The Google Pixel 10 Pro is Google’s flagship Android phone, positioned as the AI-first alternative to the iPhone 17 Pro and Galaxy S25 Ultra. Google now owns the entire hardware and software stack. So, the new Tensor G5 processor inside is the first Pixel chip designed entirely in-house at Google rather than adapted from Samsung’s Exynos platform.

Tensor G5 is where the Pixel 10 Pro takes its biggest step forward. Google designed the chip entirely in-house for the first time, and TSMC’s 3nm fabrication process produces a cooler-running processor with better power efficiency than the previous Samsung-fabricated Tensor G4. Single-core performance jumps 34%, and AI workload performance climbs as much as 50% over the G4. Since Google now controls both hardware and software, features like on-device Gemini processing run without a round trip to Google’s servers.
The 50MP main, ultrawide, and 5x periscope telephoto sensor array from the Pixel 9 Pro carries over to the Pixel 10 Pro. This means the camera bar at the top of each device looks very similar in design and layout, but the way Google uses these sensors has been modified. This modification includes the addition of an AI-based enhancement called Pro Res Zoom, which allows you to take photos digitally zoomed in to 100x. Another improvement made to the camera system is to the front-facing camera. The new 42MP lens now has a 103-degree angle-of-view compared to its predecessor, which is beneficial when taking group selfies. Additionally, this lens has auto-focus capabilities built in.
