The Pixel 10 Pro-series is out, and I’ve been using the entire lineup for the last few days. But most of my time has been spent with the Pixel 10 Pro XL for a good reason. You see, while most of the attention is understandably going to the upgraded camera shenanigans or Google’s AI features, there’s a rather underrated upgrade that has my attention. This year, Google says it has seriously upped its game with the speakers on the Pixel 10 Pro, and I wanted to see if it can deliver the goods.
Look, let’s be honest. A phone’s speaker might not be what gets the biggest attention, but it’s important to me. Working from home, I’ll often pop open a podcast on my phone’s speaker instead of going through the rigmarole of casting it to my music streamer. My favorite internet radio station is what I play back from my phone’s speaker when I step in for a shower. Google Meet calls, WhatsApp calls, family video calls — they all usually happen over my phone’s speaker. You catch my drift. For me, it’s one of the clearest indicators of how much thought has gone into creating a complete experience. So, just how much of an upgrade is the Pixel 10 Pro XL’s speaker?
