I’m a notoriously erratic gadget charger. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard “hurry up” while trying to get the kids out of the house for the weekend — snatching my phone off the plug at the last possible second, praying that it has enough juice to get through the day.
Having spent a good deal of my recent time with super-fast charging phones like the OPPO Find X9 Ultra and Xiaomi 17 Ultra, I’m always pleasantly surprised that just 20 minutes on the USB-C cable while eating breakfast is enough to get me through the day. However, I recently went back to the Pixel 10 Pro XL to get reacquainted with its cameras and see how I felt about gaming on its Tensor chip again. It didn’t take long for the battery anxiety to come flooding back.
