How do you improve on one of the best phones you can buy? Google's answer? A few small improvements. Having spent time with the new Pixel 10 Pro series, it turns out that these improvements make a big impact.

In the age of incremental phone upgrades, Google just gave the Pixel 10 a leg up over a lot of other baseline flagship smartphones.

The products were launched at the annual 'Made by Google' event held in New York, which marked a return to more modest upgrades of its smartphones, smartwatch, and wireless earbuds compared to last year's event that industry analysts said was bigger and bolder than usual.
