Join me and the Android Authority team for a Pixel 10 series AMA right now!

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority After its announcement last week, the Pixel 10 series will officially start shipping tomorrow, August 28, 2025. Many of you have already pre-ordered one of the three phones, but many are probably still waiting for real-world feedback before they make up their mind. That’s what we’re here for. If you’re eager to know more about the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL, their performance, how specific features work and how good they are, you can join me,

Pixel 10 reminds you not to cheap out on a quality screen protector

TL;DR Google is adding a new step to the Pixel 10 setup to ensure you use a certified screen protector. You can scan the QR code printed on the screen protector’s packaging to verify that it is supported. This ensures the screen protector works flawlessly and does not interfere with the Pixel 10’s fingerprint scanner. Screen protectors, especially those made of glass, are known for not playing well with in-display fingerprint scanners. The added thickness of the glass can interfere with the s

Pixel Studio for Pixel 10 just got better: Improved details, custom font packs, and more

TL;DR Google has announced improvements to the Pixel Studio app on the Pixel 10 phones. The image generator app now uses Google’s Imagen 4 model. The app also offers improved editing tools and new studio capabilities. Google debuted its Pixel Studio app last year, giving Pixel 9 series owners a solid image generator tool. Now, the company has used its Pixel 10 series launch to announce a few Pixel Studio improvements. Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority? Set us as a preferred

I tested the Pixel 10’s new telephoto camera, and the results are incredible

Joe Maring / Android Authority If there’s one aspect of the Google Pixel 10 that deserves a spotlight, it’s the phone’s new camera system. Although it seemed too good to be true in leaks, Google really did ship the base model Pixel 10 with three rear cameras — including primary, ultrawide, and telephoto sensors. That telephoto camera is the star of the show. Ever since the Pixel 6 series, Google’s base model Pixels have been limited to primary and ultrawide cameras; if you wanted a third telep

The first 10 features I tried on my brand-new Google Pixel 10 Pro

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority One of the perks of doing this job is that some brand-new phones land on my doorstep a few days before they become available to everyone. That was the case with the Google Pixel 10 Pro, which dropped at Casa El Khoury a week ago in its sexy Moonstone color. After sliding it into a cheap magnetic case I bought from Amazon to avoid the disaster of my perpetually slippery hands, I set up the phone and applied all the available updates. Then I opened up the Google

The Pixel 10 comes with 12GB of RAM, but Google has locked some of it away

Robert Triggs / Android Authority The Google Pixel 10 series has plenty of new features for both fans and newcomers. As is Google’s current direction of travel, many of these focus on new or improved AI tools. However, leaning heavily on AI to power smartphones requires a few changes to how we usually think about running apps. Typically, when we open an app, we expect it to appear within a second or so, with the phone quickly fetching it from storage and loading it into RAM. Larger application

Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 deep dive: All the info Google didn’t tell us about its new chip

Tensor is the Pixel’s secret sauce, empowering the series with AI smarts you can’t find elsewhere and solid-enough performance and battery life to last the day. However, Google has been quieter than in previous years about exactly what went into the Tensor G5 inside the Pixel 10 series. The silence doesn’t bode well; companies usually scream their subtlest of improvements from the rooftops. Still, with Pixel 10 in hand, I’ve managed to discern the good and the bad of the Tensor G5’s new feature

Pre-ordered the Pixel 9 Pro last year? Don’t get hit with a surprise $20 charge

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Pixel 9 Pro TL;DR For many buyers, the Pixel 9 Pro’s free one-year Google AI Pro trial is close to expiring. It will renew at $19.99 per month if you don’t cancel before the trial period ends. One option is downgrading to the cheaper $9.99 2TB storage plan. Google is dangling Pixel 10 Pro buyers the nice perk of a full year of Google AI Pro for free to sweeten the deal. That’s great news if you’re picking up a new device today, but Pixel 9 Pro owners not up

Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL review: Redefining the smart in smartphone

In the ‘90s, the term “smartphone” emerged to denote devices with “advanced computing” features that allowed you to do more than just make calls. But if we’re being honest, applying that label to pocket-sized gadgets that ran cut-down versions of desktop PC apps with half-baked UIs was kind of overselling it. More recently though, we’ve seen handsets like those from Google come with sophisticated features that simply aren’t available anywhere else, due in no small part to the rise of AI. And now

