Google on Wednesday announced its new lineup of Pixel phones and other gear at an event hosted by Jimmy Fallon.
The AOD upgrade on the Pixel 10 should pair nicely with Android 16’s Live Updates. The latter displays real-time info from food delivery and ride-hailing apps on the lock screen and notification shade, making it easier to track your orders and rides at a glance. When tapped, a slick transition should take users from the AOD to the lock screen.
The AI expansion on the four Pixel 10 models amplifies Google’s efforts to broaden the use of a technology that is already starting to reshape society. At the same time, Google is taking a swipe at Apple’s Achilles’ heel on the iPhone.
Google and Apple's collaboration could soon make it easier to switch from an iPhone to a new Pixel 10 or another Android device.
Expect to see new Pixel 10 phones, Pixel Watch 4 and a host of celebrities like Steph Curry and the Jonas Brothers.
Google employs the Qi2 wireless charging standard for the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro, which charge at up to 15W. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is Qi2.2 certified and charges at up to 25W wirelessly. Since the Pixelsnap chargers use Qi 2, they can also charge non-Pixelsnap devices.
On the eve of launch, a Pixel 10 leak backs up claims that Google could be moving away from physical SIM cards.
The Pixel 10 marks the 10th generation of Google's homegrown smartphone efforts. This year, alongside a new Tensor G5 chip, the company has included some upgrades that might make the base model the star of the family.
