Google’s upcoming Pixel series has been heavily leaked ahead of launch. Google’s major hardware showcase has shifted to August since last year and it seems to be working well. By moving ahead of Apple’s September event, Google gets a chance to attract potential switchers. With just days left until the official unveiling, last-minute leaks are piling up, here’s a full rundown of what to expect.
Pixel 10 Lineup
The Pixel 10 family for 2025 includes four smartphones, the base Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Joining them are the Pixel Watch 4 in 41mm and 45mm sizes and a new budget-friendly pair of earbuds, the Pixel Buds 2a.
Overall, the lineup feels fairly standard, building on the Pixel 9 series without major surprises.
Pixel 10 Series – Launch, Release Date and Availability
The Made by Google 2025 event is set for August 20. Pre-orders should go live immediately, with shipping for the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL expected by August 28.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold might launch later on October 9, following a staggered release pattern similar to last year. Buyers may need to wait longer for delivery if they pre-order the foldable model.

Pixel 10 Series – Design

Google is sticking with the Pixel 9’s design for a second year. The Pixel 10 looks almost identical, though minor adjustments have been made. The chassis dimensions are slightly different, which means Pixel 9 accessories won’t fit.
There’s also a new extra camera lens on the Pixel 10 and repositioned 5G antennae that could improve connectivity. In general, the design is unchanged but marginally thicker in most models.
Pixel 10 Series – Colour Options
The Pixel 10 will be available in vibrant shades – “Obsidian” (black), “Indigo” (blue), “Frost” (muted), and “Limoncello” (green).
The Pixel 10 Pro models come in “Obsidian”, “Porcelain” (white), “Jade” (soft green), and “Moonstone” (grey-blue) with glossy rails, while the base Pixel 10 sticks to matte edges.
For the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google is reportedly offering just two finishes this year: “Moonstone” and “Jade,” marking the first time the Fold skips black or white options.
Pixel 10 Series – Specifications
A leaked pre-release Pixel 10 Pro confirms a key update is UFS 4.0 storage. This means faster app launches, quicker file transfers, and improved on-device performance.
RAM and storage follow familiar lines, which is a 12GB RAM for the Pixel 10 and 16GB RAM for all Pro models. Storage starts at 128GB for the Pixel 10 and 256GB for the Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold.
Screen sizes remain the same as last year –
- Pixel 10 – 6.3-inch FHD+

- Pixel 10 Pro XL – 6.8-inch
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold – 6.4-inch outer + 8-inch inner (with slimmer bezels)
Other refinements include faster PWM support, higher brightness (around 200 nits more), and slight battery upgrades. These will be –
- Pixel 10 – 4,970mAh
- Pixel 10 Pro – 4,870mAh
- Pixel 10 Pro XL – 5,200mAh (largest yet for a Pixel)
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold – 5,015mAh
Charging speeds remain unchanged.
Pixel 10 Series – Cameras
This year, Google is creating more separation between the base Pixel 10 and Pro models.
Pixel 10 is reportedly moving away from the 50MP primary sensor, instead using the Pixel 9a’s setup (48MP main, 12MP ultrawide) but adding a 10.8MP 5x telephoto.
Pixel 10 Pro / Pro XL will same as Pixel 9 Pro, which was a 50MP main, 48MP ultrawide, 48MP 5x telephoto, and a 42MP selfie shooter, with new features like 100x zoom and telephoto macro.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold will offer a 48MP main, 10.5MP ultrawide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, plus dual 10MP selfie cameras inside and out.
A new “Camera Coach” feature is also tipped, offering in-app guidance on framing, lighting, and other adjustments, powered by AI.
Pixel 10 Series – Features
Google is finally adding magnetic charging support dubbed “Pixelsnap” to make the Pixel 10 the first flagship Android series with built-in magnets for Qi2 accessories like power banks and mounts.
In the US, the Pixel 10 lineup may drop physical SIM card slots entirely, requiring eSIMs. International models are still expected to support one physical SIM plus eSIM.
As for software, the Pixel 10 should ship with Android 16 pre-installed, unlike last year’s Pixel 9 launch that started with Android 14. On-device AI features (once rumoured as “Pixie” or “Pixel Sense”) haven’t leaked much recently, but multimodal AI support could debut with Android 16’s Material You Expressive updates.
Pixel 10 Series – Pricing
The base Pixel 10 is expected to keep the same price as last year. However, the Pro lineup could see a $100 increase, starting at $1,099, thanks to the upgraded 256GB base storage.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is likely to start at $1,799, going up to over $2,000 for the 1TB variant.
Google may also bundle perks like free Gemini Pro subscriptions during pre-orders, similar to last year.
