The Pixel 10 could benefit from high-end video stabilization, on par with the results achieved by using a gimbal.
Android smartphones have never yet managed to outperform iPhones in video, an area in which Apple outrageously dominates the competition. The next Pixels could make up for some of this loss with extremely powerful image stabilization to cancel out the effects of shaking when filming.
The information comes from Android Headlines, which is very enthusiastic about this improvement, which would be available on all the next-generation models: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. “We can confirm that Google will launch a greatly improved image stabilization. Imagine a Pixel 10 on a DJI Osmo Mobile 6, but without this gimbal. That's how good this new image stabilization will be,” assures the media.
Gimbal-quality stabilization for the Pixel 10?
The promise is crazy, almost too much? It's hard to imagine that you could film in such good conditions with a Pixel 10 alone as with a gimbal, especially since the DJI Osmo Mobile is a market benchmark. Android Headlines doesn't explain how Google would achieve this technical feat. With a software feature? With a stabilizer integrated into the wide-angle camera sensor? A mix of the two? All of this remains a mystery.
In addition to this stabilization, which promises to be exceptional, the base Pixel 10 could be equipped with a telephoto lens, while this model is traditionally limited to two lenses. Otherwise, we don't expect major changes to the sensors of the different models. Leaked photos of the Pixel 10 Pro also suggest that Google won't be shaking up the design of this generation, after the Pixel 9s, which had shuffled the cards.
In any case, we can't wait to get our hands on these devices to test this famous video stabilization. According to the same source, the Pixel 10 will be presented on August 20th at a Made by Google event. Pre-orders will open immediately afterward, and the smartphones will officially be released on August 28th, a few days before the iPhone 17.
