Google Launches New Pixel Devices And Gemini Capabilities
Google announced the 10th generation of its Pixel devices during the Made By Google event this Wednesday in New York. The tech giant highlighted new features, applications, and capabilities.
In a rush? Here are the quick facts:
- Google introduced the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold at its Made By Google event this week.
- The new devices include a refreshed design, faster performance, AI-driven enhancements, and improved camera lenses and features.
- Google launched Journal for AI-assisted journaling and Magic Cue for proactive device support.
According to Google’s The Keyword publication, the new Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL include the new Google Tensor G5 chip, the system Gemini Nano, and several improvements over last year’s Pixel 9 series.
“Today we introduced our 10th generation of phones: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL,” wrote Stephanie Scott, Product Manager at Google. “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.”
The new Pixel generation features an optimized wireless charging system with Qi2 Pixelsnap accessories, improved cameras, and four new color options: Lemongrass, Indigo, Frost, and Obsidian.
Prices start at $799 for the Pixel 10 and go up to $1,799 for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold—a foldable smartphone competing against devices like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. Pre-orders are open now, with deliveries beginning August 28.
Google also launched a new special journaling app for its Pixel 10 devices called Journal, which organizes and stores entries, including prompts and AI-powered personalization.
Another new AI-powered app, Magic Cue, acts as a “proactive support” tool to help users find relevant information on their devices.
Google emphasized the upgraded camera system, featuring improved telephoto lenses, faster autofocus, and enhanced zoom. Gemini also supports photography with the new Camera Coach, which helps users learn foundational concepts and capture better photos.
“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,” added Scott.
