Summary created by Smart Answers AI In summary: Tech Advisor explores six advanced AI features of the Google Pixel 10 Pro, powered by the Tensor G5 chip, including vibe-coding for app creation and real-time conversation translation. These capabilities matter for users seeking cutting-edge smartphone functionality, from measuring object temperatures with the built-in thermometer to generating music through the Recorder app. The device surpasses iPhone’s Siri with features like Camera Coach for photography tips and Google Gemini integration for creating high-quality video clips from text prompts. Not every phone is the same, something that’s increasingly important in a crowded market that includes last fall’s iPhones, Samsung’s new S26 models, and the trusty Google Pixel 10 Pro phone. The Pixel 10 Pro, for one, has some hidden functionality and unique AI features that make it stand out. Want to find out the temperature of any object? Hold a conversation where the phone not only translates what you say but uses your own voice in the translation? I was surprised at how advanced this model is even compared to the mighty iPhone, now falling behind in terms of AI features, most notably in the case of the Siri voicebot. Here are the most unusual and surprising features, along with how to make the most of them and where to find them on your Pixel phone. 1. Create a song by humming it into the Recorder app I was amazed how this one works, even if the final results were a bit underwhelming. Using the Recorder app that is included by default on the Pixel 10 Pro, you can hum or whistle a tune (or sing if you’re comfortable doing that) and the app will generate a backing track.

That’s not as cumbersome as it seems, but there isn’t an app. I typed in my prompt and within about five minutes had a fully functional website that used a trendy, colorful design. While other phones let you access Google AI Studio, the Pixel 10 Pro makes it fast and easy. 3. Make a phone call and translate the audio so it’s your voice speaking another language I had so much fun testing this one that it’s a little embarrassing to admit. My daughter is fluent in German, so I made several calls using the main phone dialer and was shocked to discover this feature translates what you say – using your own voice. It’s breathtaking, to be honest, to speak another language in your own voice That meant, during the call, I would speak in English and the bot would translate everything in real-time, but my daughter heard me speaking in German (and vice versa, even though English is her native tongue.) John Brandon / Foundry As many of us have come to realize, phones are now an interface to interact with AI, and the movie I made is a good example of that. The resulting video looked colorful and vibrant, to the point where you might not even realize it was generated in less than two minutes by a bot. All I had to do was fire up Gemini and type my prompt – it could not be any easier. 5. Have the phone coach you on taking a photo I need help when it comes to photography, especially since I lose track of all of the settings available, don’t always point the camera in the right direction, and even struggle with setting up a scene for the best results. Not a problem when you use a Pixel 10 Pro. It’s wizardly how it can improve your shots Using the Camera app, you can enable the coaching feature just by clicking a small icon at the top of the app. Once enabled, you’ll see coaching tips that suggest moving closer to a subject, straightening your viewing angle so it’s not off-kilter, and adjusting settings such as exposure and brightness. It’s wizardly how it can improve your shots. I experimented with photos of a product I’m testing and the Pixel 10 Pro suggested using a straighter angle, even showing line markings to help me make sure everything looked more professional.
