Summary
Seven lesser-known Pixel 10 features highlighted in the latest guide include Gemini Screen Automation, App Bubbles multitasking, Notification Organizer and a Google Maps power-saving navigation mode.
Google added many of them after the August 2025 launch through Android 16 and 17 updates plus Feature Drops, extending the phone’s capabilities beyond its original headline AI tools.
Android Desktop Mode now lets the Pixel 10 drive an external monitor with floating windows and up to four virtual desktops, while App Bubbles can keep as many as five apps ready in floating form.
Gemini’s screen awareness can answer questions about whatever is displayed, but the guide recommends turning off the default press-and-hold power-button shortcut and restoring the standard power menu.
The roundup points to more Pixel 10 additions later in 2026 with Android 17 QPR1, including AI-generated widgets, redesigned 3D emojis and rotating lock-screen photo wallpapers.
