Pixel 10 Debuts with Three Cameras, Including a 5x Telephoto First

Google’s new Pixel 10 marks a significant evolution for the standard model, now featuring a triple-camera system on the back for the first time. The addition of a 10.8-megapixel 5x telephoto camera brings a new level of photographic versatility to the base model, which previously had only two cameras.
This upgrade allows Pixel 10 users to capture high-quality zoomed-in shots without relying on digital cropping, a feature previously reserved for more expensive “Pro” models. The new telephoto lens joins the main and ultrawide cameras, creating a comprehensive imaging system capable of handling a wide variety of shooting scenarios.
Beyond the hardware, the camera experience is enhanced by AI. A new “Camera Coach” feature uses Google’s servers to analyze the scene in front of you and suggest better ways to frame your shot, adjust your angle, or improve lighting. This makes professional-looking photography more accessible to casual users.
This powerful camera system is part of a broader update that includes the new Tensor G5 chip and the proactive “Magic Cue” AI assistant. The Pixel 10, starting at $799, is positioned as a feature-packed flagship that no longer compromises on camera flexibility.
