The Tensor G5 Chip: The AI Powerhouse Within
The brand-new Tensor G5 chip is at the center of the experience. This engine was created especially for Google’s cutting-edge AI and machine learning models. Features that are just not achievable on other phones are made available by the Tensor G5, which significantly improves the performance and efficiency of the Pixel 10. It’s the secret to the longer battery life, the brains behind the new Gemini features, and the magic behind the camera.
Camera Hardware & Software: A New Era of Mobile Photography
The Pixel 10 camera system sees its biggest hardware leap in years.
- Main Sensor: Both models have a new 50 MP Octa PD wide camera with a larger sensor that captures incredibly extra light for amazing low-light performance.
- Pixel 10 Pro Exclusives: The Pixel 10 Pro camera includes a 48 MP ultrawide lens with a new 5x optical telephoto lens and improved macro focus. Combined with Google’s industry-leading Super Res Zoom, this allows for stunningly clear photos at up to 30x.
New features of the software add an “AI director” for video, which you can color-grade, stabilize, and reframe your shots like a professional, and an even more powerful Magic Editor that offers more generative, precise AI edits.
AI and Gemini Integration: Your Phone is Now Your Assistant
The Artificial Intelligence features of Pixel 10 are smarter than before, thanks to deep integration with Gemini.

These on-device AI features are more private, faster, and powerful than ever before.