Google Pixel 10 review: The new smartphone standard

Google marked the tenth generation of Pixels with four new smartphones. While the ‘pro’ and foldable Pixel 10 models might have no-compromise specs (and prices to match), Google has blurred the lines between its entry-level Pixel 10 and those premium devices. This year, the base Pixel 10 has a bigger battery, a new 5x zoom telephoto camera and almost as many AI features as the flagship Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. If the celebrity-loaded Made By Google event was anything to go by, the co

Google to verify all Android devs to protect users from malware

Google is introducing a new defense for Android called ‘Developer Verification’ to block malware installations from sideloaded apps sourced from outside the official Google Play app store. For apps on Google Play, there was already a requirement for publishers to provide a D-U-N-S (Data Universal Numbering System) number, introduced on August 31, 2023. Google says this has had a notable effect in reducing malware on the platform. However, the system didn’t apply to the vast developer ecosystem

Pixel 10 Review: Google Delivers the AI Phone That Apple Promised

2025 If you just look at the Pixel 10’s physical design, you’re going to be disappointed. Google’s new $800 Android smartphone looks almost identical to last year’s Pixel 9, save for an additional 5x telephoto camera lens and some new colors, including the makes-me-smile Indigo blue. But like most new phones, there are a bunch of small upgrades internally that add up to a better daily experience, even if they’re not revolutionary. All of that stuff is good and necessary for a new phone—though,

Cheetahs Feast and Sloths Snooze in These Stunning Wildlife Photographer of the Year Entries

Can you spot the second coyote in the image above? It may look like this amber-eyed pup is peering out from beneath his own tail, but that’s actually his sister’s.

The jaw-dropping images, selected from a record-breaking 60,636 entries, feature cheetahs, jellyfish, slime molds, and so much more. But let’s not forget t

Meta’s Already Bleeding AI Talent Two Months Into Hiring Spree

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to be the first to achieve AI superintelligence, a type of artificial intelligence that is smarter than the average human, and a concept that some experts are still highly skeptical. To do so, Zuckerberg announced the formation of Meta Superintelligence Labs in late June, a team dedicated to helping AI catch up to and beat its peers in the AI race. With that, he sparked a multi-million dollar hiring frenzy. Meta began poaching talent from competitors, the main ta

I've Spent Days Testing the Pixel 10 Pro XL and It's Quite the Android Phone

I'd already spent a lot of time with the Pixel 10 Pro XL in Paris -- including extensively testing its camera -- so there was a lot I already liked about it. I'm keen on the design, the display is vibrant and bright enough to use under the midday Paris sunshine and the camera is capable of taking some really great-looking images. Now that I have Google's new flagship phone in my hand I've been able to dive deeper, playing games, using the new AI tools and generally finding out what this phone i

Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL Review

I spoke to my friend in Russian over the phone. I don't speak Russian. “Oh my god, this is crazy!” she responded. I was using the Google Pixel 10's new real-time voice translation feature in phone calls, which employs generative AI to listen to a snippet of your voice at the start of the call, and then generates an approximation (calls aren't recorded, and processing happens on the device). I could hear myself on her end, a familiar deep rumbling, except in a completely foreign language. My fri

Brisk It’s beginner-friendly smart smoker is more than $100 off for Labor Day

Pixel 10 Pro review: Familiar hardware, filled with Google’s AI

Pixel devices have always been a reflection of how Google sees Android, as well as a platform to showcase its own apps and technology advances. In the current era, this vision encompasses Google’s consumer AI suite. Google wants Pixel owners to live and breathe Google AI in all aspects of their lives through the new devices. While a lot of people are talking about AI as a paradigm shift, companies know that the best way to reach consumers is still their phones. Google wants people to believe i

The ‘Borderlands 4’ Character Shorts Are Doing Their Job Right

Gearbox and 2K is set to release Borderlands 4 in a mere two weeks, the latest entry in their looter-shooter franchise. And for the last month or so, the studio has slowly peeled back the curtain on the game’s four playable Vault Hunters through gameplay breakdowns and short narrative videos. Borderlands 4 takes place on a brand new planet called Kairos, where the Vault Hunters—Siren Vex, Exo-Soldier Rafa, Forgeknight Amon, and Gravitar Harlowe—join up with the world’s resistance fighters to br

Intel details everything that could go wrong with US taking a 10% stake

Some investors are not happy that Intel agreed to sell the US a 10 percent stake in the company after Donald Trump attacked Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan with a demand to resign. After Intel accepted the deal at a meeting with the president, it alarmed some investors when Trump boasted that his pressure campaign worked, claiming Tan "walked in wanting to keep his job, and he ended up giving us $10 billion for the United States." "It sets a bad precedent if the president can just take 10 percent of a co
