The new Pixel 10 series demonstrates Google’s AI leadership, arriving ahead of Apple’s iPhone 17. The smartphones expand on the Pixel 9’s AI features, including Gemini Live, call notes, and AI image-generation tools.
Live conversations via Gemini have grown five times longer than text interactions. Pixel 10 introduces Visual Overlays, Magic Cue, Camera Coach, Voice Translate, Take a Message, and Pixel Journal.
Visual Overlays can guide users through what the camera sees, Magic Cue provides contextual suggestions in real time, and Camera Coach offers photography tips. Auto Best Take and Ask Photos enhance image capture and editing.
Voice Translate translates calls in multiple languages in real time. Take a Message captures missed calls and suggests next steps, while Pixel Journal encourages tracking progress and personal reflection.
Other updates include AI writing tools in Gboard, improved Pixel Studio screenshots, and Notebook LM integrations for Recorder and screenshots. Tensor G5 and Gemini Nano enable all features.
