A new generation of intelligent devices is here, a reality ushered in by Google at its “Made by Google” event. The company’s shift toward an AI-first ecosystem, centered on the Pixel 10, introduces a pivotal opportunity for IT leaders: deploying a fleet that is more powerful and autonomous than ever before.
This is precisely the landscape Applivery is designed to master. Our platform provides a “Pixel-First” approach and a natively integrated solution within Android Enterprise , offering the control and robust security needed to manage your fleet of new Google Pixel devices and truly unlock their full potential.
The Pixel 10 Series: productivity for the workspace of the future
Google’s new device redefines what it means to be productive. The Pixel 10 series, with the new Tensor G5 chip at its heart, is not just a collection of smartphones; it’s a powerful tool for the workspace of the future. The Tensor G5 is optimized for efficient AI processing on the device, rather than raw performance metrics alone.
This allows for a new kind of device intelligence that empowers users to do everyday things in an extraordinary way. Features like Magic Cue and Camera Coach are key examples of this. Magic Cue proactively suggests relevant information from apps like Gmail or Maps based on the user’s context, helping them find what they need without switching apps. Camera Coach, powered by Gemini, gives real-time tips on composition and angles to get the perfect photo, enhancing a professional’s ability to capture high-quality images for work.
For digital leaders, the durability of the devices is just as important as their intelligence. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the first foldable with a full IP68 water and dust resistance rating, directly addressing a major durability concern for high-end devices. This makes it a robust option for any work environment, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) and making the adoption of foldable technology in corporate fleets more viable.
Expanding the AI universe: Pixel Watch and Pixel Buds
The new Pixel Watch 4 and the Pixel Buds 2a and Pro 2 demonstrate Google’s ambition to create an ecosystem of interconnected devices, where each is an intelligent node.
The Pixel Watch 4 has been reimagined as a health and safety companion with an AI-optimized Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 processor and a significant improvement in battery life, now offering up to 40 hours on its 45mm model. The watch incorporates an AI Health Coach and a standalone satellite SOS function, a first for a wearable.
For their part, the new Pixel Buds now include active noise cancellation (ANC) even on the budget model. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 employ “Silent Seal 2.0” for a more advanced noise cancellation experience. These features show how AI enhances the audio experience across the entire range.
The evolving Android Enterprise landscape
To effectively manage Google’s new, highly integrated hardware and software ecosystem, you need a platform that is perfectly aligned with it. Applivery’s unique relationship with the Google ecosystem ensures that your device fleet is always ready for what’s next.
- Pixel-First and Day-Zero support
Applivery is a Pixel-first platform, rigorously testing all features and updates on Google Pixel devices. By directly connecting with the Android Management API, we guarantee “Day-Zero Support”, ensuring any changes or enhancements are automatically reflected in the Applivery Dashboard.
- Android 16 and enhanced control
The early release of Android 16 (API 36) on Pixel devices introduces stricter limits on background services and new APIs. This creates a more controlled and secure environment, allowing Applivery to leverage these changes for more detailed security policies and greater fleet management visibility.
- The broader ecosystem
The improved durability of devices like the Pixel Fold directly translates to a reduction in the total cost of ownership by minimizing device failures, a key benefit for fleet managers.
Applivery’s foundational strengths: the perfect solution for Google Pixel
To manage a fleet of intelligent devices, you need a platform with equal sophistication. Applivery provides the simplicity and control required to manage the new Pixel to its full potential.
- Seamless deployment
As part of the Google Pixel Manage Program, Applivery supports Android Zero-Touch Enrollment, allowing organizations to configure and deploy devices remotely without manual intervention, facilitating efficient, large-scale rollouts. Furthermore, Applivery offers Smart Enrollments in combination with Google Workspace and Context-Aware access integrations, which automates device enrollment based on user and device information.
- Unified security and control
Our platform, natively integrated within Android Enterprise, ensures secure and efficient device administration. Our conditional access capabilities allow businesses to define rules for accessing corporate applications and data based on a device’s health, automatically blocking access if security requirements are not met.
- Flexibility for every use case
We provide secure and efficient device administration for a variety of use cases, including corporate-owned devices (Fully Managed, COPE) and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) with a separate work profile.
- Available on Google Cloud Marketplace
Applivery is accessible through the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Marketplace, enabling seamless integration and streamlined procurement for organizations utilizing Google Cloud services.
