Google Pixel 10 Pro to Feature Faster Boot Times and Performance Upgrades
Google is preparing to launch the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro, with new details revealing significant performance improvements. Updates in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code suggest faster boot times and enhanced efficiency for the upcoming devices.
Pixel 10 Pro to Boot 30% Faster
A Google engineer's notes in the AOSP code indicate that the Pixel 10 will see a 30% reduction in loading time during boot-up. The Pixel Fold, likely referring to the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold, will experience a 25% improvement.
These gains are attributed to a "parallel module loading" routine, which optimises how the device processes tasks when starting up. The improvements suggest that Google's next-generation Tensor G5 chipset will power the Pixel 10 series, replacing the Tensor G4 used in the Pixel 9 lineup.
Performance Gains Across Pixel Devices
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold's lower speed increase compared to the standard Pixel 10 models may be due to the physical constraints of foldable devices. Despite this, the performance boost remains notable.
Since these updates are part of the main AOSP branch, similar enhancements could extend to other Android devices over the next 12 to 18 months. However, Pixel smartphones will likely be the first to showcase these advancements when they launch with the latest Android version.
The Pixel 10 will feature a 30% faster boot time, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will see a 25% improvement.
The performance boost is linked to a "parallel module loading" routine in the AOSP code.
The Pixel 10 series is expected to run on the new Tensor G5 chipset.
