1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,240 Now, I'll be the first to say that in general, digital assistants have fallen 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,080 short of what we were promised. I mean, just last week, I had someone text me, 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,320 "Happy birthday." One of the options to respond to them was, "Happy birthday." 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:20,400 You're guessing they're my twin. However, the new Tensor G5 processor in 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:26,640 the Google Pixel 10 along with some of their onboard, that's right, locally 6 00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:29,199 processed AI features actually looks 7 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,680 pretty compelling. I'm talking prompting you with stuff that you might find 8 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:41,040 useful or interesting. Okay, that we've been promised before, but on device and 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:44,640 more interestingly, live translation of 10 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:47,280 phone calls processed on device in the 11 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:51,920 natural voice of the caller. Okay, now you've got my attention. Inside the 12 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:56,160 eco-friendly packaging, you find a whole lot of not much. A SIM removal tool, a 13 00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,199 little bit of documentation. Remember when they used to have audio adapters 14 00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:02,480 and power bricks, phone cases, stickers? 15 00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,840 Of course, that's not what you were here for. You were here for the Pixel 10. And 16 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:13,840 wow, it's a Pixel. On the back, we're greeted with our very first three camera 17 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,720 design for the regular nonpro. Beep beep 18 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:20,880 beep. I have cameras. They don't have the same resolution as the Pro model. 19 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:27,119 We're looking at a 48 megapixel wide, a 13 megapixel ultrawide, and a 10.8 8 20 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,080 megap 5x telephoto lens. But what's 21 00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:34,960 refreshing is that that is pretty much the biggest difference going from the 22 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:39,600 nonpro to the Pro. It has the same allnew Tensor G5 chip as the Pro model 23 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:44,079 with the main difference from a performance standpoint being that it has 24 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:50,000 12 gigs of RAM rather than 16 gigs of RAM and is only available with a 128 or 25 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:54,640 256 gig storage configuration. On the outside, you've got three microphones 26 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,479 that help with noise cancellation. A SIM slot. US customers won't have the tray, 27 00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:01,920 though. It's eim only down there. Got one of those mics and the SIM on the 28 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:06,079 top. On the left, whole lot of nothing. On the bottom, USB type-C charging port 29 00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:10,720 that supports fast charging up to 30 watts. And then on the right, your 30 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,400 volume rocker as well as a lock button. Oh, and I missed a couple things on the 31 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:19,760 back. The dedicated flash with no temperature sensor. That's a proton only 32 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:24,160 feature as well as wireless charging with the new Chi 2 standard which 33 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,200 features not only up to 15 watts of charging power but like Apple MagSafe 34 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,720 alignment magnets. In fact, I've got a charger Google sent over and we can have 35 00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:38,640 a look at how it snaps into place with the Pixel Snap charger. Hello. 36 00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:43,280 Ah, wow. What a great value. It includes a wireless charger and an IQ test. I'm 37 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:49,360 failing. Oh, that's unfortunate. Non-detachable power cord. Nice little 38 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:55,440 weighted base though. You ready, folks? This is it. This is a big moment. 39 00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:00,879 Wow. It's like iPhone. Is it quite like 40 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,879 iPhone? Ah, it's all right. Here's an iPhone. 41 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:07,319 Mhm. 42 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:16,560 Like, is it just that this Moment accessory has stronger? Oh, it is. 43 00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:20,480 Okay. All right. That was going to be pretty embarrassing. Of course, magnetic 44 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,400 performance isn't the only performance that we want to know about. Hello there. 45 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,920 I'm John Labs, and I'm here to give you mixed news about the Pixel 10. Compared 46 00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:31,440 to last year's phones, the Pixel 10 was able to increase its benchmarking speeds 47 00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:35,519 by 30% in single core performance and nearly 40% in multi-core performance, 48 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:39,200 which means daily tasks when using your phone will feel mighty zippy if you're 49 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:44,560 coming from an older Pixel. But in GPU performance, the Pixel 10 actually performs a little bit worse with it only 50 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,080 achieving 93% of the score the Pixel 9 was able to get. Odd. Unfortunately, 51 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,080 when compared with another recently released phone like the S25 Edge, things 52 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,400 fall apart with the Pixel 10 only achieving 87% of the single core 53 00:03:54,159 --> 00:04:01,360 performance, 65% of the multi-core performance, and only 55% of the GPU 54 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,640 performance with the S25 Edge in its light performance mode. In stress tests, 55 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,720 things are even