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.
