Why Stephen Curry switched to Google Pixel.

The four-time NBA champion uses Pixel to boost his productivity and capture perfect family moments.

When your entire career is built on optimizing performance, every choice matters. 

From your training regimen to your recovery, the goal is always to find an edge. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Stephen Curry – a four-time champion, entrepreneur, and philanthropist – is not only joining the Google family, but also making the switch to Google Pixel.

A partnership built on performance

This isn’t just an endorsement – it’s a true collaboration. Stephen is an expert in achieving peak performance, and at Google, we’re experts in building helpful technology. As the new Performance Advisor for Google Health, he is lending his expertise to help us build products that support a healthier lifestyle for everyone.

As part of this partnership, Stephen has also switched to the entire Pixel portfolio, including Pixel phones, the Google Pixel Watch, and Pixel Buds. For someone with such a demanding schedule, having technology that works simply and saves time is essential. His decision to switch was rooted in a simple discovery: Pixel’s built-in AI helps him get things done faster and more intuitively than ever before, without a steep learning curve.

Gaining an edge with Gemini

For a professional athlete and businessman, efficiency is everything. Stephen quickly saw how Gemini, built into his Pixel phone, could serve as his personal AI assistant and help him manage his life. Whether he’s drafting an email to his foundation,2 brainstorming ideas1 for his next project, or just looking up information on the fly, Gemini is there to help him do more, faster.1

Imagine needing to quickly summarize a long chain of emails while heading into practice, or wanting to generate creative ideas for a social media post. With Gemini, these tasks become simple and conversational.2 It’s this level of built-in intelligence that makes Pixel more than just a smartphone – it’s a helpful partner for productivity and creativity.1 The same power that helps Stephen streamline his day is available to every Pixel user, ready to help you tackle your to-do list or spark your next great idea.

A new way to capture memories

As a global icon, Stephen is used to being in front of the lens. But as a dad of four, he’s often the one behind it, trying to capture the perfect family photo. We’ve all been there – the perfect moment, ruined by a photobomber or bad lighting. To demonstrate some of our AI-powered magic, we pulled up a photo and said, “What if you could fix it just by asking?” Stephen was intrigued. With the help of editing in Google Photos we simply said, “Remove the glare.” In seconds, Google Photos on Pixel worked its magic, and the photo was transformed.3 Stephen’s reaction was immediate: “That’s a game-changer.” He talked about how much easier it would be to get the perfect shot, achieving post-worthy results without any editing expertise.

Then we showed him a little something for when he’s trying to get his kids to look at the camera. We pulled out a Pixel 10 Pro Fold and turned on Made You Look. Fun, silly animations popped up on the front screen, designed to make kids smile and look right at the camera. As a parent, he instantly got it. It’s a simple, delightful solution to a universal problem, and he loved it.

An ecosystem of helpfulness

The switch to Pixel is about more than just the phone. The Google Pixel Watch is a natural fit for a world-class athlete, helping him track workouts and stay connected on the move. And it pairs with Pixel Buds for top-notch audio.4 It’s a portfolio of devices that work seamlessly together.5

Stephen Curry’s career is a testament to the power of continuous improvement. His choice to switch to Pixel reflects that same mindset – finding smarter, more efficient ways to succeed. The powerful AI, the advanced camera, and the Pixel portfolio are tools that empower him in every aspect of his life. And the best part is, that same game-changing technology is available to you.
