The Pixel 10 will have faster startup performance thanks to this Android change

Thanks to some early leaks, we know what most phones in the Google Pixel 10 series will look like. We’re still months away from the launch of the Pixel 10 series, though, so there’s a lot we still don’t know when it comes to the new Pixel-only features they’ll have. While I don’t have any information to share on new Pixel software features, I did spot evidence that the Pixel 10 series will feature faster startup performance.

While I was browsing the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code review last week, I spotted a code change that explicitly references the Pixel 10. In the description for the code change titled “Parallel Module Loading: Add performance mode,” a Google engineer says the change was tested on a Pixel 10, resulting in a 30% reduction in “loading time.”
