Everything to know about the Google Pixel 10 series ahead of its August 2025 launch
Improved cameras with software-driven enhancements While a large chunk of the Google Pixel 10's shooting capabilities reside in the phone's software, there will be a few changes to camera hardware. The Pixel 10 will have an 11MP zoom lens which is a first for the standard model. The main shooter will have a 50MP Samsung GN8 sensor and the ultra-wide camera will use a 13MP Sony IMX712 sensor. By combining the images from ultra-wide and telephoto lenses, the Pixel 10 will have improved macro photography shooting capability. Beyond hardware improvements, the Google Pixel 10 will offer advanced computational photography with enhanced low-light performance, macro and zoom capabilities. AI-powered image processing will utilise more sophisticated image processing algorithms for automatic photo enhancement with the correct levels of exposure, colors and contrast. The Pixel 10 will also take advantage of post-processing features such as Autoframe, Zoom Enhance, Reimagine and Add Me. The Google Pixel 10 series phones will mostly retain the screen sizes of the standard and larger-sized Pixel phones of the previous generation. For the standard model, the new Pixel phone will have a 6.3-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Google is introducing a higher full-screen peak brightness for the new phones. The Pixel 10 phones will have an HDR brightness of 2000 and 2250 nits for the standard and Pro/XL models. The screens of the new phones will also be designed to reduce eyestrain for more sensitive users. Next-gen processing power with Tensor G5 Above Google Pixel phones are set to reimagine Android with Gemini AI (Photo: Google) Under the hood, the Google Pixel 10 series will debut the all-new Tensor G5 chip, built on a 3-nanometre process by TSMC, the same chipmaker behind Apple and MediaTek's latest processors. This marks a shift away from Samsung, which previously manufactured Google's Tensor chips. The G5 is expected to deliver faster performance, better thermal efficiency and significantly improved AI processing. This opens the door for more advanced applications in gaming, video editing and generative AI features such as voice-enabled photo editing and AI-assisted video creation. AI integration and new Android 16 design Above Introducing: Material 3 Expressive All Google Pixel 10 models will come equipped with 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. Battery life sees a boost too, with a 5,000mAh capacity, 29W wired fast charging, and Qi2-compatible 15W wireless charging. Google is also integrating Gemini Nano, its on-device AI model, to handle contextual tasks such as real-time suggestions, smart replies and in-app assistance. These will run seamlessly with the upcoming Android 16, which debuts a new visual update called Material 3 Expressive—a more fluid and dynamic design language featuring personalised themes and animations. Despite only subtle design changes, the Pixel 10 series reaffirms Google's strength: the deep integration of software and hardware. With advanced AI capabilities, a next-gen processor and smarter imaging, the Pixel 10 is set to push the Android experience forward—again.

Google Pixel 10 full specs leaked, launch pegged for August 20: Everything you need to know
Here we go again. Much in the same way it has been with almost every Pixel phone to date, Google can't – once again – catch a break and stop leaks taking the better of it. The Pixel 10, which is Google's next, and might we add, hotly anticipated Pixel phone, has leaked in full glory leaving little to the imagination ahead of imminent launch, the final date of which is out now per rumour mills. Right out of the gate, speculation is rife that Google will launch the Pixel 10 series on August 20 with sales beginning from August 28. Given Google's big push over the last year or so, we can expect the phones to launch and go on sale in India at around the same the most sought-after upgrade planned for the upcoming Pixel 10 line-up is Google's Tensor G5 chip. As to why it's such a big deal, the reason is simple: Google is expected to swap partners and so, the Tensor G5 is widely expected to be made by TSMC (on its advanced 3-nanometre node) and not Samsung. The change is likely to make the upcoming Pixel 10 series phones more efficient with real-world benefits extending to their overall performance and battery life. But this is old news really. We've known about this development for months if not over at Android Headlines have managed to grab hold of almost every other spec you might be interested in, whether as a reader or a potential buyer. The publication's exclusive report takes the lid off some super-fine updates allegedly in the pipeline while also highlighting some that might disappoint some people. We'll touch upon them one by The Pixel 10 reportedly has a 6.3-inch 1080p AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, same as the soon-outgoing Pixel 9. The difference is that the Pixel 10's screen can apparently get brighter. According to the report, Google might be looking to bump up the output from 1,800nits to 2,000nits in high brightness mode while peak brightness is said to go up from 2,700nits to 3,000nits. The Pixel 10 Pro models have separately been leaked and said to offer more eye-friendly screens with better PWM photography, the Pixel 10 is said to come with a trio of shooters on the back, a combination of 48-megapixel wide (same as the Pixel 9a apparently), a 12-megapixel ultrawide, and another 10.8-megapixel 5x telephoto (same as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold).Under the hood, the Pixel 10 is reported to come with a 4,970mAh battery with 29W wired and 15W wireless charging over the new Qi2 standard. RAM is expected to be 12GB by default while storage can be either 128GB or 256GB. Like the Pixel 9 series, the Pixel 10 will be expected to get seven years of software support from Google.- Ends

