Pixel 10 Series is Here
Google has launched the latest Pixel 10 Series. The lineup brings on-device Gemini AI and a new Tensor G5 chip. It also adds brighter displays, smarter cameras, and a stronger safety suite. In this story, we break down exactly what’s new. We focus on features that change daily use. We skip generic specs and marketing talk. Let’s dive into the upgrades that matter.
Gemini on-device, now more capable
With the Pixel 10 Series, Gemini AI is now built directly into every phone. Users can start natural hands-free chats using Gemini Live, or share their screen and camera for guided help. In addition, Gemini can now manage multi-step actions across apps with just one prompt. For those choosing the Pro models, Google adds one year of Google AI Pro, unlocking advanced productivity and creative features.
New Tensor G5 unlocks speed and battery gains
At the heart of the lineup is the Tensor G5 chip. Its TPU offers up to 60% more compute power for AI-driven tasks, while the CPU brings a 34% speed boost. Thanks to up to 16GB RAM on the Pro and Fold models, the devices handle multitasking and app switching with ease. Furthermore, battery life extends beyond 24 hours, and with Extreme Battery Saver, it can last up to 120 hours.
First triple camera on non-Pro Pixel
For the first time, Pixel 10 features a triple camera system. The phone includes a 5x telephoto lens with Super Res Zoom up to 20x. Moreover, new AI tools such as Camera Coach suggest better angles, modes, and lighting in real time. Features like Auto Best Take merge similar shots into one, while the enhanced Add Me option ensures the photographer can join even larger groups.
Pro camera upgrades and 100x zoom
Moving to the Pro models, Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL deliver bigger upgrades. They feature a 48MP ultrawide, an improved 5x telephoto, and a 42MP front camera with autofocus. On top of that, they introduce 100x Pro Res Zoom, sharper high-res portraits, and steadier footage with Video Boost. As a result, photos and videos look sharper, more stable, and more detailed.
Fold gets creation tools on a bigger canvas
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold offers new ways to capture and edit on its 8-inch Super Actua Flex display. With Instant View, users can see their last photo beside the live camera feed. Dual Screen Preview allows subjects to view themselves before the shutter clicks. In addition, the Rear Camera Selfie feature lets you take higher-quality selfies using the main rear cameras.
Magic Cue anticipates next steps
Another fresh addition is Magic Cue, which works like a proactive assistant. It suggests context-aware information and actions exactly when needed. For example, it can pull a restaurant location from your calendar and share it in a single tap. Similarly, it can surface flight details during a call to your airline. Because Magic Cue runs directly on Tensor G5, the entire process remains private and secure.
Brighter displays across the board
When it comes to displays, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL deliver peak brightness of 3,300 nits on their Super Actua screens. The standard Pixel 10 follows closely with a 6.3-inch Actua panel reaching 3,000 nits. Meanwhile, the Pro Fold features an 8-inch inner screen and a brighter 6.4-inch outer display. Beyond brightness, Google introduces Material 3 Expressive, which adds smoother animations, customizable Quick Settings, and fresh themes.
Pixelsnap magnetic ecosystem and faster Qi2 charging
Charging gets a major upgrade with Pixelsnap, a magnetic system built into all Pixel 10 devices. Accessories such as chargers, stands, and grips now snap securely into place, even with Pixelsnap cases. On top of that, the new Pixelsnap Charger supports Qi2 wireless charging at up to 25W, enabling faster and more convenient top-ups.
Safety, durability, and long support
Security and safety also receive attention in the Pixel 10 Series. The phones now feature theft detection that auto-locks after suspicious movement, while Remote Lock instantly secures a lost device. The Personal Safety Suite adds Emergency SOS, Car Crash Detection, and Crisis Alerts. Even in areas without signal, satellite connectivity ensures emergency messages go through. Alongside safety, the build quality includes Gorilla Glass Victus 2, an IP68 rating, and seven years of OS, security, and Pixel Drop updates.
Design refinements and a tougher fold
On the design side, the Pixel 10 introduces slimmer bezels and a borderless visor for a modern look. Pro models elevate the finish with silky matte glass and polished metal accents. As for the Fold, it gains a high-strength, gearless hinge designed for durability over a decade of use. To complete the refresh, Pixel 10 adds bold shades like Indigo, Frost, and Lemongrass, while Pro variants expand the palette with Moonstone, Jade, and Porcelain.
