Google Pixel 10 flopped on launch: users experienced screen distortion the day after receiving the phone

Google launched its annual flagship Google Pixel 10 series on August 20 local time. The starting price of the series is US$799 (approximately RMB 5,700).

A netizen posted on a social platform that he encountered a screen distortion problem the day after he got the Google Pixel 10. The screen distortion appeared when the user opened the App, and it returned to normal after locking the screen and reopening it.

In response to this, Google has contacted the user and is currently following up. Some netizens believe that this is not a hardware failure, but may be related to the GPU driver of Google Tensor G5.

It is reported that the Google Tensor G5 chip is manufactured based on TSMC’s 3nm process and adopts a 1+5+2 architecture. It includes 1 super core, 5 large cores and 2 small cores. The maximum frequency is 3.78GHz, and it integrates the PowerVR DXT-48-1536 GPU. It is Google’s most powerful mobile phone chip.

Unlike other mobile phones, Google Pixel 10 can run the Gemini Nano model locally. Thanks to Google’s highest Android authority, Gemini Nano is embedded in all built-in applications, bringing a better AI experience.

Li Nan, founder of Nu Miao Technology, once said that the Google Pixel 10 series is a real AI phone, and all AI phones before it were just gimmicks.
