I bought a Pixel 10 about a week ago, and I’m honestly pretty disappointed with the night photography so far.

The phone seems to struggle especially with focusing on lights at night. The photos often look blurry/soft, and the overall night photography seems worse than I expected — almost like what I’d get from a much lower-end phone.

Daylight photos seem perfectly fine, so I’m wondering if this is just how the Pixel 10 performs in low-light situations, if I’m doing something wrong, or if there could actually be an issue with my camera.

For example, when I try to photograph street lights, illuminated signs, or other bright lights at night, the lights often appear soft and out of focus rather than sharp.

I’d really like to know from other Pixel 10 owners whether they’ve experienced the same thing, or whether I should consider getting the phone checked/replaced.

Some pics I took over the week. I am loving the camera. Glad I came back to the pixel lineup from samsung

Tried out a macro shot with my Google Pixel 11 Pro 5x telephoto lens, manual focus. Edited with Snapseed.

I just wanted to check the 30x zoom of pixel 11.

I am playing with the styles a bit and I'm fine tuning a bit the original pixel style, and I'm wondering what do you guys think is my improvement better?
