The new artificially intelligent Pixel can help people streamline certain tasks. But that efficiency may not be worth the data you give up, our reviewer writes.

Pixel devices have always been a reflection of how Google sees Android, as well as a platform to showcase its own apps and technology advances. In the current era, this vision encompasses Google’s consumer AI suite.

The Pixel 10 is still fundamentally the touchscreen phone experience that Apple pioneered with the original iPhone. Android 16, with the new Material 3 Expressive design language, is still a home screen of app icons and widgets that you tap and swipe through.
