In a not-so-surprise move, Google has officially launched the Pixel 10 series globally, replacing the Pixel 9 as its flagship smartphone offering. The new devices, which were unveiled prior to the Made by Google event, bring a host of upgrades and new AI features to make the deal more tempting for premium smartphone buyers. While the star of the show is the new Tensor G5 chipset, Google has made enough changes to these phones to justify the premium pricing.
Other than the Tensor G5, the Pixel 10 series also introduced several new AI-driven features like Gemini Live, Circle to Search, and a new Gemini-powered Camera Coach, the latter designed to assist users in capturing the perfect shot. The PixelSnap magnetic wireless charging feature also aims to make charging a lot easier, just like Apple’s MagSafe.
