Google Pixel 10 Pro / Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

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

The Samsung Newsroom release is dated 23 January Korea time; the event was 22 January in US time.

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).

The viewable area is smaller than the diagonal because of rounded corners and the camera hole. Refresh that drops to 1 Hz saves power on static content; Vision Booster adjusts tone mapping in bright light.

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 quotes 40% NPU, 37% CPU and 30% GPU gains over the previous generation. This version is tuned for Galaxy with higher clocks than the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite.

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.

Samsung notes memory options may vary by market and usable storage is lower because of preloaded software. There is no card slot.

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

Per Samsung, 3× and 5× are optical; 2× and 10× are “optical quality” zoom made by sensor cropping. OIS is optical image stabilisation.

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.

Log records a flat profile for colour grading; results depend on the editing workflow. Audio Eraser can reduce layers such as voices, music, wind and crowd separately in videos.

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.

5G/LTE availability depends on market and carrier.

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

Water resistance is not permanent and may diminish over time.

Google lists dimensions in inches and ounces.

According to Android Central’s one-year report, the phone received One UI 8 (Android 16) ahead of schedule.

Colour availability varies by country and carrier.

The vapor chamber spreads heat from the chip into the body, helping clocks hold longer in extended gaming.

Used on the front only. Corning says it survived drops of up to 2.2 m onto a concrete-like surface in internal lab tests; this is not a durability guarantee for any given phone.

Titanium is used only on the frame, excluding the volume and side keys.

The 45 W adapter is sold separately. Samsung quotes up to 31 hours of video playback. Wireless PowerShare charges earbuds or a watch from the back of the phone.
