AI features (Gemini on Tensor G5)
Google leans into genuinely helpful AI on the Pro: Gemini Live for visual assistance, Magic Cue for proactive help in your apps, and refined Voice Translate for live call translation — all on-device with Tensor G5. Safety features like Scam Detection and Theft Detection add day-to-day peace of mind.
Cameras & zoom
The Pixel 10 Pro pushes reach and clarity: a 5× telephoto delivers crisp portraits and distant subjects, while up to 100× Pro Zoom extends beyond what most users will need. The wide and ultrawide produce signature Pixel colours and low-light performance, and the upgraded selfie camera adds sharper detail and autofocus.
Display & battery
A big Super Actua LTPO panel (1–120 Hz) keeps things ultra-smooth and bright outdoors. Battery capacity is larger than the standard Pixel 10, and you get faster wired charging plus the convenience of Pixelsnap magnetic wireless charging across Qi2 accessories.
