Like previous generations, the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL<\/a> will receive 7 major OS updates, meaning that support will end in 2032 with Android 23. That\u2019s great for the software, but will the hardware live that long? The best way to find out is to wait and see \u2013 the second best (and much faster) way is to watch Zack from JerryRigEverything try to snap the phone in half.<\/p>\n

The 10-series supports the magnetic profile of Qi2, meaning that the phone has magnets built into the back \u2013 they are arranged in a big circle to hold accessories and there is an extra magnet under that for alignment. Zack uses a magnetic viewing film to demonstrate \u2013 that\u2019s pretty cool as it makes the invisible magnetic lines visible.<\/p>\n

\"The
\nThe Pixel 10 series has magnets in its back for proper Qi2 support<\/p>\n

The 10-series uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for the front and back, so we expect to see the same scratch resistance \u2013 and indeed, the Pixel 10 Pro XL gets scratches at a level 6 and deeper grooves at level 7.<\/p>\n

Unlike other makers, Google never switched to stainless steel or titanium for its flagship phones \u2013 aluminum is more than good enough if the chassis is designed right. And the Pixels have the right formula, the phone barely even flexed during the bend test.<\/p>\n

For more on Google\u2019s new generation of phones, we have a Pixel 10<\/a> and Pixel 10 Pro<\/a> in for review and we will be sharing our findings soon.<\/p>\n
