"Last year, Google proved it could make a phone that looks and feels like a true flagship, despite the software feeling like an AI jumble. This year, the Pixel 10 Pro starts to put AI features together in a way that actually makes sense - and it manages to upgrade the hardware a bit, too. Google has finally locked in a high-end finish and feature set for this phone, and it feels more polished than ever."
"The 10 Pro also represents a baby step from AI's party trick era to becoming genuinely useful on a mobile device. Magic Cue, which aims to surface information from your email and calendar contextually, lives up to its name for the most part - like the time it offered to put a coffee meetup with a friend on my calendar as we were hashing out the details over text."
The Pixel 10 Pro delivers a high-end finish, flagship processor, Android's version of MagSafe, and an excellent camera at a starting price of $999. Tensor G5, Google's fifth custom chipset and first made by TSMC, enables more on-device AI processing. Magic Cue surfaces email and calendar information contextually and runs in the background, sometimes proactively adding events like a coffee meetup from a text exchange. A camera feature runs a diffusion model on device. Some AI integrations feel thoughtfully useful while others appear included to meet an internal push to add AI everywhere. Exterior design remains similar to its predecessor.
