Google Pixel 10: The new smartphone standard

Google was distinguished by the tenth generation of pixel units With four new smartphones. Although the “Pro” and Pixel 10 -folding models may contain unexpected specifications (and the prices that match with it), Google has cleared the lines between beginners pixels 10 and those distinct devices. This year, Pase Pixel 10 has a larger battery, new Telephoto camera 5x Zoom and Mant the largest number of AI features such as Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

If the event downloaded by Google is an event, the company is doing more (and money) to make the pixels a real threat to the Galaxy S and iPhone series, and transfer that message to everyone. Pixel 10 deserves these comparisons, in many ways, is the best smartphone.

Devices and display

Google The tenth generation of pixels They look a lot like their ancestors. There is a camera unit in the form of birth control pills, which is the central design that flourishes. It is a big thing, which still looks a little, but it also doubles as a kind of fist of the index finger while carrying the phone, something I noticed a year after using Pixel 9 Pro. Google has also updated the Pixel family colors. Both bright blue shades (Nile) and yellow (lemon) (lemon) are welcome additions to the typical white and white shapes.

The 6.3 -inch screen update is still at 120 Hz, but this is now largely normally across medium -range devices. Even beginners Pixel 9A He has the same experience as a smooth scrolling. However, Google has strengthened the brightness of the Pixels 10, as it reached its climax now at 3000 February, which is a slight increase of 2700 reunions on Pixel 9. The screen features a maximum of 2000 combinations in the most beautiful HDR, which is also a pixel 9. Google also strengthened sound quality on pixels 10 to be less young and more than the previous Basil.

Another addition PixelsnapIt is mainly the Xx Seic. The integration of wireless charging is largely the same, with the magnet that firmly connects the device with charging, accessories and sidewalks. I have worked easily with a group of wireless charging devices, although the qi2 options are still rare. You are likely to find a wireless charger bearing the Magsafe brand of third -party companies such as Belkin, but they do not achieve faster recharge speeds for QI2.

If you feel satisfied, the official Google Pixelsnap charger is $ 40 (or $ 70 with a holder) and up to up to 25 watts, while there is a Popsuk -like pixel holder that can move to the back of the phone. Note that Pixel 10 can only charge up to 15 watts, though. In addition, the Pixel 10 series supports most of the Magsafe peripherals enjoyed by IPHONE users Since 2020.

camera

The upgrade of large devices this year is cameras. The photo unit includes a wide 48 -megapixel angle, a 13 -megapixel sensor with a wide range and 5x 5x phone camera. For the primary phone, it is an impressive mix, although it does not fully match the high-resolution sensors in Pixel 10 Pro-Pixel 9 Pro last year.

This new close lens is not some 2x or 3x zooming, but 5x zoomus exceeds competitors at a similar price point, such as Galaxy S25 (3x Zoom). The iPhone 16 does not have a phone lens and makes the digital miniature “visual quality”. It is like using Pixel Pro, with additional, cut up to 10x and UP (less consistent) Super RES up to 20x. This is an important step for the basic model and something I am sure that we will see the above competitors. They are likely to try to match. Simply put, Pixel 10 is just a better and more varied camera phone than, for example, Galaxy S25.

I tested Pixel 10 V against 9 Pro, and there were noticeable differences in detail and pumpkin, which is understandable because the latter has a 48 -megapixel sensor much higher. However, this does not detract from the jump in each of the details and the scope of photography compared to the basic pixel 9 last year.

Pixel 10 can also capture the HDR 10 -bit video now, although it does not provide 8k Pixel 10 Pro video, Night Sight Video and Super ResOOM Video. There is no video batch, which you download footage to Google’s Cloud to enhance the Internet.

There are a lot of other prominent camera features on board, including the launch of a low -light club, or Add me,, Which is still a prominent pixel camera feature last year and has not been copied by competitors yet. For those who missed them My praise last yearAdd to me two collective photos together, taken by two different people. The situation directs users to line up the clips, which means that your group’s pictures can finally include the person who takes them all (I).

The camera coach is an exciting addition to the pixel camera experience. Above the camera lens, there is a new camera icon with an overly mark in the upper right corner. Clicking on this makes the screen flash, and the trainer will make multiple suggestions to take pictures. It will also add an option inspired by the Get Wort heading a little more, generating mini images of potential results based on the sample that took it, filling the gaps with obstetric artificial intelligence.

The coach has launched a willingness to criticize his basic suggestions or sound ideas. But you know what, this is not bad. With the hooks in Guemini AI, the situation will provide the angle suggestions, lighting and configuration. You can also choose whether to emphasize the pattern of some leaves, the background behind it or the group of people to the side. Although the feature uses the Google G50 chip to analyze the shots, it requires an internet connection.

programming

Thanks to the Chip Tensor G5, Pixel 10 can run the latest Gemini Nano on the device. This means that artificial intelligence experiences can now be used without the need to communicate. However, as I mentioned with the camera coach, this is not always the case.

