The Pixel 10 Pro Fold offers improved dust resistance and Qi2 wireless charging

Google just announced the Pixel 10 Pro Fold smartphone at the Made by Google event. This latest foldable offers some novel features, especially when compared to rival handsets like the recently-released Galaxy Z Fold 7. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold offers an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. This is pretty significant for dust, as the Z Fold 7 has just an IP48 rating. IP68 is a good rating and essentially means that the unit will be completely dustproof and can withstand being submerged in wa

The Pixel 10 Pro series features brighter displays, bigger batteries and Qi2 wireless charging

After the usual months of rumors and anticipation, Google has officially launched the new Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL at its Made by Google event. The new generation flagship devices carry packed spec sheets with impressive upgrades from the Pixel 9 Pro. Perhaps the most exciting among them is the addition of Pixelsnap, which supports Google's new ecosystem of Qi2-compatible chargers that magnetically align to the back of the phone. Beyond just the convenience, Qi2 compatibility should offer fast

All the new AI features coming to the Pixel 10 phones

Software has always been an integral part of the Pixel experience, and that's not changing with the new Pixel 10 family. At its Made by Google event today in New York, Google detailed a suite of new machine learning and AI features that will debut with the Pixel 10 series before making their way to earlier models. The first new tool most people are likely to encounter is Magic Cue. As you're texting your friends, Gemini Nano, Google's private on-device model, will populate the conversation with

Everything announced at the Made by Google Pixel event, including the Pixel 10 lineup

Google is kicking off the fall tech event season (albeit in late summer) today with its Made by Google showcase. The headline attraction at the event is the Pixel 10 lineup, but there's plenty of other interesting stuff on offer too, such as the Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Buds 2a and — of course — a bunch of AI-related announcements. Google has also confirmed something many folks have been waiting for: its take on MagSafe. The company is calling its version Pixelsnap. Here's a look at everything tha

How to pre-order Google’s new Pixel 10 phones, Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a

The base Pixel 10 doesn’t look or feel all that different from last year’s Pixel 9 from afar, but it packs a few notable upgrades on the spec sheet. The big one is a new 10.8MP telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom, which should make the phone much more adept for portraits and shots of faraway objects. Previously, you had to buy a Pro model if you wanted a Pixel with a dedicated zoom lens. The catch is that the other two shooters in the triple-camera setup appear to be downgrades from the Pix

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: How the newest foldable phones stack up

Last month, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 was released and immediately became the de facto king of the foldable phone hill. But today a new challenger has arrived: The Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Initial details are now available, and Google is having a splashy launch event to introduce it (and the full new Pixel 10 line) to the world. These two smartphones are vying for the title of best foldable — both with very similar designs, but each bringing something unique to the table. Samsung launched its first

Pixel 10 Family Hands-On: Gemini Hops Into the Driver’s Seat as Hardware Takes a Backseat

Google’s messaging with its Pixel 10 family—the Pixel 10, 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold—is simple: the physical designs of the phones are taking a backseat this year, and Gemini and AI are doing the driving and navigating. That’s why, other than some new colors, the whole Pixel 10 lineup looks so similar compared to the Pixel 9 series. To be fair, there are hardware upgrades to the Pixel 10, but most of them are under-the-hood improvements for stuff like performance and battery life—it’

I Took Hundreds of Photos With the Pixel 10 Pro XL in Paris. These Are My Favs

The phone's hardware hasn't changed much from last year, with a 50-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera offering 5x optical zoom. With the new processor and a host of software improvements, Google says it's made its best camera phone yet. To test the company's boasts, I headed out onto the streets. I was testing the Pixel 10 Pro XL, which has an identical camera setup to the base Pixel 10 Pro. Note, too, that to reduce file sizes for displa

Google unveils Pixel 10 series with improved Tensor G5 chip and a boatload of AI

Google's annual hardware refresh is also happening a bit ahead of the traditional October window. The company has unveiled its thoroughly leaked 2025 Pixel phones and watches, and you can preorder most of them today.

Google Pixel 10 Series, Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Buds 2a: Specs, Features, Release Date

Nearly a decade ago, Google announced the first Pixel phone at an event in San Francisco. When Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai took the stage that day, he talked about the mobile-first to AI-first transition. “I believe computers should adapt to how people live their lives, rather than people having to adapt to computers.” That vision is still playing out on the Pixel phone, which is now in its 10th generation. Google is unveiling its Pixel 10 series Android smartphones today. The lineup is comprise

An Exclusive Look at Reliability Labs, Where Google Stress Tests Pixel Hardware

Smartphones are durable, powerful devices we carry everywhere. They get slightly better every year, too. Whether that's through improved glass technology that's more shatter- and scratch-proof, or screen size adjustments to ensure the best experience in your hand. Take the just-announced Pixel 10 Pro Fold, for example. It's now IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, just like most flagship candybar phones. Just a few years ago, the hinge mechanism on folding phones was still having problems

The Google Pixel 10 and 10 Pro come with magnets, a new chip, and AI everywhere

Google has formally announced the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL, and their hardware upgrades can be summed up in two letter/number combinations: G5 and Qi2. Otherwise, there’s not much to see on the outside of the phones. They mostly cost the same as last year’s devices — $799 for the Pixel 10, $999 for the 10 Pro, and $1,199 for the 256GB 10 Pro XL, though Google got rid of the cheaper 128GB Pro XL variant. They also look an awful lot like last year’s phones, with a few specs tweaked here and
