I upgraded to a Pixel 10 Pro because the promos made it super cheap for me—and honestly, Pixelsnap (Qi2/MagSafe) without a case is the only “new feature” I care about.

I disable all the AI features I can on my Google Account, so none of that new stuff interests me, but there *are* a handful of new things I’ve noticed but seen literally nobody mention in “reviews” or sales pages. I’ll compile them here in this thread for anyone interested.

Google acknowledges that an IP68 rated phone isn't actually "water or dust proof" because "water resistance and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and will diminish or be lost over time due to normal wear and tear." https://www.theverge.com/news/762773/google-says-the-quiet-part-louder-ip68-protection-doesnt-last#Pixel10#Google#IP68#WaterProof#DustProof

Google is bringing more AI features to Pixel apps including the ability to use Pixel Recorder to hum a tune and then generate music to match and a new Pixel Journal app that uses AI to give you personalized writing prompts. https://blog.google/products/pixel/google-pixel-10-ai-features-updates/#Google#Gemini#Pixel10#Android

Google is set to introduce the Pixel 10 on August 20th. But images and details have been leaking for months. Now Google is getting a head start with a short teaser video showing the Pixel 10 design.
