Pixel 10 Reviews Tout Camera Gains as New Report Shows 3GB RAM Locked for AI

The fixed reservation on 12 GB models underscores an AI‑first approach that trades usable memory for always‑available on‑device processing.

Overview

  • Android Authority reporting, cited by CHIP, finds the standard Pixel 10 permanently reserves roughly 3 GB of its 12 GB RAM for AI tasks, leaving about 9 GB for other apps.
  • Google used the same 3 GB AI partition on last year’s Pro phones and now extends it to the non‑Pro model, signaling a consistent push toward on‑device Gemini features.
  • Hands‑on reviews highlight longer battery life, stronger zoom performance and advanced camera options such as high‑range zoom and 8K video capture.
  • In Mashable’s comparison reported by CHIP, the Pixel 10 Pro edged the Galaxy S25 Ultra in color and detail in many scenes, while Samsung remained stronger in portrait realism.
  • The lineup spans Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold slated for October delivery and not part of current review rounds.
