Get unbelievable photos from incredible distances with Pro Zoom.

Exclusive to Pixel 10 Pro, this remarkable new camera system lets you zoom up to 100x,1 capturing stunningly sharp and detailed photos from farther away than ever.

Have you ever been at a concert or sporting event, or on a beautiful hike, and seen the perfect photo opportunity – only for it to be too far away?

You try to zoom in with your phone, but the result is a blurry, pixelated image that doesn’t do the moment justice. It’s a common frustration that has limited what we can capture with our smartphones. With the new Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, that frustration is finally a thing of the past.

Introducing Pro Zoom, a pro-level feature that represents a revolutionary leap beyond previous technologies like Super Res Zoom. It delivers the longest, highest-quality zoom ever on a Pixel, so you can capture unbelievable closeups from far away.

A new way to get closer

Traditionally, smartphone zoom has come with a compromise. Optical zoom is great but limited to 0.5x, 1x, and 5x. Digital zoom can go further, but it typically works by simply cropping and enlarging a part of the image, which leads to a significant loss of detail and quality. The result is often a photo that you wouldn’t want to share or print.

Tired of Blurry, Pixelated Zoom?

That’s a thing of the past. The new Google Pixel 10 Pro with Pro Zoom uses a powerful 48 MP telephoto lens and generative AI to capture unbelievable, high-quality closeups from far away.

Pro Zoom on Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL changes the game completely. It’s not just a simple digital crop or a basic AI enhancement. Think of it as a sophisticated system that pairs the power of brand-new hardware with Google’s cutting-edge AI. At its heart is an upgraded 48 MP 5x telephoto lens, which works in concert with best-in-class generative AI imaging models running directly in the Pixel Camera.

When you pinch to zoom, the phone isn’t just stretching pixels. It’s activating Pixel’s sophisticated zoom technology, which has always integrated state-of-the-art hardware, software, and AI. This builds on the foundation of Super Res Zoom, which already uses advanced machine learning, multiple cameras, and software like HDR+ to deliver high-quality images up to 30x.

To push quality even higher, Pro Zoom introduces powerful new generative models. Powered by the incredible Google Tensor G5 chip, this system captures multiple image frames, analyzes the scene, and uses generative AI to rebuild the distant image with new, detail-rich pixels. The result is a final photo with incredible detail and sharpness, allowing you to zoom smoothly across the entire range all the way up to an astonishing 100x.

What this means for your photos

Having Pro Zoom in your pocket opens up a whole new world of possibilities for your photography.

  • For the moments that matter: Use it to zoom in from a few rows back at a school play to capture the scene, or get stunning, close-up portraits of your pets without disturbing them. And for subjects much farther away, you can capture distant landscapes or wildlife with incredible clarity, getting the perfect shot from any distance.

  • For the traveler and adventurer: When you’re exploring a new city, you can capture the intricate architectural details on a historic building from street level. On a nature hike, you can get a breathtaking closeup of a flower on a distant hillside or a bird in a tree without taking a single step closer. It’s like having a bag of professional lenses right in your pocket, ready for any scene.

  • For the concert-goer and sports fan: Those seats in the back row no longer feel so far away. Pro Zoom lets you capture the action on stage or on the field with amazing clarity. You can get sharp, share-worthy photos of your favorite stadium or field, making your memories of the event much more vivid and exciting.

The best camera, made even better

The Pixel Camera has always been a standout, and Pro Zoom is one of the key pro-only features that makes the Pixel 10 Pro camera the best on any smartphone. It’s a perfect example of Google’s unique approach to photography, where custom hardware like the Google Tensor G5 chip and the pro triple rear camera system work seamlessly with our most powerful, helpful AI.

This isn’t just about enhancing photos anymore; it’s about intelligently creating them. Enjoy the confidence to frame your shot exactly how you want, without being limited by distance. The world is full of amazing details, and with Pro Zoom on Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, you can finally capture them all.
