Pixel 10. Google has upgraded the chip manufacturing of the Pixel 10 Pro to TSMC and a more advanced 3 nm process. Despite the impressive claims made during the Pixel 10 premiere, the Pixel 10 Pro GPU performance falls short compared to competitors like the Galaxy S25 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro. The slow GPU is just one of the reasons why I choose to stick with my iPhone over switching to the Pixel 10 Pro.
Pixel 10 Pro lags behind in performance when compared to other flagships in the market. While affordability was a justification in the past, the current pricing makes it a less appealing option. However, the performance issue is not the only factor influencing my decision against switching to the Pixel lineup.
The Importance of Performance in Smartphones

Performance plays a crucial role in the overall user experience of a smartphone. Despite being a minor detail for some, it is essential for tasks that require advanced processing. The Pixel 10 Pro fails to meet expectations, with benchmarks placing it below older models like the Galaxy S24 and iPhone 14 Pro. The disparity in GPU performance with its competitors like the Galaxy S23 raises concerns about the device's longevity.
Pixel 10 Pro offers decent performance for standard tasks but may face limitations over time. While the device may suffice for a while, the performance gap is likely to be noticeable sooner than expected. Apple's iPhone 14 Pro showcases superior longevity in comparison, making it a preferred choice for users seeking lasting performance.
Google's Ecosystem and Apple's Dominance

While Android has made significant strides in design and functionality, Google's ecosystem can be accessed on various platforms, making the need for an Android device redundant. The user experience is more crucial to me than the design aesthetic, leading me to stick with the familiar Apple ecosystem.

Pixel 10 Pro is a suitable device for Android users, offering unique features not found in iPhones. Despite its appeal, as an iPhone user, the Pixel 10 lineup doesn't meet my criteria for a smartphone upgrade. With the iPhone 17 on the horizon, Apple has the opportunity to bridge the performance gap and maintain its edge over the competition. The variety of choices available in the market allows users to select a device that aligns with their preferences and needs.
