Google has officially launched the Google Pixel 10 at its 2025 Made By Google event, introducing its latest flagship with upgraded performance, new AI tools, and a significant camera boost. While it retains the familiar design of its predecessor, the Pixel 10 stands out with the new Tensor G5 chip, a telephoto camera on the standard model for the first time, and Google’s new Pixelsnap magnetic charging system.
A Telephoto Lens for Everyone
For the first time ever, Google is bringing a dedicated telephoto lens to the standard Pixel model. This is a huge deal for photography enthusiasts who don’t want to pay a premium for the Pro models. The new rear camera setup consists of a 48MP main sensor, a 13MP ultrawide sensor, and a 10.8MP sensor with 5x optical zoom. This versatile system is enhanced by a custom Imaging Signal Processor in the new Tensor G5 chip, promising sharper images and improved features like Cinematic Blur and Super Res Zoom up to 20x.
The Google Pixel 10 also debuts several new AI-powered camera features. Camera Coach offers real-time guidance on framing and lighting, while Auto Best Take merges multiple shots to ensure everyone in a group photo looks their best.
