Tensor G5 & Gemini Nano

At the heart of Pixel 10 lies the Tensor G5, Google’s most advanced chip yet, designed in tandem with DeepMind. Unlike its predecessors, it is optimized for handling heavy generative AI tasks directly on-device, which means faster responses, stronger privacy, and reduced reliance on cloud servers. Powering it all is Gemini Nano, the most compact version of Google’s AI family, giving the phone the ability to run features like Magic Cue and Voice Translate seamlessly. For creators and professionals, the Pixel 10 Pro models also unlock a free year of Google AI Pro, which brings access to Google’s most creative AI engines, Imagen 4 for photorealistic image generation and Veo 3 for cinematic-quality video creation. This marriage of hardware and AI models sets the stage for everything else.

Magic Cue

Think of Magic Cue as Google’s reimagined assistant, one that doesn’t just answer questions but anticipates needs. It works by stitching together useful information across apps like Gmail, Calendar, Messages, and even screenshots you’ve saved, surfacing it at just the right moment. If someone texts you asking when your flight lands, Magic Cue doesn’t just give you options, it immediately suggests your itinerary details pulled from Gmail or Calendar. During a phone call, it can discreetly display the same info on screen so you don’t need to scramble. It also powers Daily Hub in the Pixel’s Discover feed, where each morning you’re greeted with personalized snippets: your agenda, top headlines, music playlists, or even deep-dive topics based on what you’ve been reading lately. All of this runs on-device, with full user control over what apps and data Magic Cue can access.

Voice Translate

Pixel’s new Voice Translate feature makes international communication almost effortless. You can place a call with someone who doesn’t speak your language and converse naturally, while Pixel translates in real time, keeping each person’s voice intact for a more authentic feel. For example, your English sentence comes through as fluent Japanese in your voice, while their Japanese reply returns as smooth English in theirs. This isn’t a robotic relay, it’s designed to feel conversational, with minimal delays and natural intonation. At launch, it supports translation across English, Spanish, German, Japanese, French, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Russian, and Indonesian, with more languages expected to follow. It’s a step toward making global communication as casual as chatting with a neighbor.

Take a Message

Not every call can be answered, and Pixel now handles that reality more intelligently. With Take a Message, callers who leave a note are instantly transcribed in real time, letting you read what they said without needing to listen back. But Pixel goes further, it offers smart suggestions for follow-up, like creating a reminder or drafting a quick reply. These transcripts integrate neatly with Call Notes, so if a conversation involves key details, like an address or appointment, you’ll have them stored in context. It’s like giving your voicemail a brain, making missed calls less disruptive and more actionable.

Gemini Live

Gemini Live, first introduced with Pixel 9, takes a leap forward with new visual intelligence. Now, when you share your camera view or even your phone screen with Gemini, it doesn’t just “see”, it actively guides you. For instance, if you’re trying to set up a tricky piece of equipment, Gemini can highlight exactly which button to press. On-screen, it can point to where you should tap next in an unfamiliar app. These interactions feel less like reading instructions and more like having someone by your side, pointing things out in real time. The update is rolling out first to Pixel 10, before making its way to older Android phones and eventually iOS.

What makes Gemini Live more powerful now is how tightly it connects with Google’s core apps. It already works with Calendar, Keep, and Tasks, but soon it will plug into Messages, Phone, Clock, and Maps as well. This means you could be mid-conversation with Gemini and ask it to reschedule a meeting, draft a quick text, or adjust your alarm for tomorrow, all without leaving the chat. If you’re on the go, Gemini Live can reroute your Maps navigation as you speak. It’s a natural extension of what voice assistants promised years ago, but with deeper intelligence and context.

Expressive Gemini

AI voices have come a long way, but Google is now pushing toward making them sound truly alive. With Expressive Gemini, you can fine-tune the way your assistant speaks, slowing down for clarity, speeding up when you’re in a rush, or even adopting a playful tone for storytelling. It can switch into character voices, adjust accents, or deliver dramatic intonations when asked to “make it sound fun.” Importantly, it adapts to mood: if you’re having a tense discussion, Gemini’s voice can lower into a calmer register, aiming to diffuse rather than escalate. This human-like flexibility makes conversations with AI feel less like commands and more like exchanges.

NotebookLM meets Pixel apps

Google’s AI research assistant, NotebookLM, now integrates directly with core Pixel tools. Screenshots and recordings captured on your device can be added instantly into your notebook, where Gemini can help organize and summarize them. Take a screenshot of a research paper or record a lecture, and NotebookLM will structure that content into themes, summaries, or even study questions. It turns everyday captures into a living, searchable archive, especially useful for students, researchers, or professionals juggling large amounts of information.

Pixel Journal

Journaling has been linked to better mindfulness and emotional health, and Pixel now builds it into the experience with Pixel Journal. Beyond just a blank page, the AI suggests prompts, nudges you to reflect on recent events, and even surfaces patterns in your entries over time. It’s designed to be private and secure, with the ability to lock entries behind authentication. Unlike traditional journaling apps, Pixel Journal isn’t just a container, it’s an active partner in helping you reflect and grow.

Gboard Writing Tools

Pixel’s keyboard is getting an AI infusion too. Writing Tools inside Gboard now go beyond predictive text. They automatically fix grammar and spelling, but also let you reframe your message in different tones, whether you want to sound more professional, more casual, more playful, or add a sprinkle of emojis. You can even speak commands like “make this sound more polite” or “add a bit of humor,” and the text transforms instantly. It makes writing not just faster, but more adaptable to context.

Recorder becomes a music studio

The humble Recorder app now has a creative twist. If you hum or sing a melody, Recorder can capture it and use AI to generate a full musical track in the style you choose, be it pop, jazz, hip-hop, or lo-fi. For anyone who’s ever had a tune stuck in their head but no way to express it, this is a breakthrough. It lowers the barrier to making music, transforming the phone into a pocket studio for casual creators and professionals alike.

Pixel 10 isn’t just another hardware refresh, it’s Google’s vision of AI as a daily companion. From predictive tools like Magic Cue to global communication with Voice Translate, from expressive conversations with Gemini to creative sparks in Recorder, the device feels like it’s designed not only to answer questions but to anticipate lives. By deeply embedding AI into the phone’s hardware and software, Google isn’t just keeping pace, it’s trying to redefine what a smartphone can be in an AI-first era.
