Good news for people who don't want a tablet in their pocket: the Pixel 10 Pro is actually compact by 2025 standards.

The size reality:

At 6.3 inches, it's smaller than most competitors. Samsung S25 Ultra is 6.9 inches. Most flagships are 6.7+ inches. If big phones drive you crazy, the Pixel 10 Pro is refreshingly reasonable.

One-handed use:

For most people, yes. At 72mm wide, average hands can reach across the screen with their thumb. You might adjust grip for top corners, but daily one-handed texting and scrolling is comfortable.

At 206 grams, it's light enough that your hand doesn't tire. This matters more than you'd think.

Compared to XL:

The Pro XL has a 6.8-inch screen and bigger battery but is definitely two-handed. If one-handed use matters, stick with regular Pro.

iPhone comparison:

iPhone 17 Pro is very similar (6.3", 199g). Cross-shopping on size? They're effectively the same.

Bottom line:

If you're frustrated that every new phone is bigger than the last, the Pixel 10 Pro is a genuine alternative. Flagship features without cargo pants.

eSIM problems are frustrating, but most have straightforward fixes.

First, check the basics:

Make sure you're on WiFi. eSIM setup downloads a profile from carrier servers. Verify your account is active and supports eSIM for Pixel.

Most common problem: old phone transfer

Your old device's eSIM must be completely removed first. Carriers won't let the same eSIM be active on two devices.

Old iPhone: Settings > Cellular > tap plan > Remove Cellular Plan Old Android: Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > Delete

Then start fresh on Pixel 10 Pro.

QR code issues:

Codes often expire. Get a fresh one from carrier app/website. Each code is usually single-use.

Activated but no service:

Turn on airplane mode for 30 seconds, then off. If still no service, restart the phone completely.

Carrier-specific tips:

• Verizon: May need customer service call for transfers
• AT&T: Store visit sometimes faster than app
• T-Mobile: App usually works, family plan transfers can be tricky

If nothing works:

Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth

This clears network configs without deleting apps/data. Then retry eSIM setup.

Still stuck? Call your carrier. Some issues need activation pushed from their end.

Get the Pixel 10 Pro and follow these tips for smooth eSIM setup.

Yes, you can use two phone numbers on the Pixel 10 Pro. Here's how it works.

US version:

No physical SIM slot. eSIM-only. But you can have two eSIMs active simultaneously, giving you two working numbers.

Both receive calls and texts. When someone calls, you see which line. Outgoing calls default to your primary line, switchable per call.

Data uses one line at a time with automatic fallback.

International versions:

Physical SIM slot plus eSIM. Use physical + eSIM, or two eSIMs.

Setting it up:

Settings > Network & internet > SIMs. Add each line via carrier QR code or app. Configure defaults for calls, texts, and data.

Why people use dual SIM:

• Separate work and personal numbers
• Travel with local SIM while keeping home number
• Better coverage with two carriers
• Transitioning to a new number

Bonus:

Store up to 8 eSIM profiles. Only 2 active at once, but great for travelers with multiple country numbers.

Watch out:

Visual voicemail may only work on one line. Both carriers need eSIM support.
