Exclusive: Google Pixel 10 could be bringing this Pixel 4 feature back
Google Pixel 10 Pro XL Android Headlines
  • Google is likely bringing its True Tone-like “Ambient EQ” feature back to its phones.
  • Originally featured on the Pixel 4, it was only ever brought back to the Pixel Tablet.
  • The feature has been renamed “Adaptive tone” and is coming to the Pixel 10 series.

The Google Pixel 4 was a revolutionary phone in many ways. Inexplicably, Google introduced so many features with this phone — and then never brought them back after that. From probably the safest face unlock you could get (two whole IR cameras!) to a fricking radar, the Pixel 4 was all around revolutionary.

Another feature that was only present on the Pixel 4 was the Ambient EQ, a feature that dynamically adjusted the display’s white balance based on your environment’s lighting conditions. The feature is really similar to Apple’s True Tone. Unfortunately, it disappeared on the Pixel 5 and only ever came back on the Pixel Tablet.
