Who is the Pixel 10 Pro XL phone for?
Pixel 10 Pro
Well, maybe it's because you're after a great camera experience. Or, you dig those Pixel-exclusive Android features? Like the Call Screen feature (a cool anti-spam filter) that you're after. Perhaps you want on-device AI?"Choose your fighter", as the saying goes. There isn't a shortage of reasons to have the hots for the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro flagships.Now that we outlined how the regular-sized Pixel 10 Pro could capture your heart , it's time to pay a visit to XL town. In most ways, the XL model will be similar to its non-Pro sibling. There are differences, however, so let's check them out: this is what makes theXL (so) special.Let's face it: size matters when it comes to screens. TheXL reportedly packs a massive 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display, compared to the 6.3-inch panel on the regular Pro. That half-inch may not sound like a lot, but in the smartphone world, it's the difference between casually scrolling and comfortably multitasking. If you often split your screen to juggle apps or edit documents on the go, bigger really is better.A large display is also a blessing for people who can't justify the cost – or bulk (that's me, I detest having to lug around backpacks) – of a tablet or a foldable phone Personally, one of the reasons that I like large screens is when it's time to edit photos or videos. Tuning colors and cropping shots feels so much easier when your workspace isn't cramped. A larger canvas means fewer accidental taps and more precise edits.Pixel phones aren't exactly famous for speed-demon charging, and the Pixel 10 series isn't changing that narrative. Thewill reportedly top out at 29W wired charging, while the XL bumps it up to 39W. That's still miles behind Chinese competitors pushing 100W or even 150W, but if you're set on buying a Pixel, every extra watt counts. Believe me: been there, done that.This means the XL will juice up faster, even with its larger battery. For anyone who hates being tethered to an outlet, that's a big deal. It also helps offset the XL's heavier footprint – because if you're going bigger, you might as well go faster, too. So while Google isn't joining the hyper-charging arms race, the Pro XL is clearly the better pick for those who value every minute saved.TheXL is rumored to house a 5,200 mAh battery, making it the largest ever in a Pixel device. Yes, even the Pixel 9a with its biggest-to-date 5,100 mAh cell could get dethroned.Of course, a larger screen means more pixels to light up, so battery life won't necessarily skyrocket. Still, with Google's proven software optimizations – Adaptive Battery, Extreme Battery Saver, and those AI smarts – the XL should hold its own against rivals. For context, Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra (still) sticks with 5,000 mAh.This bigger battery should mean extra screen time for heavy users, which makes a difference on those travel days or Netflix marathons. But let's be real: the tradeoff is a bigger phone in your pocket. If that sounds fine, the XL might be calling your name.TheXL is made for power users who want everything – bigger screen, faster charging (for a Pixel), and the most stamina in the lineup. It's not a compact phone, and it won't win any speed-charging awards against Chinese giants. But if you love Google's clean Android, AI perks, and camera magic, the XL is shaping up to be the ultimate Pixel experience.

That T-Mobile freebie you've been waiting for has been delayed for 'unknown reasons'
You probably never expected a water bottle to make not one and not two but three different headlines (in the space of just a few weeks) on a website primarily dedicated to phones and other (sophisticated) mobile devices, but here I am, giving you the news I know so many of you are interested in and nobody wanted to hear today. This is definitely not the world's most valuable freebie, but it will certainly come in handy... at some point. A different source on Reddit (who also seems to know what he's talking about) claims "shipment delay issues" are behind the highly unusual last-minute change. In other words, T-Mo may have had trouble procuring enough water bottles to satisfy your presumably sky-high demand, so instead of potentially running out of inventory within minutes of launching the deal today, a move to "either August 5 or August 12" was decided. That definitely sounds like a wise call, even though it makes this week's T-Mobile Tuesdays slate wholly unexciting... just like so many other past collections of similar goodies and offers. It remains to be seen now if this unexpected delay will impact in any way the other big gift T-Mobile is planning to give all customers with no strings attached on August 26. Probably not, but it might be smart to not take anything for granted yet.

Mint Mobile customers say it feels like they don't even have service
Mint Mobile's killer prices have always been a major selling point, especially when a promo like the current 50% off for new customers kicks in. A full year of half-off service? Hard to ignore. But while that kind of deal might bring in fresh faces fast, it seems like the network struggles to keep them happy – because lately, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing. Over the past couple of weeks, users have been flooding Reddit with complaints about Mint's network performance. We are talking dropped calls, unusable data and texts not going through. And this isn't just isolated to one city – these issues are being reported all across the country. – Confident-Ad-6978, Reddit, July 2025 For a lot of these users, the problems seemed to hit out of nowhere – and all around the same time. –Bulgogi_Yogi, Reddit, July 2025 Yeah, one common thread? Many say it all started around two weeks ago. And while some have tried to troubleshoot with customer service, the fixes don't always stick. –Brown_Noise_76, Reddit, July 2025 And even long-term users are saying this is the worst it's ever been. –Advanced-Level-5686, Reddit, July 2025 – Sad_Researcher_3344, Reddit, July 2025 Of course, not everyone is having issues – but there are enough long-time users speaking up that it doesn't seem like just a fluke. – z06tim, Reddit, July 2025 – DetrashTheTriangle, Reddit, July 2025 So what could be going on? There could be a few reasons, but the most likely one starts with the fact that Mint Mobile is an MVNO running on T-Mobile 's network. And when the T-Mobile network gets congested – like during peak times or in busy areas – priority might go to T-Mobile 's own postpaid customers. MVNOs like Mint? They might get the leftovers. Last year, T-Mobile bought Mint Mobile's parent company, Ka'ena Corporation. | Video credit – Mint Mobile On top of that, the timing is interesting. These user reports all started around the same time, which could mean something changed on the network. T-Mobile has been prepping its Starlink-powered satellite-to-phone service and that launch didn't go entirely smoothly. A major outage happened shortly after and it was reportedly due to an internal software failure. While that is a separate system, it does suggest there may be broader network-level changes happening in the background. If T-Mobile rolled out a new software update, changed traffic management setting, or tweaked how MVNOs get prioritized, that could easily explain the sudden headaches Mint users are seeing. And then there is that massive 50% off promo Mint is running right now. If it brought in a wave of new users, even with more network capacity purchased, the added traffic could be pushing the system to its limits – making deprioritization even worse. All of this is just a guess, of course. The real issue could lie somewhere else entirely. We've reached out to both Mint Mobile and T-Mobile for comment and will update this story once we hear back.
