Google unveils Pixel 10 lineup with new Tensor G5 chip and upgraded cameras

Google has introduced its latest Pixel smartphones – the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and
Pixel 10 Pro XL – at its annual Made by Google event, placing a strong emphasis on
performance gains and camera improvements.

All three models are powered by the company’s new Tensor G5 processor, which
promises a 34% boost in CPU performance and a 60% jump in TPU (Tensor Processing
Unit) capabilities compared with the previous generation. Paired with the Titan M2
security chip and a redesigned image processor, the new hardware is designed to push
Google’s AI-driven features further.

For the first time, the base Pixel model ships with a triple-camera system. The Pixel 10
adds a 48-megapixel wide sensor, a 13-megapixel ultrawide, and a new telephoto lens
offering 5x optical zoom and up to 20x digital zoom through Google’s Super Res Zoom.
This marks a significant step up from last year’s Pixel 9, which only featured wide and
ultrawide lenses.

The Pro devices refine things further with a 50-megapixel wide camera equipped with
optical stabilization, alongside a 50-megapixel telephoto lens capable of 5x optical and
an expanded 100x digital zoom. Both Pros also retain Super Res Zoom for sharper
video capture.

On the display front, Google has kept screen sizes consistent: 6.3 inches for the Pixel
10 and Pixel 10 Pro, and 6.8 inches for the Pixel 10 Pro XL. However, all models now
feature the company’s new “Actua” display tech, which pushes brightness levels up to
3,300 nits on the Pro models and 3,000 nits on the standard Pixel 10, a substantial
upgrade for outdoor visibility.

With the combination of enhanced hardware, sharper displays, and expanded AI
features powered by the Tensor G5, the Pixel 10 series looks set to solidify Google’s
position in the high-end smartphone race.
