Excitement is building among the fans of the Google Pixel smartphone with the launch of the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro (and a reported Pro XL version).
A series of leaks have surfaced, shedding light on potential features and design elements.
Here's a comprehensive overview of what is so far available:
Design and dimensions
Leaked CAD-based renders suggest that the Pixel 10 Pro will maintain a design language similar to its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro.
The device is expected to measure 152.8 x 72 x 8.6mm, making it marginally thicker than the Pixel 9 Pro, which had a thickness of 8.5mm.
The iconic horizontal camera bar, often referred to as the "visor," appears to be retained, with subtle refinements to its aesthetic.
Display
The Pixel 10 Pro is anticipated to feature a 6.3-inch display, consistent with the Pixel 9 Pro, according to 9to5google.
While specific details about resolution and refresh rate remain undisclosed, it's plausible that Google will continue to offer high-resolution panels with smooth refresh rates, aligning with industry standards for flagship devices.
Camera system
One of the most notable revelations from the leaks is the inclusion of a third rear camera on the Pixel 10 series.
This addition is speculated to be a periscope telephoto lens, enhancing the device's zoom capabilities.
Previously, the standard Pixel models featured main and ultrawide cameras, reserving telephoto lenses for the Pro variants, as per The Verge.
The integration of a telephoto lens in the Pixel 10 Pro could signify Google's commitment to bolstering its photography offerings.
Processor and performance
The upcoming Pixel 10 series is expected to be powered by Google's in-house Tensor G5 chip, manufactured by TSMC.
What's to expect?
* 6.3" | 6.7" QHD+ OLED 120Hz LTPO flat display
* Tensor G5 (tsmc 3nm) chipset
* 16GB RAM
* 50MP main + 48MP UW + 48MP Telephoto
* 42MP front
* 4700mAh | 5060mAh + 45W wired & 25W Wireless
* Android 16 out-of-the-box + 7
This next-generation processor is anticipated to deliver enhanced performance and improved energy efficiency.
Early reports suggest that the Tensor G5 will address overheating issues observed in previous models, offering a more stable user experience.
Additional features
It is also expected to launch with the new “Pixel Sense” AI assistant.
While the leaks provide substantial information about the design and hardware, details regarding other features such as battery capacity, charging capabilities, and software enhancements remain scarce.
However, it's reasonable to expect that the Pixel 10 Pro will ship with the latest version of Android, incorporating Google's newest software innovations.
Looks like my benchmark and numbers people will have fun with this.
Official specs and features will only be confirmed upon Google's formal announcement. Nonetheless, the Pixel 10 Pro (and Pro XL) is shaping up to be a compelling contender in the flagship smartphone market.
Availability & Price
The Pixel 10 is widely expected to land by the end of the Summer 2025 (around August).
Google has not announced pricing for Pixel 10. For reference, in terms of pricing, the Pixel 9 series starts at $799 (base model).–GN
