Well, after carefully having a look at the specifications and latest features, I believe the standard Google Pixel 10 model is the best buy without a pro price tag. This year, Google has introduced 3 pro-like features to its base model, which makes more sense buying this year than the Pixel 10 Pro models.

Google Pixel 10 5G: 3 features that make it a pro-level phone

High-performance Tensor G5 chip: With the standard Pixel 10 model, Google has introduced the new Tensor G5 chip, similar to the Pixel 10 Pro models. The processor claims to offer 34% faster performance and a 60% boost in AI processing. In addition, users can take advantage of all the latest features, such as Gemini Live, Magic Cue, Camera Coach, Call translation, and more.

Triple camera system: Unlike last year’s dual camera setup, the Google Pixel 10 has received a triple camera system with a dedicated telephoto lens, offering 5x optical zoom. The smartphone features a 48MP main sensor, a 13MP ultrawide camera, and finally a 10.8MP telephoto lens. Hence, Google has bridged the gap between standard and pro models by bringing a more versatile and capable camera system.

Seven years of software and security updates: Another reason to buy the Pixel 10 model is that Google is offering seven years of software and security updates, making the smartphone future-ready. Currently, the smartphone runs on Android 16, and it will last till Android 22. Therefore, it could be a mindful investment at Rs. 79,999.
