Google Pixel 10 Pro / Samsung Galaxy A56 5G (SM-A566B)

Google introduced the Pixel 10 series alongside its Tensor G5 blog post on this date.

LTPO lets the refresh rate drop to 1 Hz on static content to save power. The 6.8-inch Pro XL has a different resolution (1344×2992).

120 Hz makes scrolling smoother; 1,200 nits is reached in High Brightness Mode, which switches on automatically in sunlight. Allowing for the rounded corners, the visible area is 6.5 inches.

Peak brightness is reached briefly in sunlight and on small areas; it is not sustained full-screen brightness.

Google says the CPU is up to 34% faster on average than Tensor G4 and the TPU up to 60% more powerful (pre-production testing).

Samsung says a larger vapor chamber than the previous generation spreads heat better in games and multitasking.

The 512 GB and 1 TB versions use Zoned UFS. The 128 GB option exists only on the smaller Pro; the Pro XL starts at 256 GB.

With no card slot, storage cannot be expanded later, so the capacity choice matters for heavy photo and video use.

Pro Res Zoom goes up to 100×; 5× is optical, beyond that the zoom is computational.

Optical stabilisation (OIS) is on the main camera only and reduces shake at night and in video. There is no telephoto camera; zoom is digital.

8K requires Video Boost, which processes the clip in Google’s cloud; it is not a direct on-device 8K mode. Google says 1080p and 4K30 record 10-bit video by default.

The Pro XL has a 5,200 mAh battery.

The charger is sold separately. PPS is a USB Power Delivery profile that lets the charger adjust voltage in small steps.

The Pro XL goes up to 25 W; the smaller Pro is limited to 15 W.

Satellite SOS availability varies by country.

USB 2.0 is slower than USB 3 ports for large video transfers and has no video output.

This value is from the US Google Store page; market versions with a physical SIM tray differ.

Google lists dimensions in inches and ounces.

Glass on the back as well is uncommon in this class; Samsung notes the camera lens covers are not included.

4K recording is limited to 30 fps; smoother video needs a drop to 1080p.

45 W speeds need a 45 W USB PD PPS adapter; lower-powered adapters take longer.

A virtual proximity sensor uses software and other sensors rather than dedicated hardware to turn the screen off during calls.

This is no guarantee against seawater, pool water or pressurised water.

This is the longest support yet in the Galaxy A series; rollout timing can vary by country and carrier.

Knox Vault stores sensitive data such as PINs and passwords in an isolated hardware area separate from the main processor.
