ultra-wide, and, for the first time, a 10MP 5× telephoto. Meanwhile, the Pro and Pro XL models take imaging to another level with a 50MP main sensor, 48MP ultra-wide, and 48MP telephoto, plus AI-powered “Super Res” zoom that reaches up to 100× magnification. Video shooters also benefit, with sharper 8K capture and new Pro Res editing tools built right in. Displays and design that shine The Google Pixel 10 doesn’t just look good – it shines, literally. Its 6.3-inch OLED display now peaks at a dazzling 3,000 nits, for easy visibility in direct sunlight. The Pro keeps the same display size but introduces an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120Hz for smoother scrolling, while the Pro XL stretches to 6.8 inches for those who love a bigger, more immersive screen. Wireless charging also sees improvements, with the Pro XL supporting faster 25W Qi2 speeds compared to 15W on the other models. And every Pixel 10 phone now benefits from Pixelsnap, Google’s new magnetic Qi2 system that makes docking and charging feel seamless. A smarter evolution Compared to the Google Pixel 9a, the Pixel 10 series represents a leap forward, elevated by a new chipset, brighter screens, telephoto capabilities, and a suite of intelligent AI features. Ultimately, the Pixel 10 series isn’t about radical changes but rather making smartphones genuinely smarter, and Google has delivered a compelling upgrade for users.

Google’s new Pixel 10 family is here, and the line-up doubles down on what Pixels do best: advanced AI, serious camera power, and thoughtful upgrades that make everyday use smarter and more enjoyable.

stepping in proactively rather than waiting for you to ask. Magic Cue anticipates your needs in real time – picture calling a hotel and having your reservation details appear automatically from Gmail or Calendar, all without lifting a finger. Moreover, Live Translate now renders real-time conversations

using the caller’s own voice, for more natural conversations across languages. Cameras that coach Photography has always been a Pixel phone’s strength, and the Pixel

10 series pushes it further. A brand-new tool called Camera Coach offers real-time guidance while you’re shooting, giving tips on framing, lighting, and angles so your snapshots can look pro grade. The base Pixel 10 comes with a triple-lens system, including a 48MP wide sensor, a 13MP
