Introduction: For years, Google has promised a truly “AI-first” phone. With the 2026 release of the Pixel 10 Pro, they have finally delivered. Powered by the homegrown Tensor G5 chip (manufactured by TSMC), this device moves away from raw hardware specs and focuses on “Intelligent Experience.”
Design & Display: The Pixel 10 Pro features a “Liquid OLED” display that can adjust its refresh rate from 1Hz to 240Hz dynamically. The design is sleek, using 100% recycled cobalt and a matte sea-glass finish that feels incredibly premium in hand.
The Camera (The AI Magic): The hardware is impressive, but the software is mind-blowing. The new “Magic Director” feature allows you to record a video and later change the lighting, background, or even the clothes of the person in the video using on-device generative AI. The 10x Optical Periscope lens combined with Zoom Enhance 2.0 provides crisp shots even at 150x digital zoom.
Battery & Performance: Thanks to the new Graphene Battery technology, the Pixel 10 Pro stays cool even during heavy gaming and lasts a full two days on a single charge. It also supports 100W “Hyper-Charge,” reaching 80% in just 12 minutes.
Pros:
- Best-in-class AI features (Live Translation, Video Generative AI).
- Significant performance boost with the Tensor G5.
- Long-lasting Graphene battery.
Cons:
- AI features require a “Pixel Pass” subscription for full access.
- Bold design might not appeal to everyone.
