Google officially teases Pixel 10 series ahead of official launch: 8 things to expect
Google has confirmed that the Pixel 10 series will be unveiled on August 20 at the Made by Google 2025 event. While the company has teased the design, recent leaks and rumors have revealed much about the upcoming smartphones. Here are eight things to expect from the Pixel 10 lineup.
Four models expected The Pixel 10 series is likely to mirror the Pixel 9 lineup, with a base Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and a Pixel 10 Pro Fold. This would cover both standard and foldable form factors.
New third camera on the base Pixel 10 Unlike its predecessor, the base Pixel 10 is expected to include a telephoto camera alongside a 48MP wide-angle and 13MP ultrawide lens. Leaks suggest this telephoto sensor will be 10.8MP, giving the entry model a more versatile camera setup.
Enhanced Pro model cameras The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL are tipped to feature a 50MP wide-angle, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP telephoto camera. This aligns with Google’s push to offer higher-grade optics on the Pro variants.
New color options According to reports, the Pixel 10 will come in Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, and Lemonade, while the Pro variants will be available in Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone, and Jade. These color choices expand customization options for buyers.
Pricing similar to Pixel 9 Despite ongoing tariff concerns, the Pixel 10 series is rumored to keep the same starting prices as last year. The base Pixel 10 could start at $799, with the Pro and Pro XL models going up to $1,549 for the highest storage variants.
Qi2 magnetic charging support One of the biggest hardware upgrades could be Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets, enabling compatibility with magnetic accessories like wallets, chargers, and mounts—similar to Apple’s MagSafe.
Tensor G5 chip debut The series will be powered by the new Tensor G5 chipset, reportedly built on TSMC’s 3nm process. While early benchmarks suggest it may not match the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s speed, it is expected to deliver solid performance optimized for Pixel’s AI-driven features.
Possible Pixel 10 Pro Fold refresh Though not heavily leaked, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may make an appearance with minor design and hardware upgrades, alongside the Tensor G5 chip.
