Google Pixel 10 is the entry point to the new Pixels, yet again, following closely on its predecessor, the Pixel 9. But this year, the base Pixel 10 model is no longer the model that misses out on some must-have features. The perfect case in point is the new telephoto sensor onboard the Pixel 10 that makes the smartphone much more versatile. There are other improvements as well, such as an all-new TSMC-made chip, battery enhancements, and more, which I will discuss in this review.

The Pixel 9a, Google's latest mid-range smartphone, uses the same winning formula as its predecessors. It's the most affordable Pixel phone in the 9 series, and if you're someone who loves to take photos, the 9a is a great option. There are a couple of changes this year in terms of design. Unlike last year's Pixel 8a, which was rounded and resembled the Pixel 8, the new Pixel 9a looks significantly different. It has flat sides and the familiar Pixel camera bar, but it now sits flush against the rear.

Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 is not only a big leap in terms of design but also comes with a host of new features. Design and features aside, these are also the first commercially available earbuds specifically designed to let you summon and have a conversation with Google's new Gemini Live virtual AI assistant. Some of these features, including the ability to speak to Gemini Live, are available on the older Buds Pro. However, Google has put its first-ever audio chip, called the Tensor A1, to use in other places. And the differences it brings are sure make the Buds Pro 2 a solid upgrade over the previous model.
