Google's Pixel 10 series features Tensor G5 chips, all-day battery life, proactive Gemini AI integration, and seven years of guaranteed updates.

Google didn’t just give the Fitbit app a makeover. It said that coaching and AI were at the core of the redesign, and that the “entire app was rebuilt so the health coach can understand your goals, build your plan, contextualize your metrics and bring insights at the right moments.”

Of course, Google’s latest Pixel lineup is far from an existential threat to Apple’s iPhone. According to research firm Canalys, Apple’s iPhone made up 49% of US smartphone shipments in Q2. Samsung accounted for 31%, while Motorola had 12%. Google devices made up just 3% of shipments.

The Pixel 10 Pro steps things up with a brighter 6.3-inch OLED display, upgraded materials, and Google’s best-in-class triple-lens camera system. You’re getting the wide, ultra-wide, and a new 5x telephoto lens that makes the Pro stand out as Google’s photography champ.

To nobody’s surprise, there’s a new Tensor G5 chip, with a 35% faster CPU, powering everything. The Pixel 10 comes with 12GB of RAM standard and two storage options (128GB and 256GB). And for the first time on any Pixel phone, there’s built-in Satellite SOS, which works more or less the same as it does on newer iPhones.

Google is set to introduce Gemini for Home, a new voice assistant powered by Gemini AI, replacing Google Assistant on Nest smart speakers and displays.

For likely the first time ever, security researchers have shown how AI can be hacked to create real world havoc, allowing them to turn off lights, open smart shutters, and more.

The move by Google and Oracle signals a future in which AI is no longer locked to a single provider’s platform.

Speaking of losses: Google is taking a page out of Apple’s playbook, and the versions of the Pixel 10 phones sold in the US will be eSIM-only. The physical SIM tray is replaced with the ability to use two active eSIMs at once and store eight “or more” eSIM profiles.
