Can I run Phi-4-reasoning on Google Pixel 10 Pro?

Compatibility verdict VRAM threshold engine
Yes, but tight slow on this hardware ~4 tok/s est.

Yes. Phi-4-reasoning runs on Google Pixel 10 Pro at Q4_K_M (~10.1 GB of ~10.5 GB usable).

Needs ~10.1 GB Device usable ~10.5 GB

Fits at Q4_K_M (~10.1 GB of ~10.5 GB usable) but with little headroom. Close background apps, and expect slow generation on a phone.

That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. Google Pixel 10 Pro leaves ~0.4 GB of headroom.

Running cost · estimate

Pays for itself after
~2,323M tok

At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~4 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.07 in electricity. Versus a hosted API at ~$0.5 per million tokens, the ~$999 Google Pixel 10 Pro pays for itself after roughly 2,323 million tokens, so local hardware is mostly a fixed cost, not a per-token one. TDP is the peak draw, so this is an upper bound. Assumptions.

How to run it

On Android use PocketPal AI (Polished app, download GGUF and run offline.).

FAQ

Can Google Pixel 10 Pro run Phi-4-reasoning?

Yes. Phi-4-reasoning runs on Google Pixel 10 Pro at Q4_K_M (~10.1 GB of ~10.5 GB usable).

How much memory does Phi-4-reasoning need?

It is a tight fit on Google Pixel 10 Pro. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~8.43 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~10.1 GB at a 4k context.

What is the best tool to run Phi-4-reasoning on Android?

On Android, PocketPal AI (Polished app, download GGUF and run offline.) is the go-to option. NPU acceleration is limited and chip-specific; most apps run on CPU. Expect 1B-4B class.

Weights are measured from GGUF files; KV cache and overhead are computed, so totals can vary ~15% with context and runtime. Any tok/s is a bandwidth estimate. See methodology.
