While the display hardware has only seen a modest upgrade on the surface, Google has equipped the Pixel 10 with new software features to improve the viewing experience.

This process ensures visuals appear consistent, as our perception of a screen\u2019s white balance changes with the ambient light \u2014 often making displays look overly blue in warmer, indoor lighting.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_ng\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Display settings on Pixel 10\"  alt=\"Display settings on Pixel 10\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Display-settings-on-Pixel-10-scaled.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>C. Scott Brown \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>If this feature sounds familiar, that\u2019s because the Pixel 10 is far from the first device to have it. Apple calls its version True Tone, while Samsung has a similar feature named adaptive color tone. Google itself isn\u2019t new to this technology; its Nest Hub displays have had a similar feature called Ambient EQ for years. Ambient EQ even made its way to phones with the 2019 Pixel 4, but Google removed it from the Pixel 5 onward. While the feature briefly reappeared on the 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-pixel-tablet-2024-commentary-3497252\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixel Tablet<\/a>, the Pixel 10 marks its welcome return to the phone lineup after a five-generation absence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-pixel-10-ambient-eq-3565289\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As we reported back in June<\/a>, Google has reintroduced this functionality on the Pixel 10 series under a new name: Adaptive Tone. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/answer\/6111557?hl=en#zippy=%2Cscreen-settings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support page<\/a>, the feature is available across the entire Pixel 10 lineup and works just like the original Ambient EQ did on the Pixel 4.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Adaptive Tone, the Pixel 10 also introduces a new setting to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-10-pwm-dimming-confirmed-3589686\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">optimize the display for users with flicker sensitivity<\/a>. While this may not make the device the absolute best phone for flicker-sensitive users, it\u2019s a welcome improvement over previous Pixel models.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
