Which should you buy?
The Pixel 10 Pro XL edges ahead on the Mars Score (64.6 vs 67.9), but the 3.3-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the ThinkPhone if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, weight, refresh rate.
Pick the Pixel 10 Pro XL if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are ram, wireless charging, antutu, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, 5g support, water resistance, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
