Google Unveiled Pixel 10 Smartphone Series : A New Era of AI-Powered Hardware Unveiled

Thursday, August 21, 2025 : Google took to the stage today for its highly anticipated “Made by Google” 2025 event, showcasing a product lineup that pushes the boundaries of hardware and artificial intelligence. The event centered around the theme of deeply integrated AI, with the new Gemini AI model powering a host of new features across a refreshed portfolio that includes the Pixel 10 smartphone series, the Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Buds 2a, and the all-new Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

The Headliner: Google Pixel 10 Series

The star of the show was undoubtedly the Google Pixel 10 series, which expands to four distinct models: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the new Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Each device is built around Google’s most significant silicon upgrade to date.

Processor: The Tensor G5 Chip

All four Pixel 10 models are powered by the new Tensor G5 chip, a custom-built processor that marks a major leap in performance and AI capability. Google claims the CPU is up to 34% faster than the previous generation. It features a fully custom Imaging Signal Processor (ISP) designed to enhance photography and videography, enabling a new suite of AI-driven tools. The chip works in tandem with the trusted Titan M2 security coprocessor to ensure user data remains secure.

AI and Software Features

The true innovation of the Pixel 10 series lies in its software, powered by the onboard Gemini AI. Key new features include:

• Magic Cue: A personalized intelligence system that provides proactive information and recommendations when you need them.
• Camera Coach: An AI assistant that analyzes your scene and offers real-time suggestions to help you capture the perfect shot.
• Gemini Live: An interactive feature allowing you to use your camera to ask Gemini questions about anything you see.
• Pixelsnap: A new Qi2-certified magnetic wireless charging system, similar to Apple’s MagSafe. It ensures perfect alignment for efficient charging and opens up a new ecosystem of magnetic accessories.

All phones ship with Android 16 and come with Google’s industry-leading promise of seven years of OS and feature updates.

Battery and Charging

• The Pixel 10 and 10 Pro support 30W wired charging and 15W wireless charging via Pixelsnap.
• The Pixel 10 Pro XL gets a boost with faster 45W wired charging and 25W Pixelsnap wireless charging.
• The new Pixel 10 Pro Fold also stands out by featuring a foldable 7.5-inch main display with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate and an outer 6.3-inch screen for quick access, both protected by durable materials and boasting an IP68 dust and water resistance rating—a first for foldables in the Pixel lineup.
