However, the Pixel 10 Pro XL supports an optional 480 Hz PWM mode to reduce eyestrain. Moreover, Google’s latest flagship can drop to 4 nits in a pitch black environment and up to 2,200 nits full-panel HDR peak brightness. According to DxOMark, the Pixel 10 Pro XL outscores the cheaper Pixel 10 by a single point, although both are commended for displaying accurately rendered colours, adapting well to changing brightness levels and having no issues with playing HDR10 videos regardless of lighting conditions.

On top of that, both devices have accurate and responsive touchscreens. The pair are not without issues, though. For instance, the Pixel 10 Pro XL suffers from colour shifts at certain oblique angles. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 has occasionally palm rejection hiccups. Overall though, the Pixel 10 pair currently sit atop DxOMark’s leaderboard, presumably until the company publishes their iPhone 17 series findings.
