Pixel 10 Centers Calls on On‑Device AI as Google Begins Global Rollout

Key calling features are expanding to more countries, with Android Auto integration to follow later this year.

Overview

  • Google detailed nine Pixel 10 calling and messaging upgrades powered by Tensor G5 and Gemini Nano, led by Magic Cue for in‑call info from Gmail and Messages and an on‑device Voice Translate that preserves each speaker’s voice.
  • Call Screen and Scam Detection are extending to Australia, Canada, Ireland and India, with Scam Detection also reaching Great Britain, a beta of Manual Call Screen in India starting in English and Hindi, and planned translation of screened calls for India.
  • Call Notes now suggests calendar events, tasks and reminders, offers an option to enable on every call with a three‑second initiation timer, and begins beta rollouts in Australia, Canada, India and Ireland.
  • Take a Message delivers real‑time transcripts for missed or declined calls, filters spam using Google’s detection algorithms, and identifies suggested next steps with AI.
  • Basic Call Recording is coming to Pixel 6 and newer in all Pixel‑supported countries with a privacy disclaimer and a rollout through the rest of the year, while Android Auto access adds Call Screen with Call Notes support promised later this year.
