The feeling is all too real. You know what I’m talking about, right? That moment you get the email notification: “Shipping label created.” It’s the digital equivalent of seeing the finish line, but still having a few miles to run. I was hoping my 10 Pro would arrive on Thursday, but it looks like it might be a Friday delivery. First-world problems, for sure, but a true test of patience for a tech lover like me!

I’ve been a loyal Pixel user for a while now. I started with the Pixel 3a. I became an XL user when the series 4 came out. I loved that Oh-so-Orange Pixel 4 XL and didn’t give it up until the 6 Pro came out. When the Pixel 9 series was announced, I chose the 9 Pro. I preferred it over the XL because I appreciate a flagship phone in a smaller form factor. That’s one of the reasons I’m sticking with the Pixel 10 Pro. Even though the base models are getting three cameras, I’m confident the Pro will offer the photo quality I’m looking for.

I was a chef for over sixteen years, so I’m used to creating things with my hands. Now I create content with my camera. I’m excited to see how the new Pixel 10 Pro camera handles food photography in different lighting. I also love hiking and taking pictures of nature, and I can’t wait to see how the new Tensor G5 chip processes those. I’m particularly interested in improvements to the video output. I am curious if Google has fixed the jarring caused when the cameras switched during zooming while capturing video. I’ve already got a few ideas for hikes in mind for some photo ops.

So, here’s hoping it arrives sooner rather than later. The moment I get my hands on it, you can expect a full review, complete with tons of photos. What feature are you most excited about on the new Pixel 10 Pro? Let me know in the comments below!

PS. also received notification of my $200.00 credit. 😉 Thanks Google!
