If you decided to hold on to the Pixel 10 instead of splurging on the Pixel 11 (great decision, by the way), I have some really good news for you. 

Google’s latest Pixel Drop brings Gemini Intelligence, the agentic AI ability that basically executes multi-step tasks on your behalf, to the baseline Pixel 10, the Pixel 10 Pro, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.  

What can Gemini actually do for you now?

The Pixel Drop rolls out for eligible devices from November 10, 2026. 

Let’s begin with the headline act: Gemini Intelligence. Once you get the update, you’ll be able to tell Gemini to order groceries, book cabs, arrange food delivery at your address, handle marketplace deals, or even make a reservation. Even listing all those tasks has left me somewhat exhausted.

If you’ve spent hours listening to hold music, the November Pixel Drop has something specifically for you. Using your own number, Gemini can make or change a restaurant reservation, ask a store to hold an item for you, check inventory, and get back (in the US). 

Gemini also gets more proactive for day-to-day tasks on the Pixel 10. Highlight a passage and the contextual menu can give you a short summary, and grocery items mentioned in a conversation can go straight to Google Keep, the company’s notes app. 

What else is new, and what’s the catch?

Apart from these, you get Create My Widget, which lets you build a home screen widget for your own routine. You can either pick from curated suggestions or describe what you want in plain English. 

Finally, Extreme Charging Mode, which pushes charging speed to the maximum possible level, is reaching all four Pixel 10 flagship models. Unfortunately, the Pixel 10a doesn’t seem to be included this time (perhaps because of the Tensor G4 chip).

Now the catch. Everything except Rambler, which Google lists as available in all regions and languages, rolls out in select regions and languages, and calling is limited to the US in English. So, if you’re outside the US, you might want to check the fine print on the official blog post.
