Google’s new Pixel 10 series is here, and as expected, it’s packed with next-gen AI features. At its Made by Google 2025 event in New York, the company unveiled the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, showcasing how Gemini AI now powers nearly every aspect of the user experience.
Here’s a complete look at all the AI features in the Pixel 10 lineup.
Magic Cue Makes Smart Suggestions Everywhere
One of the biggest highlights is Magic Cue, a proactive AI assistant that surfaces contextual shortcuts while you’re texting, emailing, or browsing photos.
- If a friend asks about dinner plans, it can instantly pull up reservation details from Gmail or Calendar.
- If someone asks about a flight, Magic Cue can show boarding details right in your Messages app.
- It can even suggest recent photos when someone brings them up.
Magic Cue’s suggestions appear with a rainbow outline, and you can long-press to view the source of the information. Over time, Google plans to expand it to more apps and data sources. Importantly, this runs on Google Nano, the on-device AI model, to keep conversations private.
Camera Coach and Smarter Photography
The Pixel 10 camera gets an AI-first overhaul with Camera Coach. This assistant scans the scene and recommends the best angle, lighting, or capture mode. It can even generate example shots and guide you step by step to recreate them.
Other new AI photography features include:
- Auto Best Take – combines multiple frames so everyone looks their best in group photos.
- Add Me – improved to ensure the photographer can be seamlessly included in group shots.
- Pro Res Zoom (on Pro models) – AI enhances detail at extreme zoom levels. Images carry a watermark when AI assistance is used.
Editing Photos With Just Your Voice
In Google Photos, the new Conversational Editing lets you describe edits instead of digging into menus. You can type, speak, or choose suggested prompts to tell the AI what to fix.
For example:
- Ask it to remove strangers from a selfie.
- Request lighting adjustments.
- Stack multiple edits in sequence.
All edits run on Gemini Nano. If you don’t like a change, you can easily revert to earlier versions.
Daily Hub: Your Day in One Place
Google is adding Daily Hub to the Discover feed — a central dashboard with all your essentials:
- Current weather
- Calendar events
- Reminders from Gmail or Keep
- Recommended YouTube content
It feels like a modern AI-powered take on the old Google Snapshot, designed to reduce app switching and streamline your morning routine.
Pixel Journal: Reflect With AI
The new Pixel Journal app acts as a smart diary powered by AI.
- While typing entries, it suggests relevant photos from your library.
- It auto-categorizes entries by topics, each tagged with emojis for quick recognition.
- A monthly overview helps track themes and thoughts over time.
- AI prompts assist when you’re unsure what to write.
At the end of each day, Pixel Journal can nudge you to reflect, making journaling feel natural instead of forced.
Gemini Live Gets More Natural
Gemini Live, Google’s conversational AI, has been upgraded to feel more intuitive.
- Visual Overlays: When you ask about something via the camera, Gemini outlines the object or landmark directly on screen for clarity.
- Smarter Audio: Detects tone and adjusts its responses — calm when taking notes, empathetic during emotional conversations.
- Speech Control: You can ask it to slow down or adjust delivery.
These updates roll out first on Pixel 10 before expanding to other devices.
Real-Time Call and Message Help
AI also upgrades communication on the Pixel 10:
- Voice Translate – translates calls live across multiple languages (English, Spanish, German, Japanese, French, Hindi, and more) while keeping natural voices.
- Take a Message – in the Phone app, it creates a live transcript for missed or declined calls, highlights key details, and suggests next steps (e.g., adding a date to your calendar or saving a phone number).
- AI Writing Tools in Gboard – draft polished replies for texts, emails, or chats on the fly.
Powered by Tensor G5
All these features are powered by the new Tensor G5 chip, built by TSMC.
- 34% faster than the previous generation.
- 60% more powerful AI engine.
- Optimized for smooth on-device performance of features like Magic Cue and Conversational Editing.
The Pixel 10 lineup is Google’s most AI-driven release yet. By weaving Gemini AI throughout its core apps, Google positions the Pixel 10 as a proactive digital companion rather than just another smartphone.