more middling with the Pixel 10 hitting its peak performance 56 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:13,360 with a 24% increase in score compared to the Pixel 9 series, but only a 5% 57 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,919 increase in average performance overall. And again, when compared to the S25 58 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:21,919 Edge, it only hits 63% of its score. Ouch. Thanks, guys. Now, before we start 59 00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:25,680 poking around in the software, firing up the camera, listening to Crab Rave, all 60 00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:29,360 that good stuff, there is one more performance conversation that I wanted 61 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:34,160 to have. In fact, I was so confused by this that I had to check the spec sheet 62 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,160 twice. Instead of keeping Wi-Fi 7 like 63 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:41,520 we had in the last generation Pixel 9 family, Google's gone back to Wi-Fi 6E, 64 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,600 which to be clear, I don't think is a huge deal in terms of performance. I 65 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:50,240 mean, I'm not downloading Linux ISOs on my phone. It's just not something that I 66 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:54,320 recall ever seeing before. And Bluetooth at the same time is getting a big 67 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,040 upgrade from Bluetooth 5.3 with the Pixel 9 to Bluetooth 6.0, to which 68 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,199 offers better security as well as much better location tracking, which is a big 69 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:08,320 deal because I don't know about you guys, but for me, Apple's Find My 70 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:12,720 Network for device tracking is kind of a big deal. Now, let's poke around. Yeah, 71 00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:17,600 it's a almost as smooth as I would expect from a 60 72 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,039 >> to 120 Hz display. Nice to at least have 73 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,400 a high refresh rate display on your non-pro device, Apple. and I will open 74 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:28,320 up the camera. But first, I got to tell you about our sponsor, Dbrand, who's 75 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:31,919 showing off their grip case, a customizable phone case that can be 76 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:37,600 kitted out with any of the overpriced tape that Dbrand sells, like this white 77 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,919 Damascus, which I currently happen to also have installed on my car. They're 78 00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:46,720 trying to troll me with it, and I'm just like, dude, what are you even talking 79 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:52,639 about? This looks amazing. Installation of the Grip Case is so easy that anyone 80 00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:56,080 can do it. You just do that and then 81 00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:57,440 boom, no more hideous camera bump. Wow. 82 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:03,759 And there's more to love about it. The grip case is, as advertised, extremely 83 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,919 grippy and extremely rugged, helping to 84 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:10,319 protect your device from incidental drops and bumps. And the best part is if 85 00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:15,680 you want full body protection, you can save 15% by bundling the grip case with 86 00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:19,520 one of DBR's Prism screen protectors. The Prism comes with this super cool 87 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:24,000 installation tray that guarantees a flawless application every time. And 88 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,639 each order includes two screen protectors just in case you can't read 89 00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:33,280 instructions. If you want to take advantage of this bundle deal, just head 90 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,720 over to I am very short.com. All right, 91 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:39,039 there's a few things it wants me to enable in the camera. Motion photos. So 92 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,080 that's the little snippet of motion. This was actually kind of a big deal for 93 00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:45,280 my wife. She loved it about the iPhone. So, it's cool to see Samsung and Google 94 00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:49,840 having those features enabled on their phones, as well as top shot, which takes a few shots when you got a bunch of 95 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,759 people in the shot. And then auto best take, which takes the best one of those 96 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:58,639 top shots. There's lots of other camera features, including ones that use AI 97 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,800 both in the cloud as well as locally to do things like coaching you to find the 98 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,960 best angle and lighting as well as taking a picture and being in it, too. 99 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:12,080 As always, my expectations of the camera are extremely high. I mean, it might not 100 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:17,520 be the pro, but it is a Pixel. Processing, excellent. 101 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:22,880 Dynamic range, excellent. I mean, look at how well it handles the studio light 102 00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:24,479 and the dark background. Resolution, not 103 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,759 amazing, but hey, if you don't like that, maybe you should have bought a 104 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,479 Pro. Let's see how she does with the telephoto lens. Wow, Google, like pretty 105 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:38,000 much everyone. It's kind of struggling with color in this environment. 106 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,639 When adequately lit, it's a lot better. 107 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,919 But again, not the resolution of the Pro. Hey, Reys, want to be in a picture 108 00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:52,080 with me? >> Boy, do I. >> Stand uh more that way. 109 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:57,440 >> Now, you have to align the photo or align the frame and do the thing. 