Our newest Pixel hardware includes AI features to help you make the most of your time. Check out nine new ways AI makes your Pixel even more helpful.

1. Try our most powerful AI chip yet

All Pixel 10 phones come with Google Tensor G5, our most powerful chip yet that delivers performance boosts while unlocking brand new experiences. Co-designed with the Google DeepMind team, Tensor G5 is the first chip to run our newest Gemini Nano model. And together, the combined power of Tensor G5 and Gemini Nano will make your everyday life easier by running many complex, generative AI experiences on-device.

If you decide on a Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL or Pixel 10 Pro Fold you’ll also get a free year of Google AI Pro, giving you access to image and video generation tools like Imagen 4 and Veo 3 that make your creative ideas come to life.

2. Get a helping hand from Magic Cue

The more we do on our phones, the more we find ourselves digging through different apps to find what we need. Magic Cue connects the dots across your apps, like Gmail, Calendar, Screenshots, Messages and more, to proactively surface relevant info and suggest helpful actions when you need them.

Say your friend texts to ask when your flight’s landing. Magic Cue will reference your itinerary, pull the relevant details and suggest you share them right in your Messages app with just a tap. And if you need to make changes to that itinerary, Magic Cue automatically displays your flight information when you call your airline.

That in-context support shows up in many more situations, like when a friend asks you to send a photo or dinner reservation details. Magic Cue will suggest the right action or information as you’re replying, right in Google Messages. And if it doesn’t find a relevant suggestion, it won’t disturb you. Magic Cue runs securely and privately through a combination of the Tensor G5 chip and Gemini Nano. You're in control — you can turn Magic Cue on or off at any time, and control what data it has access to.

Another place you’ll find Magic Cue is in Daily Hub, which you’ll find in your discover feed. Daily Hub is a personalized digest showing what’s coming up on your calendar, relevant topics for you to deep dive on, recommended playlists and more.

3. Build connection across languages with just a call

Voice Translate allows you to break down language barriers during phone calls. Through Tensor G5, our on-device AI translates your call in real time in what sounds like each speaker’s voice, so you can connect to the other person more naturally in their language.

Voice Translate works when translating to or from English with Spanish, German, Japanese, French, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Russian and Indonesian.

4. Let Pixel take the message

Call Screen continues to be a fan favorite on Pixel, but what about those times where you miss or decline a call? In the Phone app, Take a Message will now give you real-time transcripts for missed or declined calls. It will also use advanced AI to identify next steps for you based on the message — an update that will also come to Call Notes.

5. Get more help from Gemini Live

Since launching with Pixel 9, we've continued to make updates to Gemini Live. That includes connecting to your favorite Google apps and letting Gemini Live see whatever you see, whether through your phone's camera or on your screen.

With Pixel 10, Gemini Live can offer even more visual help. Now, when you share your camera, Gemini can not only see what you see, but also provide guidance by highlighting the solution directly on your screen.

And with Google AI Pro, you’ll have access to additional AI-powered features, like video generation in the Gemini app.

6. Level up your notetaking

Our AI-powered research assistant, NotebookLM, is now integrated with Pixel Screenshots and Recorder. If Screenshots detects a picture you’ve taken that could be a good fit for your notebook, it will automatically suggest you add it for easy tracking. Similarly, you can now add transcripts from Recorder to your notebook.

7. Take time for yourself in Pixel Journal

With Pixel Journal, you have a private space to focus on your wellbeing, progress toward your goals and build a lifelong practice of reflection. It uses on-device AI to give you writing prompts that help you process your thoughts, and it offers insights into your patterns and progress over time. You can even lock your journal so everything you write remains totally secure and personal.

8. Find writing support right in Gboard

Check your texts and fix writing errors with Writing Tools in Gboard. It’s a new experience that will not only spellcheck what you’re writing, but also offer rewrites in a specified style, like if you need your text to sound more professional or just want to find the perfect emojis to convey what you’re feeling. You can even use voice commands to help rephrase or rewrite the message.

9. Make music with Recorder

If you’re a fan of singing songs or humming ideas into Recorder, you can now transform those creative sparks into music. Just record your vocals and select your desired musical style to create a unique track that suits your vibe.
