The newly launched Google Pixel 10 smartphone stirred the web since its inception. Better cameras, AI-based software, attractive looks, and interestingly enough, the phone brings with it features that are fast draining the battery of a phone galore, and to worsen the situation, it has brought in features without allowing the user to turn them off.
Pros and Cons of the Always-On AI feature?
The Pixel 10 has, within its bosom, an "Always-On AI" feature which works perpetually in the background for app suggestions, real-time translation, and background process optimization based on the user's behavior. The trade-off is heavy battery consumption.
The battery of the Google Pixel 10 Is Getting Shy
Users have sung complaints about the battery of the Pixel 10 draining away compared to older models. Test reports state the "Always On AI" feature, which chews away battery life, drawing about 15-20% more on a daily-use basis. This goes havoc on the lives of those spending longer hours operating the phone.
And No Option to Turn It Off
Most controversial is the absence of an option to turn this feature off on the Pixel 10. Users have searched for it in the settings menu without success, and Google calls it a "core feature" of the OS, meaning there is no way for users to turn it off.
The User Response
Many people have voiced this concern about the Pixel 10 via social media. Some have posted, "AI benefits are good, but at the cost of battery?" Others have questioned whether Google is taking away users' freedom.
No doubt Pixel 10 is a smartphone made ahead of time. But the unswitchable Always-On AI feature rather infamously spoils the battery. If it allows users to disable this feature in a software update in the future, it will surely be a lifesaver for many.
