A Deeper Look at the New Google Pixel 10 Cameras

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that I’ve always been in the Apple ecosystem, writing about the company and its products since the early days of the Mac. Now that I’m writing for CNET, I’m also covering Android phones, which has been a great learning experience. Case in point: the new Pixel 10 phones announced this week.

The physical cameras of these devices aren’t too different, with two notable exceptions, from the previous models, but Google is doing a lot with AI and other software improvements to enhance the photographic experience. Although specs on the wide/main Pixel 10 Pro camera are largely the same, the module was rebuilt to accommodate a new optical image stabilization (OIS) chassis that improves stability 2x; and the base Pixel 10 now has a dedicated telephoto camera.

I talked to the head of the Pixel camera team to get a deep dive into the new technologies: Google Thinks AI Can Make You a Better Photographer: I Dive Into the Pixel 10 Cameras
