With every new Pixel launch, there’s a huge amount of excitement around what the latest generation of the Tensor chip will bring to the table. This year, with the move to TSMC for fabrication, hopes were high for the new Tensor G5 in the Pixel 10 series. And while it delivers on many of its AI promises along with a …

Google’s Tensor reboot of the Pixel lineup has never been about adding more power, but rather about creating an experience tailored to what Google wants your phone to be. With the Pixel 10, Tensor G5 takes a big step in the right direction, but its increased gap with the competition begs the question – is Tensor enough for the Pixel …

While there’s plenty to unpack with the Pixel 10 series and its new Tensor G5 processor, one of the biggest hardware changes this year is the adoption of a brand new GPU architecture. Google has switched from its long-running use of ARM’s Mali to Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR series. Specifically, the PowerVR DXT-48-1536, but without the ray-tracing capabilities that the series …

TL;DR New Pixel 10 owners are running into some display glitches on their phones. Affected handsets suddenly display a screenful of colorful snow, but otherwise remain operational.

But, after rumblings early this year, a new piece of evidence suggests Pixel 10a will break that streak by forgoing the new Tensor G5 chip. In a prior codename leak of Google’s …

Now that we finally know what Google’s new Tensor G5 processor is made of, it’s about time we compare it against the best in the business. For today’s benchmarking session, I’ve grabbed rival handsets to compare against the more budget-friendly $799 Pixel 10 and the top-of-the-line, $1,199 Pixel 10 Pro XL. I don’t think anyone has particularly high hopes that …

What you need to know The Pixel 10a might stick with the Tensor G4, marking three years in a row for the midrange Pixel line. It’s tipped to use UFS 3.1, falling behind most midrange phones that have already moved to UFS 4.0. Magic Cue, the new on-device AI feature for calls and contextual info, probably won’t make it to …