110 00:07:54,319 --> 00:08:00,240 >> I hate this. 111 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:05,759 Okay. Okay. You know what? There's a couple little things that I can notice 112 00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:08,879 about this. One is that it wasn't quite 113 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:11,199 sure what to do with the changing colors 114 00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:15,759 of the RGB lighting that we had behind us. So, it got a little confused there. 115 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:21,280 Also, I definitely have my hand on Reese's junk. 116 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,080 I'm not 100% sure if this is quite to 117 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:27,120 size scale. >> Scale is perfect. >> You think so? You think so? But hey, 118 00:08:25,599 --> 00:08:31,199 we're both in the picture. If I was just looking at it real quick styles, I think 119 00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:35,360 I'd think I'd probably mostly believe it. Does it have Android jutdder when 120 00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:39,599 you pan? It looks like it. Oh, this is a nice 121 00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:45,920 little feature I've been enjoying lately on my Android phones. Even when you have the portrait lock enabled, if it detects 122 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:50,160 that you're watching video, it'll give you a little, "Hey, would you like to 123 00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:54,399 rotate it?" When you do that, yes, I would. Apple might have it, too. I 124 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:58,640 literally don't know, but I do like that. Why is nothing as good as an 125 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:02,160 iPhone? But overall, this is pretty decent given what a challenging 126 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:07,680 situation this is. They've found a really good balance of maintaining 127 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:11,279 stability, but also allowing the camera to pan rather than kind of trying to 128 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,959 lock it on and then going, "Oh, oh, shoot. We're moving." 129 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:19,360 Actually, not bad. How's the selfie camera, though? 10 1/2 megapixels. Is 130 00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:24,720 that enough megapixels? The answer is yes. That's as close as I need to get to 131 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,360 my wrinkles. Good job, Google. Oh, yeah. It's pretty wide, too. You could fit all 132 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:33,400 kinds of other people in there. Like if you had friends. I don't, but you might. 133 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:35,440 Let's fire up some YouTube that I have. 134 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,600 Amplified earpiece. And already very 135 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:46,560 full rich sound. Tier 1 mobile devices have truly gotten remarkable in terms of 136 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,519 their audio quality. Like why do people buy Bluetooth speakers anymore? 137 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,839 Did I say tier one? I meant tier 138 00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:01,440 2.9. Maybe the Bluetooth speaker manufacturers are safe for now. I'm 139 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:04,480 watching this before the Labs team has actually had a chance to measure the 140 00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:10,240 display. But what I do know is that Google claims 2,000 nits of brightness 141 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:15,680 in HDR and 3,000 nits peak brightness using auto brightness outside of video 142 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:20,720 playback, which is very good, very modern, and looks fantastic under their 143 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:24,560 Victus 2 glass cover. Let's have a look at how the lab's results came in. Hello 144 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:28,000 again. When it comes to screens, Google clearly likes to flex as we were 145 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:32,959 regularly able to surpass their claimed peak brightness with us measuring a peak 146 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,519 luminance of 3,49 nits in HDR, which is 147 00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:39,760 29% brighter than last year's Pixel 9. Sheesh. Don't worry if you're not into 148 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:44,720 that new fangled HDR technology, you'll still see 3,32 nits in SDR, which is a 149 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,760 20% increase over the Pixel 9. Both of these results also totally trounce the 150 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:52,160 S25 Edge, if you're wondering. So, if you only watch videos outside in the sun, maybe this phone's for you. When it 151 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,920 comes to battery life, the Pixel 10 was able to get 17 and 12 hours of battery 152 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:59,200 life, which sounds like plenty, but is actually an hour and a half less than 153 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:03,440 last year's phone and is not really competitive with phones like the S25 154 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:08,720 Edge, which is much thinner. And that's all for me. Now, it's time to talk about 155 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:13,600 AI. Obviously, there's the incloud AI features. You've got an Ask Gemini 156 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:21,399 button right front and center on the home screen. Seriously? Oh, 157 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,399 it's for ShortCircuit. 158 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:28,959 AI really is getting smart. Anyway, the point is it's packed full of AI features 159 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:33,040 that Google's shown already, like their theft detection, as well as their 160 00:11:30,959 --> 00:11:37,680 ability to detect suspicious calls and text. But one of the ones that I am most 161 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:42,480 interested in is the new live translation feature that apparently 162 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:45,600 happens on device. Are we able to like try that? 163 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:52,720 >> Hello. >> Is that really how you say hello in Japanese? 164 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,959 Hello. Use live translate. Live translate.
