Audit Google Pixel 10: New Standard Smartphone

Google marked the tenth generation of pixels With four new smartphones. Although “Pro” and folding pixels 10 can have specifications without compromise (and prices that are matched), Google is a fault between the input level 10 and those premium devices. This year, the basic pixel 10 has a larger battery, a new 5k zoomed in telephoto cameras and almost as many as functions as a leading pixel of 10 percent and pixels 10 prologue.

If it is set by a famous person made by Google event, the company sets many more efforts (and money) in making pixels of true threat to the Galaxy with a series and iPhones and convey that message to everyone. Pixel 10 deserves those comparisons and in many ways it’s a better smartphone.

Hardware and display

Google’s 10. Generation of pixels Look much like their predecessors. There is a protruding unit for cameras in the shape of a tablet, which is a central design floral. This is significant, which still looks like a small dish, but also doubles as a kind of compression for my index finger while holding the phone, something I noticed after a year of use of Pixel 9 Pro. Google has also refreshed the pixel family color range. Both colorful blue (indigo) and mild yellow (limonguras) shades are welcoming typical black and white shades.

Refresh rate of 6.3-inch screen remains tops to 120Hz, but it is now quite standard throughout the middle devices and up. Even input level Pixel 9a has the same unobstructed experience of moving. However, Google turned up the brightness of Pixel 10, and now it is top to 3,000 nits, which is a slight increase of 2,700 niceta to Pixel 9. The screen is maximally on 2,000 nonds at its brightest setting for HDR, which also bumped from pixels 9. Google also intensified sound quality on pixel 10 to be noticeably less small and small Basian than previous pixels.

Another addition is Pixelsnapwhich is basically Magsafe for pixels. The integration of wireless charging is largely the same, with magnets that secure the device firmly on filling packs, supplements and connectors. It was easily done with a series of wireless chargers, although the options supported Ki2 are still rarer than they should be. You are more likely to find a wireless charger with Magsafe brand from third party companies, but they do not achieve faster speeds of Ki2.

If you feel the conductor, Google’s official charger is 70 dollars and reaches speeds up to 25V, while there is a pixel popsocket-like-pixel pixel that can crack on the back of the phone. In addition, PIKEL 10 series supports most MagSafe peripheral devices that iPhone users enjoy From 2020. Years.

Camera

The big hardware upgrade this year is the camera. The photo unit includes a wide angle of 48 megapixels, 13MP sensor with ultra-wide lenses and 10.8 MP 5KS cameras. For a base telephone, it is an impressive combination, although it does not match the agreement on the senior resolutions found in Pikel 10 Pro – or last year’s pixel 9 Pro.

This new telephone lens is not some middle 2K or 3K zoom, but a 5K zoom that puts it outside the rival at a similar price, such as the Galaxy S25 (3K zoom) and iPhone 16s. Maager 2K optical zoom. It’s like using a pixel Pro, with extra circumcised zoom to 10k and (less consistent) Super RS ​​zoom to 20k. This is a significant step for the base model and something I am sure to see the above-mentioned rivals are likely to try to match. Simply put, pixel 10 is just a better, more versatile camera phone than, say, Galaxy S25.

I tested telephoto from Pixel 10 against 9 PRO-PROs, and differences and crispness, which is understandable because it has many more than 48MP sensor. However, this does not diminish the leap and in detail and shooting range compared to the basic pixel 9 from last year.

Pixel 10 can also record a 10-bit HDR video now, although it does not offer 8K videos PIKEL 10 PRO 8K, night visioned video and super res. No video reinforcement, not, which transmits footage in Google’s cloud to improve online.

There are plenty of other significant characteristics of the camera on board, including a low light night shot, or Add mewhich is still the function of standing pixels since last year and are not yet replicated by rivals. For those who missed my praise last yearAdd me stabs together two groups of groups, which took two different people. The mode is running users to set footage, which means that your groups of photos finally involve a person who takes them away (I).

Coaches Camera is an intriguing addition to the image of the Pixel camera. Above the viewfinder, there is a new camera icon with plus sign in the upper right corner. Tapping makes it flash screen, and the coach will offer several proposals for transfer and photography. It will also add a get inspired option that goes a little more avant-garde, generating thumbnails of possible results based on the sample that has taken, filling the gaps by generative AI.

I showed up a coach, ready to criticize my basic proposals or common ideas. But, you know what, it’s not bad. With the hooks in Gemini AI, the regime will offer angle, lighting and proposals for the composition. You can also choose whether to emphasize, say, a pattern of some leaves or backgrounds behind it or a group of people on the side. While the function uses Google’s Tensor G5 chip for shooting analysis, it requires an internet connection.

