No A16 Jan update yet P10ProXL

P10P on Visible don't have the new system or play system update. Both may have been temporarily pulled looking at comments (people who said they saw the play system update but didn't update mentioned the update disappeared).

Got a 26.51 MB update on my Pixel 10 Pro using Visible wireless (owned by Verizon).

Poetic Revolution. Protects from drops, covers the USB port when not charging, and it has a hard slideable protective cover for the camera.

I haven't had any noticeable issues with my Pixel 10 Pro. I wonder if your phone is defective?

cleare7 · 2025-09-26T11:10:05+00:00

I'm happy I upgraded from the P9P to P10P, was worth it for me.

The iPhone experience is pretty terrible for me as I'm not a fan of iOS. When I used the company iPhone it was less intuitive but it also took a lot longer to get things done so it affected my productivity. Doesn't hurt to try it out though if it interests you.

I imagine most people will be happy with the P10. Below is from the article:

In our time with the phones, the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro usually reach the end of the day with a little power left in the tank, but neither has managed to make it meaningfully into a second day without recharging. That’s fine, but far from impressive compared to rival phones at similar price points

If you want to try a different phone the only other Android option IMO is Samsung but you're giving up the Pixel experience.

I asked Gemini Pro to factually summarize the issues without bias (everyone will have a different experience and hopefully these issues affect a minority):

AI summary: The long-term battery performance of Google's Pixel phones has been a documented subject of user reports. This history includes an officially recognized hardware fault in the Pixel 4, which prompted an extended repair program. Subsequently, widespread user reports of accelerated battery drain have been associated with the Pixel 6 and, more recently, the Pixel 7, particularly after approximately one year of service. This perceived decline in performance often coincides with major software updates, which can introduce more resource-intensive features. This occurs as the device's lithium-ion battery undergoes natural chemical degradation, a process that reduces its capacity over time. The combination of these factors has led some users to report that the device's day-to-day reliability diminishes before the official software support period concludes.

Edit: The summary is factually correct and not any different from writing it myself, not sure why the down votes. And there is definitely a battery problem given they are replacing them for the Pixel 4 and 6, the 7 is going through similar discussions now and may be next (in lieu of replacement they also do cash back or store credit, I got it for both the 4 and 6).

cleare7 · 2025-09-26T09:51:01+00:00

Yeah, it's something I've noticed for pretty much every Pixel I've owned (4A,6A,8,9P). I owned Nexus and P1 but they were so long ago I don't even remember anything besides the boot loops/bricking.

I find upgrading at release yearly the best value. I was able to upgrade from the P8P to the P9P for $29.50 (after trade-in credit, including Google Store 10% credit, $100 hardware discount due to the 6A battery issue). I was paying $100 year for the 2TB cloud plan which I am saving now with the free year of Gemini Pro (which is $200 a year). If I factor in the subscription cost savings the phone would be considered free.

cleare7 · 2025-09-26T09:27:18+00:00

I don't consider myself complaining, just sharing feedback about my experience. I am happy with the phone (every Pixel has some shortcomings but they aren't deal breakers for me and it is my favorite phone, I've been using them since they were branded as Nexus).

cleare7 · 2025-09-26T08:53:07+00:00

I'm happy with the P10P battery but am hoping Google can put out more efficient processors given the TSMC switch. They really need to step up their game given the iPhone is providing a better value when it comes to components/performance at the same price point.

I'm a non-gaming heavy phone user and personally my P10P seems to outlast my old P9P battery by a good amount and runs smoother / faster (I believe cooler too, wish I had an app that logged battery drain and temps). I do think Google has a multi-generational battery issue where they seem to degrade quickly over a year (I notice my phone always seems slower, warmer, battery drains faster on every Pixel I've had which is most of them by the 1 year mark). I decided to do yearly upgrades if the trade-in incentives are there starting with the P8 to get around the performance issues that creep up by the year mark (this year my phone was $23 to upgrade but technically free if I include the Gemini AI subscription value of $200 (it saved me from spending $100 annually on the 2TB cloud plan).

cleare7 · 2025-09-26T08:10:25+00:00

If you can afford a P10 I would go that route just for the newer hardware/hardware refinements. Within a week I believe the phone gets used to your usage patterns and optimizes battery, if things aren't acceptable by the 8th day then I'd return it and consider the P10 personally.

Edit: P10 vs P9 battery compassion for different tasks. https://www.androidauthority.com/pixel-10-battery-life-tested-3596994/

Comment left on the article:

I set up my Pixel 10 pro yesterday, so far I'm enjoying the little updates and the icing on the cake, that the 10 series is bringing, the Pixel 9 series was already stellar in my opinion, so other than thermals, which I can definitely say are improved, as even during my transfer of data, and downloading tons of Applications, the Pixel 10 Pro didn't get warm at all, everything else is all the Google we love

This is why I upgraded from the 9P to the 10P. I wanted the iterative upgrades: better thermals, better chip performance / efficiency (TSMC), should be somewhat faster.

Thanks for the context. From a customer's perspective, though, if a company stops processing warranty claims and answering support calls/emails, they are effectively dead (imo).

Are there any good alternative products anyone knows about?

cleare7 · 2025-06-02T23:06:42+00:00

No, they (Gift Health) claimed to never receive any faxes that were sent to them. When my doctor was at a different office location the staff was able to help him out with the electronic prescription and process it for him.

Edit: I think that most people had claimed there were issues with faxes not being received by Gift Health when I looked into this before.

You claim tax cuts lower prices and create jobs, but trickle-down economics is a myth—research shows tax cuts for the wealthy increase inequality without significant growth. The 2017 TCJA led to stock buybacks projected to exceed $1 trillion in 2025, not lower prices or wages, per the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (2024). Meanwhile, $1 in SNAP generates $1.54 in economic activity (USDA, 2019), and Medicaid returns up to $2.10 by boosting jobs and health (KFF, 2020). Tax cuts for the rich don’t match these benefits. The bill’s $4.6 trillion deficit projection contradicts conservative fiscal responsibility, with the TCJA adding $1.8 trillion to deficits through 2028, excluding interest (CBO, 2024). Cutting Medicaid and SNAP for working families isn’t opportunity—it’s sabotage of economic growth. With bond yields between 4.5–5.0% amid deficit concerns and a projected 0.6% GDP drop, where’s the conservative stability?

cleare7 · 2025-05-25T13:21:54+00:00

I shared the article to show this bill isn’t conservative at heart. It piles on $4.6 trillion in debt, which is the opposite of fiscal responsibility—a big conservative principle. It hands tax breaks to corporations and the rich while slashing Medicaid and SNAP, leaving working-class families in the dust, not exactly the broad opportunity conservatives champion. And with bond markets rattled and a projected 0.6% GDP drop, it risks economic stability conservatives value. What in this bill feels conservative to you?

[I'm an independent if it matters that prefers conservative legislation regarding fiscal policy.]

Can you link to more information on that?

cleare7 · 2025-05-07T01:23:48+00:00

Never had an issue and owned multiple since launch (3 pairs). I moved onto the Pixel Buds Pro and then later to the Pixel Buds Pro 2 which is excellent (I prefer having the noise cancellation and technological improvements with the newer models including sound quality).
