Some early Pixel 10 adopters are reporting issues with charging, overheating, and the phone's weight.

Buyers who have gotten their hands on the Pixel 10 share their first impressions.
After some hands-on experience with the Pixel 10 Pro XL, it was observed that the device has a slightly increased weight, likely because of the inclusion of a magnetic ring and a larger battery.
One Reddit user noted the Pixel 10 Pro XL feels bulky, making the Pixel 8 Pro seem sleek by comparison and is less comfortable to hold.
The Pixel 9 weighs 198 grams, while the Pixel 10 weighs 204 grams. The Pixel 9 Pro XL weighs 221 grams, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL weighs 232 grams. Although the difference may seem small, it can be noticeable in smartphones.
Some users have encountered issues with contactless payments, as they are unable to add cards for tap-to-pay functionality.
Certain users have also reported that the phones overheat during wireless charging. Some users are experiencing slow charging speeds, while others are encountering problems with wired charging. One user stated this is not healthy for the battery when using both third-party and official chargers.
Another user reported that after plugging in their new Pixel 10 Pro XL with their Macbook Pro charger, the phone would not charge, even after switching to the new cable. The phone only charged when using a Pixel Snap QI charger, but at a very slow rate.
Many users have reported that Android Auto is not working. Google has acknowledged the issue, stating that it affects specific car models and that a fix is coming soon.
One user shared that they noticed Android Auto would not load at all on their new Pixel 10 Pro XL. They also observed the GPU was not rendering properly in some games.
It is common for new phones to have initial issues, which manufacturers typically resolve in the initial weeks after launch.
Some aspects, such as the Pixel 10's weight and smaller main cameras, may not be fixable and users will have to accept them. However, these may not be negative aspects for all users. As long as Google addresses the software issues quickly, there should be no major concerns.
