Google Pixel 10 Debuts ‘Camera Coach’ AI and 100× Pro Zoom

Google on 20 August unveiled the Pixel 10 family of smartphones, placing a new AI tool called “Camera Coach” at the centre of the launch. The feature analyses a live frame with on-device Gemini models and delivers step-by-step prompts on angles, framing and mode selection, effectively acting as a photography tutor. Google says the service debuts in preview on all Pixel 10 variants and did not specify if earlier Pixel handsets will receive it. The base Pixel 10 gains a 10.8-megapixel telephoto lens and up to 20× Super Res Zoom, while the Pro and Pro XL models switch to “Pro Res Zoom”, which combines their existing triple-camera arrays with AI upscaling to reach 100× magnification. All models now shoot video at a cinematic 24 frames per second, and the Pro versions offer 8K capture with Video Boost processing. Additional updates include built-in support for C2PA provenance tags that log any AI edits, an automated Best Take function that blends group photos from up to 150 rapid exposures, and an expanded Guided Frame mode that provides full-scene descriptions for visually impaired users. The entire line runs on Google’s new Tensor G5 processor, and the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold will ship later in the cycle with the same camera software.
