Google Pixel 10 series: New camera features, AI tools, and colours expected
New Delhi
Google's upcoming Pixel 10 lineup is expected to debut several new AI-powered photo and imaging tools built on Gemini. As per a report from Android Headlines, the devices may offer features like a "Camera Coach" in the Camera app and "Conversational Photo Editing" in Google Photos, allowing users to enhance photos using text-based prompts.
The new features are likely to be announced at the Made by Google event on August 20 where Google will be launching its Pixel 10 series smartphones. Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a are also expected to tag along.
Google Pixel 10 series: New Gemini features
Camera Coach:
The Camera Coach tool will reportedly use Gemini's visual intelligence to offer real-time tips while taking photos — helping users fine-tune framing, lighting, and angles. It aims to guide users toward capturing better shots directly through the Camera app.
Conversational Photo Editing:
This feature will allow users to edit images simply by typing what they want changed — for example, removing background elements or altering the scene — without manually selecting specific tools. While similar editing tools exist today, Gemini integration is expected to make the process faster and more intuitive.
Google Pixel 10 series: What to expect
The Pixel 10 lineup is expected to include four devices — Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold — all of which will reportedly run on the new Google Tensor G5 chipset. Built using TSMC's 3nm process, the chip is expected to deliver performance and efficiency gains, along with a new custom image signal processor (ISP) for improved photo and video output.
On the camera front, the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro Fold might use the same main and ultra-wide sensors as the Pixel 9a, which would be a downgrade compared to the Pixel 9. However, Google may bring the 5x periscope telephoto lens from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to the base model. Meanwhile, the Pro and Pro XL models are expected to retain the same camera setup as last year.
The new Pixel phones are also expected to support the new 25W Qi2 magnetic wireless charging standard. Additionally, Google is reportedly preparing a new Pixelsnap accessory line, which will include custom magnetic wireless chargers and cases.
Google is also expected to offer the Pixel 10 series smartphones in new colour options. The company has already previewed the Pixel 10 Pro in a blue-grey shade, likely to be called 'Moonstone.' Additionally, a new 'Indigo' colourway is expected for the base variant. ALSO READ |
Google Pixel 10 series: India Availability
Google has already confirmed that the Pixel 10 series will be launching in India on August 21, with the company already confirming that the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will be made available in the region. However, there has been no confirmation of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
According to The Verge, ongoing 'supply chain issues' could push the launch of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a to October. The rest of the Pixel 10 lineup is expected to go on sale starting August 28.

iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Max to launch next month: Every upgrade expected for Apple's most powerful phones
Apple is all set to introduce its new iPhone 17 lineup at a launch event next month. While the Cupertino-based tech giant has not yet sent invites for its biggest launch event of the year, it usually follows a pattern of unveiling new iPhones in early September — and this year should be no different. With just a few weeks left before the upcoming iPhone launches, there has been a lot of speculation around the series. The most anticipated models are the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, so let's take a look at all the upgrades Apple is reportedly planning for its costliest devices. If leaks are to be believed, Apple is planning to ditch the titanium frame on the iPhone 17 Pro models this year and instead switch back to an aluminium frame. The new iPhones are likely to have an aluminium frame with the back featuring a half-aluminium, half-glass finish. Apart from helping with durability, the new design would still allow wireless charging thanks to the glass section. Meanwhile, Apple could replace the squarish camera island in favour of a large rectangular camera bump that will house the triple-camera setup (more on this later). The iPhone 17 Pro lineup could also have a new orange colour option — one of the more vibrant shades offered by Apple — a sharp departure from the muted colour options we have seen in the past. Apart from that, there could be four other available colours: black, white, grey, and dark blue. Apple could continue to offer the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in 6.3-inch and 6.8-inch sizes. The Cupertino-based tech giant might also finally offer an anti-reflective display coating similar to Samsung's Galaxy devices — though this leak should be taken with a pinch of salt for now. The Pro models could also see some changes to the Dynamic Island, which might be made slightly smaller. However, they could lose their exclusivity over the ProMotion technology, with leaks suggesting that Apple may expand it to all four iPhone models this year. The iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max could run on the new A19 Pro silicon from Apple, based on TSMC's new 3nm process technology. There could also be a big boost in RAM, with leaks suggesting the Pro variants may offer 12GB of RAM — up from the 8GB seen in all four iPhone 16 models last year. The upgrade would help improve the performance of Apple Intelligence features along with other multitasking tasks. Apple could also introduce a vapour chamber cooling system to help with heat dissipation and prevent thermal throttling in the iPhone 17 Pro series. The biggest upgrade for the iPhone 17 Pro Max could be in the battery department, with the phone rumoured to come with a 5,000mAh battery compared to the 4,676mAh unit seen in the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Meanwhile, both Pro models could, for the first time, get the ability to reverse wireless charge at 7.5W. They are also expected to support 45W wired fast charging and 25W wireless charging, even with third-party chargers. All the new iPhone 17 series models are expected to come with an improved 24MP front-facing camera, up from the 12MP shooter on the last generation. The sensor is expected to improve image quality while also allowing images to be cropped without quality loss. Meanwhile, the telephoto lens is also expected to be upgraded to 48MP from the 12MP shooter on the iPhone 16 models. With this change, the iPhone 17 Pro models would have three 48MP cameras — the wide and ultra-wide lenses are already at that resolution. The Pro models could also support recording up to 8K video. Apple might also add dual-video recording, a feature common in many Android phones, allowing users to record from both the front and rear cameras simultaneously.

