixel phones were amazing in low light but terrible for anything far away – this should fix that. Similarly, for front camera, you are getting a 10.5 MP sensor.

Tensor G5 

One thing that caught our attention was Google claiming this is “Pixel’s biggest performance leap yet.” The Tensor G5 is built on 3nm process and supposedly designed specifically for AI camera processing. You’re getting 12GB of RAM across both 128GB and 256GB storage options. But needless to say, starting your phone with 128GB variant in 2025 is just mad awful thing to do. You can do almost nothing with 128GB. They should have started with 256GB like everyone else.

From where we’re seeing Google’s strategy, they’re finally treating the Tensor chip like it matters for more than just voice recognition. The problem, I think, was that previous Tensor chips were good for AI stuff but felt sluggish for basic phone tasks. We don’t know if the G5 fixes this completely, but 12GB of RAM should help.

Design

The Pixel 10 measures 152.8 × 72 × 8.6mm and weighs 204g. Google claims it’s twice as durable as the Pixel 8, which isn’t saying much since that phone wasn’t exactly a tank. You’re getting Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front and back, IP68 water resistance, and a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED with 120Hz refresh rate.

The back is made from “polished glass with satin finish” and 100% recycled aluminum accents. Whatever that means in practice, but at least they’re trying to sound environmentally conscious.

Qi2 Integration 

But makes no sense to bury this – Google finally embedded magnets directly into the phone for Qi2 wireless charging. Unlike Samsung’s “Qi2-Ready” nonsense, this works like Apple’s MagSafe. You’re getting 15W wireless charging with magnetic alignment, and it’s compatible with existing MagSafe accessories.

They’re calling it the “Pixelsnap ecosystem,” which sounds like marketing speak, but magnetic accessories are genuinely useful. No more fumbling with wireless charger alignment.

AI Features 

Google’s going heavy on Gemini integration. Magic Cue proactively suggests information based on context. Camera Coach uses Gemini for real-time photography tips. Ask Photos lets you edit through natural language descriptions. While Gemini Live integration lets you have conversations about what the camera sees.

Similarly, ‘Enhanced Live Translate’ now preserves the caller’s natural voice during real-time translation, which is actually pretty cool if it works properly. Sadly, I think most of these AI features will be gimmicks that people try once and forget about. But the camera coaching might actually be useful for people learning photography.

Battery and Software Support

The 4,970mAh battery should last over 24 hours of typical use, with up to 100 hours using Extreme Battery Saver mode. 30W wired charging gets you to 55% in about 30 minutes.

Google’s promising 7 years of OS and security updates, so you’ll get support through 2032. That’s genuinely impressive and puts pressure on other Android manufacturers. But, the real question, can Pixel phones last up to 7 years without breaking apart, or more clearly, are people willing to use the same phone for 7 straight years?
