The Google Pixel 10 series has been officially released, with a focus on integrating a variety of AI features into the new phones. The Made By Google event showcased different celebrities explaining how users can make use of AI features in their daily lives. The theme of the event centered around the concept of “usefulness.”
### Personal Intelligence by Google
Rick Osterloh, senior VP of devices and services, described the new offerings as “personal intelligence,” emphasizing how Google’s AI features cater to individual users’ lives. The event also hinted at the upcoming release of an “agentic universal AI assistant” later this year, promising more proactive and task-oriented AI features. Demonstrations of the Pixel 10 series’ AI capabilities were provided with the participation of personalities like Jimmy Fallon, Alex Cooper, and Karen Polinesia.
### Voice Translate
One notable live demonstration showcased the Voice Translate feature of the Google Pixel 10, which enables real-time conversation translation. Powered by the Tensor G5 chip, this feature allows for on-device processing of translations, ensuring privacy during conversations.
### Magic Cue
Magic Cue serves as an AI assistant that proactively suggests relevant information across various apps like Gmail, Calendar, and Messages. It can provide recommendations based on users’ activities and interests, although users have the option to disable this feature if they find it intrusive.
The Pixel 10 series camera introduces AI features to enhance creativity and photo editing capabilities. Tools like Ask Gemini for photo editing assistance and Camera Coach for guidance on capturing the perfect shot aim to streamline the photography process and empower users to explore their creativity. Additionally, Pixel Journal, an AI-powered journaling app, offers writing prompts and insights into users’ thoughts over time, provoking discussions on the balance between AI assistance and personal expression in journaling practices.
Google has improved call screening capabilities for the Pixel lineup, introducing the “Take a Message” feature that transcribes voicemails from missed calls and provides guidance on subsequent actions based on the content of the message. Customers purchasing select Pixel 10 devices are entitled to a complimentary one-year subscription to Google AI Pro, offering enhanced access to various AI tools and applications.
