Google Beta-Testing Agentic AI in Android

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 16:55:26 GMT

Google is beginning to roll out an "agentic" version of Google Gemini AI for Android, meaning you can ask Gemini to perform multi-step tasks on its own on your phone. Gemini will carry out these steps in a "virtual window" in the background, with a live notification showing progress on the task over time (with the option to stop at any time). The feature is strictly limited to select apps and devices for now, and is only in "beta" testing status. The feature is launching first on the Google Pixel 10 series and Samsung Galaxy S26 series. Initially, it is designed to work only with "select apps in the food, grocery and rideshare categories". As an example, you could ask Gemini to "reorder your last meal on DoorDash".

Google Pixel 10 Series Puts Big Upgrades In a Familiar Skin

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 17:35:31 GMT

Google has announced its latest lineup of Pixel phones. The four Pixel 10 models have the same naming scheme and basic outer designs as last year's Pixel 9 series, but manage to make important upgrades to the batteries, cameras, processor, and durability. They also include Qi2 magnetic wireless charging. The base Pixel 10 model now has a dedicated 5x optical zoom camera for the first time. New AI features include "Pro Res Zoom" on the Pro models, which uses generative AI to deliver zoom up to 100x. There's also "Magic Cue", which uses on-device AI "to proactively offer the right information at the right time" in apps like Messages and Phone. "For instance, when you're calling an airline, it can automatically find your flight details from your email and display it during your phone call." For the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google developed a new gearless hinge that helps enable the first IP68 dust- and water-resistance rating in a foldable phone. The Fold also has larger displays and what Google claims is the largest battery of any foldable. All four are powered by a new Google Tensor G5 chip bringing better performance (34% faster CPU and 60% more powerful on AI tasks). Google promises seven years of full software updates. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL ship August 28 for $799, $999, and $1199, respectively. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold starts at $1799 and ships October 9.