How artificial intelligence is tackling mathematical problem-solving
The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is arguably the leading mathematical problem-solving competition. Every year, high school students from around the world attempt six problems over the span of three hours. Students whose scores cross a threshold, roughly corresponding to solving five of the six problems, obtain Gold medals, with Silver and Bronze medals for those crossing other thresholds. The problems do not require advanced mathematical knowledge, but instead test for mathematical creativity. They are always new, and it is ensured that no similar problems are online or in the literature. The AI gold medallist IMO 2025 had some unusual participants. Even before the Olympiad closed, OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, announced that an experimental reasoning model of theirs had answered the Olympiad at the Gold medal level, following the same time limits as the human participants. Remarkably, this was not a model specifically trained or designed for the IMO, but a general-purpose reasoning model with reasoning powers good enough for an IMO Gold. The OpenAI announcement raised some issues. Many felt that announcing an AI result while the IMO had not concluded overshadowed the achievements of the human participants. Also, the Gold medal score was graded and given by former IMO medalists hired by OpenAI, and some disputed whether the grading was correct. However, a couple of days later, another announcement came. Google-DeepMind attempted the IMO officially, with an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think. Three days after the Olympiad, with the permission of the IMO organisers, they announced that they had obtained a score at the level of a Gold medal. The IMO president Prof. Gregor Dolinar stated, 'We can confirm that Google DeepMind has reached the much-desired milestone, earning 35 out of a possible 42 points — a gold medal score. Their solutions were astonishing in many respects. IMO graders found them to be clear, precise and most of them easy to follow.' Stages of development Even as it became a popular sensation, ChatGPT was infamous both for hallucinations (making up facts) and for simple arithmetic mistakes. Both these would make solving even modest mathematical problems mostly impossible. The first advance that greatly reduced these errors, which came a few months after the launch of ChatGPT, was the use of so-called agents. Specifically, models were now able to use web searches to gather accurate information, and Python interpreters to run programs to perform calculations and check reasoning using numerical experiments. These made the models dramatically more accurate, and good enough to solve moderately hard mathematical problems. However, as a single error in a mathematical solution makes the solution invalid, these were not yet accurate enough to reach IMO (or research) level. Greater accuracy can be obtained by pairing language models with formal proof systems such as the Lean prover — a computer software that can understand and check proofs. Indeed, for IMO 2024 such a system from Google-DeepMind called AlphaProof obtained a silver medal score (but it ran for two days). Finally, a breakthrough came with the so-called reasoning models, such as o3 from OpenAI and Google-DeepMind's Gemini-2.5-pro. These models are perhaps better described as internal monologue models. Before answering a complex question, they generate a monologue considering approaches, carrying them out, revisiting their proposed solutions, sometimes dithering and starting all over again, before finally giving a solution with which they are satisfied. It were such models, with some additional advances, that got Olympiad Gold medal scores. Analogical reasoning and combining ingredients from different sources gives language models some originality, but probably not enough for hard and novel problems. However, verification either through the internal consistency of reasoning models or, better still, checking by the Lean prover, allows training by trying a large number of things and seeing what works, in the same way that AI systems became chess champions starting with just the rules. Such reinforcement learning has allowed recent models to go beyond training data by creating their own synthetic data. The implications Olympiad problems, for both humans and AIs, are not ends in themselves but tests of mathematical problem-solving ability. There are other aspects of research besides problem-solving. Growing anecdotal experiences suggest that AI systems have excellent capabilities in many of these too, such as suggesting approaches and related problems. However, the crucial difference between problem-solving and research/development is scale. Research involves working for months or years without errors creeping in, and without wandering off in fruitless directions. As mentioned earlier, coupling models with the Lean prover can prevent errors. Indications are that it is only a matter of time before this is successful. In the meantime, these models can act as powerful collaborators with human researchers, greatly accelerating research and development in all areas involving mathematics. The era of the super-scientist is here. Siddhartha Gadgil is a professor in the Department of Mathematics, IISc

Google Pixel 10 Series Could Launch With eSIM Support In Some Markets: Know More
Last Updated: Google Pixel 10 series is launching soon and it seems the company will have different variants for its markets. Google could follow Apple's path by ditching the physical SIM slot for eSIM only support with its new Pixel 10 series. We saw the iPhone 14 launch without traditional SIM support and only work through eSIM and it seems Google could have a similar plan for the Pixel 10 models, at least in some countries. eSIM has surely proven to be more effective and safe than regular SIM usage but the market is still very limited for its support, which explains why Apple and Google have kept its compatibility to select regions. SIM-Free Pixel 10 Launching Soon? The details about this rumour have come via Evan Blass, also known as EvLeaks. He shared a post on X where it says, the Pixel 10, 10 Pro and the 10 Pro XL will not have regular SIM tray, instead support eSIM connectivity. It is intriguing to see Blass share the details, and also points out that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold model will have both the SIM options, which has seemingly been covered via multiple design leaks of the new Pixel foldable. He is quick to mention that Google might keep the eSIM models limited to the US market, which is what Apple has done with its iPhones in the last few years in its home market. We'll have to wait for over a week to see what Google actually plans to offer and if it does make two different versions of its Pixel 10 models this year. Google is likely to persist with regular Pixel 10 variants in markets like India, Europe and other countries for a few more years. Google Pixel 10 series is launching in New York on August 20 and we expect the company to bring four new Pixel models including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold version. Google could also have a few products lining up, and some more updates around the new Android 16 version and Gemini AI updates for these devices. view comments First Published: August 11, 2025, 08:14 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
