Google targets Apple's Achilles' heel with new AI-powered smartphone
Briefly

Google unveiled a new Pixel 10 lineup that adds expanded on-device artificial intelligence across four models. The phones integrate features that fetch vital information stored on devices and assist photography in real time. Magic Cue recognizes contextual triggers, such as an incoming call to an airline, and displays relevant details from Gmail or Google Calendar instantly. Camera Coach previews suggest optimal framing, lighting angles, and lens modes while composing shots. Google has been steadily increasing AI capabilities since 2023 and positioned the Pixel lineup to accelerate AI adoption. The lineup includes premium Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL models.
Google on Wednesday unveiled a new line-up of Pixel smartphones injected with another dose of artificial intelligence that's designed to do everything from fetch vital information stored on the devices to help improve photos as they're being taken. The AI expansion on the four Pixel 10 models amplifies Google's efforts to broaden the use of a technology that is already starting to reshape society.
Taking advantage of a more advanced processor, Google is introducing a new AI feature on the Pixel 10 phones called "Magic Cue" that's designed to serve as a digital mind reader that automatically fetches information stored on the devices and displays the data at the time it's needed. For instance, if a Pixel 10 user is calling up an airline, Magic Cue is supposed to instantaneously recognize the phone number and display the flight information if it's in Gmail or a Google Calendar.
