The Pixel 10 retains a near-identical exterior to the Pixel 9 while adding a 5x telephoto lens and new colors like Indigo, paired with subtle internal upgrades. Battery life delivers all-day use and charging options include Qi2 and PixelSnap wireless charging, though reverse wireless charging has been removed. Android 16 with Material 3 Expressive integrates Gemini and numerous AI features across the interface to personalize tasks and speed common actions. Some AI tools prove genuinely useful while others feel unnecessary. Camera changes include both improvements and downgrades, and the Tensor G5 still trails rival processors in performance. Design updates remain evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
Google's new $800 Android smartphone looks almost identical to last year's Pixel 9, save for an additional 5x telephoto camera lens and some new colors, including the makes-me-smile Indigo blue. But like most new phones, there are a bunch of small upgrades internally that adfd up to a better daily experience, even if they're not revolutionary. All of that stuff is good and necessary for a new phonethough, there are some features that are a downgradebut the real star of the Pixel 10 is AI.
Google has injected a heavy dose of AI and Gemini into Android to make the Pixel 10 feel genuinely more personalized and helpful. The Pixel 10 is still fundamentally the touchscreen phone experience that Apple pioneered with the original iPhone. Android 16, with the new Material 3 Expressive design language, is still a home screen of app icons and widgets that you tap and swipe through. More than before, AI and Gemini are integrated in more places.
