This Prime Day Pixel deal will convince you to switch to Android"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you’re an iPhone user and are willing to switch to Android, now is the best time to do so. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is the best Android flagship you can buy in the U.S., and while I prefer the Find X9 Ultra<\/a> and Vivo X300 Ultra<\/a>, you don’t get those devices Stateside, so if I have to choose between the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Motorola Signature, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Google’s phone wins out.<\/p>\n

There’s just one issue: the pricing. The Pixel 10 Pro XL debuted at $1,199, and that’s way too much. Thankfully, the phone is down to $884 during Prime Day<\/a>, a huge $315 discount that makes this the ideal time to get your hands on the Pixel 10 Pro XL. Google’s phones always sell well during these sale, and it’s no different this time. And what about the iPhone, you ask? There aren’t any deals around this year, so you’ll need to shell out the full $1,199<\/a> to get your hands on the 17 Pro Max.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2705Recommended if: You want the best phone in the U.S. The Pixel 10 Pro XL has better cameras than the Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max, the software is cleaner, and you get an extensive set of AI features if that’s what you want in a phone.<\/p>\n

\u274cSkip this deal if: You’re used to the iPhone. I get that it’s hard to change, and with the iPhone, you get an interface that’s essentially unchanged over the last decade.<\/p>\n

Google sorted out a lot of the lingering issues this time, and the result is that the Pixel 10 Pro XL is noticeably better than its predecessors. The fundamentals haven’t changed; you still get great cameras, clean software with plenty of meaningful features, good battery life, and a bright OLED panel.<\/p>\n

It’s the software where the Pixel 10 Pro XL truly comes into its own. The phone just got the Android 17 update<\/a>, and alongside a slate of new features and a new floating windows mode called bubbles, the update made the phone a little faster, making it even better to use.<\/p>\n

Google has a dominant lead when it comes to phone-based AI features, so much so that Apple is using Google’s models on the iPhone now. But if you’re not a fan of generative AI or don’t need these features, you don’t have to use any on the Pixel 10 Pro XL \u2014 I don’t. Outside of the software, the Pixel 10 Pro XL cameras continue to stand out, and you consistently get great photos and videos.<\/p>\n

The OLED panel is among the brightest of any phone around, and I like its color vibrancy. Battery life is decent, and while it doesn’t measure up to Chinese rivals, I still get a day’s worth of use consistently.<\/p>\n

Google has been making phones for the better part of a decade now, and with the Pixel 10 Pro XL, it’s clear that the brand has a phone that’s among the best around. If you’re not satisfied with your iPhone and want to try something new, the Pixel 10 Pro XL would be my recommendation \u2014 get the phone while it’s still down to $884<\/a>.<\/p>\n
