Google Pixel Marks 10 Years, Expanding Beyond Phones With Tensor and Accessories

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Google · Oct 4

Summary

  • October 4 marks 10 years since Google launched the first Pixel, a smartphone line that has outlasted early doubts and continues to grow.
  • Google kept investing through uneven years that included criticism of the Pixel 2 XL display, Pixel 3 XL notch and the broader Pixel 4 lineup.
  • That persistence widened Pixel from a single flagship into a broader hardware push with mid-range phones, in-house Tensor chips and an accessories ecosystem.
  • Reader sentiment in 9to5Google's anniversary poll suggests the line still has momentum, with the Pixel 10 Pro XL leading as the best Pixel so far.
