"Powerful and proactive: Pixel 10 phones are here!" introduces Google's 10th gen Pixel phones. Pixel 10 boasts a refreshed design, recycled materials, and comes in four expressive colors. The phones run on the new Tensor G5 chip and Gemini Nano for personalized AI experiences. Magic Cue proactively offers helpful info in apps, like flight details during airline calls. Pixel 10 Pro gets Pro Res Zoom, using AI to capture amazing detail at up to 100x zoom.
Today we introduced our 10th generation of phones: Pixel 10 , Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL . Powered by the all-new Google Tensor G5 chip and our newest Gemini Nano model , they’re our most personalized, proactive and helpful Pixels ever — and they come with a refreshed design and plenty of hardware updates.
Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL refine the iconic camera bar, come with Pixelsnap for built in Qi2 wireless charging — and a range of new magnetic accessories — and are made with the most recycled materials yet for a Pixel.
These phones will be the first to feature Material 3 Expressive , our latest UI that brings more personalization and fluidity to your phone with springy animations and smooth interactions — a perfect complement to our refreshed Pixel 10 design. And your phone will continue to feel fresh and secure with seven years of Pixel Drops as well as OS and security updates.
Pixel 10 features a satin-finish metal frame, polished glass back and our iconic camera bar. You’ll have four expressive color options to choose from, too: Obsidian, Frost, Indigo and Lemongrass. Its 6.3-inch Actua display is now even brighter at 3000 nits making for easy viewing. That’s paired with improved audio, including exceptional bass so your favorite shows sound and look better than ever.
Pixel 10 also comes with huge camera improvements. That includes the first 5x telephoto lens on this tier of Pixel with fast autofocus, 10x optical quality and up to 20x zoom with Super Res Zoom — so it's easier to shoot from a distance.
Pixel 10 Pro delivers the ultimate Pixel experience with our most premium design, brightest Super Actua displays and our best triple rear camera system yet. Available in two sizes (6.3-inches) and Pixel 10 Pro XL (6.8-inches) for an uncompromised choice of size. You can grab them in Obsidian and Porcelain as well as new colors: Moonstone and Jade. And with Pro Res Zoom, you can reach up to 100x zoom only on Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL.
Our pro phone upgrades extend across nearly every area of these devices. They feature our biggest batteries, upgraded speakers, 16 GB of RAM and faster wired charging while Pixel 10 Pro XL supports 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging.
Tensor G5 , our new custom silicon, is the most significant upgrade to our chip since Tensor’s debut. It delivers snappy performance while bringing deeply helpful experiences to Pixel users first. And thanks to co-design with Google DeepMind, the newest Gemini Nano model will run first on Tensor G5 to unlock many on-device generative AI experiences that make everyday life easier.
With Pixel 10, we’re introducing Magic Cue . It meets you in some of your favorite apps — like Google Messages and the Phone app — to proactively offer the right information at the right time— like finding those perfect cat photos whenever mom asks me. Magic Cue isn’t just a single app or feature, it’s proactive support, tightly woven across your phone to offer relevant info and helpful actions, saving you time and effort.
For instance, when you're calling an airline, it can automatically find your flight details from your email and display it during your phone call. It helps you both recall information and take action, too — whether it's providing an address for dinner or finding the right photos to share with a friend, all without leaving your chat. With your permission, Tensor G5 and the latest version of Gemini Nano work together to run Magic Cue privately and securely on your phone.
Pixel 10 is more than a great camera; it will make you a better photographer, too.
Camera Coach uses Gemini models to suggest ways to improve your photos — like choosing different framing and composition for a shot. Built for those of us early on in our photography journey, Camera Coach will teach foundational concepts while inspiring you to capture images in entirely new ways.
Pixel cameras have always been known for their zoom, but the new Pro Res Zoom gets you really close. Exclusive to the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL, Pro Res Zoom captures astonishing detail at up to 100x zoom. It isn't just a simple crop; Pro Res Zoom uses Tensor G5 and an all-new generative imaging model to intelligently recover and refine intricate details.
This is a major leap forward in generative AI, built specifically for Pixel Camera's imaging pipeline and optimized to take full advantage of the new Tensor G5 chip. Pro Res Zoom is the largest AI model ever used on Pixel Camera, helping deliver the highest-quality zoom on a smartphone. 1
Pixel 10 , Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are all available for preorder today starting at $799, $999 and $1199. Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL owners will also get a full year of Google AI Pro .

Google has announced the Pixel 10 Pro on its official blog, The Keyword. The opinions and analysis here are our own; specs are cited from Google's official announcement (see sources below).
Official facts: the Pixel 10 Pro is powered by a Tensor G5 with 16GB of RAM; the display is a 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO running 1–120Hz with up to 3,300 nits peak brightness; software debuts Magic Cue contextual AI (surfacing relevant info at the right moment); the battery is 4,870mAh, with storage up to 1TB. Google lists pricing from US$999.99.
Our take: the Pixel 10 Pro's pitch is clear — it isn't the winner of the spec arms race, but the Android with the most complete software and AI experience. Tensor G5 was never about benchmarks; it's about powering contextual AI like Magic Cue, live translation, call assistance and computational photography. The 6.3-inch size is a rare combination of one-hand-friendly and genuinely bright (3,300 nits), and paired with Pixel's class-leading camera processing and fastest updates, the experience is sticky. The honest trade-off: Tensor still trails Qualcomm's top flagships in raw performance and efficiency, so heavy gaming and extreme thermals are weaker; and some of the headline AI features gradually trickle down to cheaper Pixels. It's ideal for people who value the camera, AI and a clean system — hardcore gamers and benchmark chasers should compare further.
An honest note: pricing, colors and availability follow Google's regional sites and carriers; some AI features (including Magic Cue) may roll out by region, language and timing (this model was announced 2025-08-20 with sales from 2025-08-28).
Pros
- Magic Cue contextual AI debut, plus Pixel's class-leading camera processing
- A 6.3-inch panel balancing one-hand use with high brightness (3,300 nits)
- The cleanest Android with the fastest system updates
Cons
- Tensor G5 still trails top Qualcomm flagships in raw performance and efficiency
- Some headline AI features gradually trickle down to cheaper models
- AI features roll out by region/language and aren't available everywhere
