With the Pixel 10 generation, Google finally adopted magnetic charging and accessories. It uses the "Pixelsnap" brand for its first-party products. You can grab a Google Pixel 10 at a solid €250 discount and score a free Pixelsnap wireless charger. The Google Pixel 9a is a more affordable alternative, though note that it will soon be replaced by the 10a. Anyway, this one also has a freebie, a Pixel case, on top of its €150 discount.

With the November Pixel Drop, Google Messages is introducing a new Remix feature that lets users edit and recreate images directly within the app. The feature is powered by Google's Nano Banana image generation model. Next, Google is rolling out AI-powered summaries for notifications from messaging apps. This feature will generate concise summaries for lengthy conversations directly in the notification shade. Additionally, starting in December, low-priority notifications will be automatically grouped and silenced under specific categories.

These aren't just polished, slick smartphones; they're also the first flagship Android phones with Qi2 wireless charging. That means there's a ring of magnets in the devices, just like Apple's iPhones, allowing you to connect to Qi2 and MagSafe accessories. If the Pixel 10 series is too spendy for you, you'll be happy to hear the Pixel 9a is also on sale for a mere $350 ($150 off).

The Pixel 10 series is here, and the vanilla Pixel 10 is the first full review we have ready for you. It also appears to be the Pixel 10 model that has received the most upgrades from Google this year. Besides the usual generational chipset upgrade, we also get display improvements, a new camera system, a slightly larger battery and even faster rated charging.

Google officially unveiled the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold last week, when it also started taking pre-orders for them. Today reports are starting to come in on social media about the first deliveries of those pre-orders taking place. This is notable because the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL are only expected to become available in stores tomorrow.

I was using the Google Pixel 10's new real-time voice translation feature in phone calls, which employs generative AI to listen to a snippet of your voice at the start of the call, and then generates an approximation (calls aren't recorded, and processing happens on the device). I could hear myself on her end, a familiar deep rumbling, except in a completely foreign language.

Earlier this year, Google introduced a Battery Health Assistance feature for the Pixel 9a. Since lithium-ion batteries degrade over time, Google explained in dedicated to the feature, it's actually beneficial for your battery to limit its capacity once it hits a certain number of charging cycles. This means that, over time, your phone will have a little shorter battery life each day and slower charging in return for a longer lifespan overall.

While the iPhone has virtually all of the smartest AI apps available from the latest AI trailblazers, it lacks the kind of deep integration of AI features that are only available at the intersection of the operating system and the latest hardware. That's what we've seen with the rollout of Google's Pixel 10 lineup. Here are seven features from AI leaders that would make a huge impact if they were seamlessly embedded at the system level in the iPhone 17.

For the past few years, I've dropped between $600 and $1,000 (depending on trade-in value and availability) every time Google has released a new phone. If you add in the latest , you can add roughly $400 to that total. It adds up. This year, with the price of everything increasing, spending upwards of $1,000 on a new phone/watch is hard to justify.

Google unveiled the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold a couple of days ago, but it seemingly forgot to announce a first-ever feature, which it only got to today. Namely, that these phones will be the first to offer support for placing WhatsApp voice and video calls via satellite connectivity.

New features in the Google Pixel 10 series include Qi2 wireless charging, a new dock mode feature that allows the phones to passively display the time, weather, photos, and even smart home controls when mounted on the new PixelSnap charging mount, slimmer front screen bezels, and better battery life. ZDNET managing editor Kerry Wan went hands-on with all four of the Google Pixel 10 models and was most impressed by the Pixel Pro XL.

Fallon, who likely had never heard the technical term before, didn't seem to realize that IP68 - a rating that indicates phones can survive being submerged in water - isn't all that interesting as a selling point, nor is this water resistance feature new to Google's Pixel line. It's been around since the 2018 Pixel 3. We're on the Pixel 10 now, for reference.

For the past few years, I've dropped between $600 and $1,000 (depending on trade-in value and availability) every time Google has released a new phone. If you add in the latest Pixel Watch, you can add roughly $400 to that total. It adds up. This year, with the price of everything increasing, spending upwards of $1,000 on a new phone/watch is hard to justify.

At , new and existing customers can get a Pixel 10 Pro for free or $1,000 off a Pixel 10 Pro XL when you trade in your current Google, Apple, Motorola, or Samsung phone (in any condition, with the Unlimited Ultimate plan). For those interested in the new foldable device, you can get $1,000 off a Pixel 10 Pro Fold when you trade in qualified phones.

Google's latest AI features include real-time translated phone calls in your own AI-generated voice, an AI camera coach that makes you a better Instagram husband, and a voicemail replacement. The hallmark of Google's Pixel phones has always been the software, whether that's through breakthroughs in computational photography or Google's call screening tech that blocks pesky robocalls. Google today announced the Pixel 10 series, alongside a smartwatch and wireless earbuds, and with them come a slew of new artificial intelligence features ready to wow you.

Every year in late summer, Google holds a "Made by Google" event. This is a hardware showcase where the company unveils its latest devices -- such as phones, watches, earbuds, and more. Unlike Google I/O, which is a springtime developer conference focused on software, this event is all about the Pixel and Google gadgets you'll soon be able to buy. Yes, there will likely be some software updates, but hardware is expected to steal the spotlight.

Recent reports indicate that the Pixel 10 series may introduce magnet-based Qi2 wireless charging technology, potentially improving charging capabilities over competitors like Samsung and Motorola.