Software

Thanks to the tensor G5 chip, Pixel 10 can run the latest Google Nano model Gemini Nano on the device. This means that generative AI experiences can be used now without the need for connectivity. However, as I mentioned with the Camera Coach, it is not always the case.

However Magic Cue yeah Work without calling his answers from the cloud. And when it works, that’s what I’ve been looking for for years from AI assistants. After getting your approval, the Gemini enters your screenshots, calendar, gmail accounts and more. Magic Cue will retire in the information you need, hopefully, where you need. For example, this email address for this comedy show place your friend wants cards for or to show the calendar to show accessibility when a friend asks what your plans for the weekend are. These judges are highlighted by the debt “Aura”, which became de facto visual abbreviation for artificial intelligence. This is just the beginning: Google will eventually add the ability to magic chance to touch your photos, suggesting images when someone mentioned in text messages, e-mailes and more.

Magic Cue has several blind spots. As my colleague I Rutherford noticed in my Pixel 10 Pro examination, I found it especially in calendar signs, often failing to identify dates or times on screens or emails. Also missed the main area where I want all this information: third-party messaging applications. But hey, if you use Google Messages, you’re good to go.

Google’s almost currently instant voice translation during a call is also impressive. Management editor Cherlinn low exhibited how it worksAnd while it’s a technical miracle, I’m not sure how much I would use the feature for high stakes like reservations or traveling.

I also liked to transfer the message, which transmits calls when you can’t answer. However, just like me, while I tested a similar feature of Apple during my IOS 26 OverviewOr I instinctively responded to calls (Ed. Note: Mat is obviously a different sample from other people) or people did not leave their voicemail.

Lots of smaller upgrades of existing tools and functions on the pixel 10. Gemini live, who can “see” through your camera, now can also provide visual guidelines, highlighting items on the screen after listening to your request or question. Notebooklm It is now integrated with pixel screens and recorder and recorder. If the former detects something that could be useful to the existing Notebook project, it will suggest it by adding to easier access.

There are also writing tools (sound) famous?) Within GBOO, which can set up your existing prose to certain writing styles. It will even suggest which Emojis adds to MIX. For now, it is only compatible with us English, so that’s not mine favorite Favorite. There is also a new Pixel Journal app, which sounds quite familiar Also. I briefly tested it during the day I had a phone, but if you haven’t found a magazine yet, it’s a perfect fine, with AI-propelled suggestions about what to write and the ability to address photos and other details that your smartphone can apply. Something that is not obvious during my examination was that the magazine application will find out about your writing pattern and offer insights to how often you write and write more.

Battery performance and duration

Google says that its new Tensor G5 Chip 34 percent faster than last year’s G4, while TPU (Tensor Processing Unit, UGH) is 60 percent faster in AI and tasks. Like Geekbench 6 performance applications cannot be installed on pixel devices before phones go for sale, so I could not quantify the upgrade. I can feel these improvements with harder processing tasks, such as transcription, translation and image production, in applications such as PIKEL STUDIO. Pixel 10 also had no problems doing graphic intense games like Infiniti Nikki and Zenless Zone Zero, And it seemed faster to load most applications compared to the pixel phones of the past. Google’s tensor chips are definitely compensated.

I am an anecdotally using Google’s pixels and functions (and twin) significantly more than other Android devices I used and tested. In addition to comparable and tasks, such as rewriting interviews, the G5 tensor seems to be able to submit more effectively in less time.

Pixel 10 has a 4,970MHAH battery, which is not only higher than pixels 9 (4,700mAh), but also pixels 10 Pro (4,870mAh). However, Pixel 10 does not match 27 hours plus Pixel Working Time 9. Launching the video, this year’s phone lasted about 22 hours, which is a little disappointing given on specifications. I will say and I will update this review if the results are different.

PIKEL 10 supports wired billing to 30V, returns to over 50 percent in less than 30 minutes. It can also be charged wirelessly up to 15V, thanks to Support for Ki2. It is an improvement, but not Ki2.2 such as pixels 10 PRO XL, which can reach 25 V.

Wrapping

Pixel 10 redefines what we should expect from basic smartphones. With Apple’s Next iPhone just around the corner, Google has added a 5K telephoto camera, rounding photo-buyer for photos while increasing it with multiple twin connections. The camera coach may not be for everyone, but Magic Cue – like pixel pixel recording last year – is a look into the future as we will use AI on smartphones.

Pixel 10 is a significant upgrade from pixels 9, although considering that the G5 chip tensor, shame is that software features like zooming reinforce last year’s pixels did not make a cut. Unless you’re a player with a smartphone of Die-Hard Pametam, there’s no more capable smart phone at this price.
