Google will unveil its Pixel 10 lineup at a Made by Google event in New York on August 20, alongside new Pixel watches, earbuds, and accessories. Official teasers reveal a familiar design with a new blue-gray finish, but leaks suggest more notable upgrades under the hood.
Triple-lens cameras for all
For the first time, the base Pixel 10 is expected to feature a triple rear camera system, including a telephoto lens. However, reports indicate smaller main and ultrawide sensors than last year’s Pixel 9, potentially reducing image quality. The 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are said to retain last year’s higher-end camera hardware, while the foldable 10 Pro Fold will match the base 10’s main and telephoto specs.
Fresh colors and design tweaks
Leaked renders point to bolder hues for the Pixel 10 — including “Indigo,” “Frost,” and “Limoncello” — while the Pro models will stick to muted tones like “Moonstone” and “Jade.” The 10 Pro Fold may skip black entirely, shipping only in “Moonstone” and “Jade.”
Qi2 charging and bigger batteries
The Pixel 10 series is expected to support the Qi2 magnetic wireless charging standard at 25W, a first for Google. The addition of magnets may explain slight weight and thickness increases across most models, which could also house larger batteries.
A new Tensor chip and AI focus
The new Tensor G5 processor, manufactured by TSMC on a 3nm process, promises faster performance and improved efficiency. AI features are also set to expand, with tools like “Speak-to-Tweak” voice photo editing, “Camera Coach” shooting tips, and the on-device “Pixel Sense” assistant that learns user preferences and integrates across Google services.
Pricing and release
US pricing is expected to remain similar to last year: Pixel 10 from $799, Pixel 10 Pro from $999, and Pixel 10 Pro XL from $1,199. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will start at $1,799, with a new 1TB option for $2,149. Most models could launch on August 28, while the Fold may be delayed until October 9.