However, the magic is a braid Do Work without the need to call her answers from the cloud. And when it works, this is what I wanted from artificial intelligence assistants for years. After getting your permission, Gemini enters the screenshots, calendar, Gmail accounts and more. Magic Cue will pull the information you need, and we hope, where you need it. For example, the email address of this comedy place that your friend wants tickets, or pays your calendar to show his availability when a friend asks about your weekend plans. This sermon is highlighted by the “aura” of the rainbow that has become the actual visual reduction of artificial intelligence. This is only the beginning: Google will eventually add Magic Cue to take advantage of your photos, and suggest images when someone is mentioned in text messages, emails and more.

Magic braid has some blind spots, though. My colleague Sam Radford also noticed in the Pixel 10 Pro review, I found that it is especially difficult with calendar signals, and often failed to determine the dates or times of screenshots or emails. It also lacks a major area where I want all this information: third -party messaging applications. But hey, if you are using Google messages, you are fine.

The vocal translation in Google is almost impressive as well. Editor’s management Sherlene Lu Set how that worksAnd although it is a technical miracle, I am not sure how much the feature is used for high risk conversations such as reserving accommodations or sorting travel problems.

I also liked to take a message, which copies calls when you cannot answer. However, just as I did during the Apple feature test during my country IOS 26 previewEither I answered the calls instinctively (ED. Note: What is clear that a different sample of people from us) Or people did not leave voice mail messages.

There are a lot of simple upgrades for the tools and features on Pixel 10. GIMINI LIVE, which can “see” through the camera or read what is on the screen, can also provide visual instructions, highlighting the objects on the screen after hearing your request or question. Notebooklm Now it is integrated with pixels and recorded clips. If the first discovers something that might be useful for the current Notebooklm project, it will be suggested adding it for easy access.

There are also writing tools (sound familiar?) Inside GBoard, which can be re -equipped your current prose in the specified writing patterns. Even the emojis that must be added to the mixture will be suggested. At the present time, this is only compatible with the English language for us, so it is not me favorite favorite. There is also a new Pixel magazine application, which looks like Very familiar also. I tested this shortly for the days when you received the phone, but if you have not found the application/notebook/diary for the magazine so far, it is a completely good option, with suggestions supported by artificial intelligence about what to write about and the ability to attach pictures and other details that can record your smartphone. There was something that was not clear during my evaluation was that the Journal will learn about your writing patterns and provide visions about the number of times you write, and when you usually write and more.

Performance and battery life

Google says the new G5 chip is 34 percent of the G4 last year, while TPU (tensioner, UGH) unit is 60 percent faster in artificial intelligence tasks. Performance test applications such as Geekbench 6 can not be installed on pixels before selling phones, so I could not determine the upgrade. I can feel these improvements with heavier processing tasks, such as copying, translation and images generation, in applications like Pixel Studio. Pixel 10 also had no problems operating intensive games like Infiniti Nikki and Zenless Zero Zero, It appears faster to download most applications compared to pixel phones in the past. Google tension chips are definitely attached to the knee.

Shortly, I find myself using Google’s Pixel AI features (and criminals) more than other Android devices that I used and experienced. Through similar artificial intelligence tasks, such as copying the interview, Tensor G5 appears to deal with it more efficiently, which achieves less results.

Pixel 10 has a 4,970 mAh battery, which is not only larger than pixels 9 (4,700 mAh) but also Pixel 10 Pro (4,870mah). However, Pixel 10 does not fully match the 27 -hour -old time of the pixel 9. A episode video, this year’s phone lasted about 22 hours, which is somewhat disappointing due to the specifications. I will re -test and update this review if the results differ.

Pixel supports 10 wire charging up to 30 watts, and returns to more than 50 percent in less than 30 minutes. Fees can also be imposed on up to 15 watts, thanks to the support of QI2. This is an improvement, but it is not Qi2.2 like Pixel 10 Pro XL, which can reach 25W wireless charging.

conclusion

Pixel 10 redefines what we must expect from the main main smartphones. With Apple The following iPhone is just around the corner, Google added a 5X phone camera, providing pixel photographic clips, however, with more features that Gemini works. The camera coach may not be for everyone, but Magic Cue – like Pixel shots last year – is a glimpse of the future of how to use artificial intelligence on smartphones.

Pixel 10 is a large upgrade from Pixel 9, although it contains the G5 Tensor chip, but it is a shame to enhance software features such as Zoom from the pixels units last year. Unless they are a militant smartphone games, there is no smartphone more capable of this price.
