Things you need to know about Google’s new Pixel 10

Google has unveiled its latest lineup of devices, headlined by the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro Fold, alongside the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a, with major upgrades powered by Gemini AI.

One of the biggest additions is Magic Cue, a feature designed to anticipate user needs by pulling information across Gmail, Calendar, Maps and other apps at just the right moment.

For example, calling an airline automatically displays booking details, while a brunch plan with friends may prompt restaurant suggestions and calendar checks.

The Pixel 10 series is powered by the new Tensor G5 chip, which allows Magic Cue and other AI tools to run directly on-device for improved speed and privacy. Analysts say Google may now be ahead of rivals in integrating everyday AI into smartphones.

The Pixel 10 sports a 6.3-inch OLED display and introduces a triple-camera setup, including a 10.8MP 5x telephoto lens. The Pixel 10 Pro, available in 6.3-inch and 6.8-inch sizes, adds a 48MP telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold becomes one of the first foldables to offer IP68 water and dust resistance, easing durability concerns, while carrying a similar triple-camera system.

Prices start at £799 (€899/$799/A$1,349) for the Pixel 10, £999 (€1,099/$999/A$1,699) for the Pixel 10 Pro, and £1,749 (€1,899/$1,799/A$2,699) for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which ships October 9.

AI also enhances photography with the new Camera Coach, which analyses a scene in real time to suggest framing, angles and lighting for better shots.

Alongside the phones, Google introduced the Pixel Watch 4, bringing Gemini AI to the wrist.

The smartwatch can act as a personal health and sleep coach, creating tailored fitness plans and providing chatbot-style answers to wellness questions.

It also becomes the first smartwatch with satellite-based SOS emergency services (launching first in the US) and is now designed with repairable batteries and screens. The watch starts at £349 (€499/$349/A$579).

Completing the lineup, the new Pixel Buds 2a offer a budget-friendly option at £129 (€149/$129/A$239). Equipped with the Tensor A1 chip, they feature noise cancellation and the Gemini AI assistant.

The charging case includes a replaceable battery, though the earbuds themselves remain non-repairable.
