Google is showcasing the customizable aspects of the Pixel 10 phone.
The company published a blog filled with tips and tricks for personalizing your device. They shared four tips — be sure to check out the complete list — but we’ve emphasized a couple that are especially surprising or beneficial.
1. Use Magic Cue
Google suggests utilizing Magic Cue, an AI-driven assistant, for tailoring your Pixel 10. It can navigate through messages and emails to automatically resolve issues, saving time by “proactively locating information you might need to research,” as stated by Mashable’s Cecily Mauran.
You can “toggle Magic Cue on or off whenever you wish, and manage what data it can access,” according to Google. Adjusting these settings can enhance your phone’s functionality. For instance, if it effectively organizes your meetings, make sure it has access to your calendar and work emails.
2. Personalize the visual aesthetics
The new Pixel interface, Material 3 Expressive, presents various options for modifying your phone’s look. Mashable’s Alex Perry noted that it offers “deeper color customization” and a “more vibrant” appearance.
Google’s blog mentions different customization features, such as altering wallpapers and button designs. They commented:
“Unique to Pixel, Material 3 Expressive’s Live Effects provides more expressive photo wallpapers by adjusting to your notifications and showing contextual information in a more immersive and glanceable manner. Material 3 Expressive also introduces 14 new or improved components with enhanced configuration options, such as varying typography emphasis in different sections, adjusting color palettes, or modifying the shapes of icon buttons.”
The Pixel 10 phone offers a plethora of exciting features to discover. It includes, for example, a high-quality camera and live translation capabilities. It’s also fantastic that you can personalize the phone to be distinctly yours.