Pixel 10 may get a battery upgrade, but the camera could divide users, report hints
The Google Pixel 10 series is reportedly just over a month away, expected to launch in August 2025. Over the course of the last few months, we have had a slew of leaks come out, including details about its processor, the design, and more. Now, another leak has emerged, detailing a major addition that Google could bring to the vanilla Pixel 10 model and one confusing change (depending on how you look at it) that the phone could get. Here are the details. Know what Google is expected to bring with the new Pixel 10 series.(Google) According to Android Headlines, Google could upgrade the vanilla Pixel 10 model. For context, the vanilla Pixel 9 model currently comes with a 4,700 mAh battery. Google could also improve the charging speed of the Pixel 10 and boost it to around 29 watts, with a wireless speed of around 15 watts using Qi2 wireless capability. So, all in all, this could make for a decent upgrade when it comes to the battery capability of the Pixel 10, especially considering it is also expected to get TSMC's 3nm process chipset, which is going to be the Tensor G5. Therefore, there could be some efficiency upgrades here as well, contributing to a good overall battery life. Android Headlines also reports that the Google Pixel 10 is expected to get the same 48-megapixel sensor as the Pixel 9a, happening to be a 1/2-inch sensor. This would make it much smaller than the sensor you have on the Pixel 9. Alongside this, reports add that the ultrawide sensor could also be downgraded from 48 megapixels to 12 megapixels to make way for the 5x, 10.8-megapixel telephoto camera. So, it depends on how you look at it. In a way, you might get a third lens, which could make for much more versatility and allow for more possibilities when clicking pictures and taking videos, but at the same time, the sensor quality could be nerfed. Our Take One aspect that is worth looking at is the fact that Google has always relied on its computational photography. In fact, if you think about it, it used the same sensor all the way from the Pixel 3 to the Pixel 5, and that being the Sony IMX 363, with minor software tweaks, and people never complained about the photo quality. Considering we have seen how Google's A-series models perform in blind camera tests, especially MKBHD's, the A-models have always garnered great results. So, the Pixel 10 getting a third camera and having to compromise on other sensors may not be a bad thing if Google can properly optimise things for users.

Did this Google Pixel 11 leak just kill the Pixel 10?
Ryan Haines / Android Authority If the rumors are true, the Google Pixel 10 is just a few short months away. And between new camera features, a 3nm Tensor G5 chipset, and a host of new AI capabilities, there's a lot to look forward to. But does any of that matter anymore? Yesterday, a new report shed light on fresh details for 2026's Pixel 11 series — specifically that Google's Pixel 11 handsets will feature a TSMC-made Tensor G6 chip with a 2nm fabrication design. Not only would that be a jump from the 3nm Tensor G5 we expect in the Pixel 10 lineup, but with competing chips rumored to stick with 3nm designs in 2026, Google could be one of the first companies to market with 2nm silicon. Assuming this report is correct, that would make the Pixel 11 one of next year's most impressive Android phones on the market, and by comparison, it can make what we've heard about the Pixel 10 feel a lot less exciting. If the Pixel 11 might have a bleeding-edge 2nm chip, should we even still bother with the Pixel 10? Yes, yes, we should. Does a 2nm Tensor chip for the Pixel 11 make you any less interested in the Pixel 10? 0 votes Yes NaN % No NaN % There's more to a phone than nanometers Robert Triggs / Android Authority On the one hand, I understand why this report is so tantalizing. Ever since Google started its Tensor experiment with the Tensor G1 in the Pixel 6, Google has been playing catch-up to Qualcomm and MediaTek. Each new Tensor chip is better than the one that came before it, but Google has never managed to outperform chips from its competitors. As such, the idea that this could finally change with the Pixel 11 next year is a big deal. If Qualcomm's 2026 Snapdragon chip uses a 3nm design (as it's been rumored) while the Tensor G6 has a 2nm design, that'll be a critical moment for Google. It'll mark the first time a Google Tensor chip pulls ahead of the competition rather than trailing behind. If you're a Pixel fan and have been one for a while, this is a moment you've likely been waiting for. Given that context, it's easy to see how someone may look at this news and decide to write off the Pixel 10. However, there are a few issues with that line of thinking. Joe Maring / Android Authority Let's assume that this report is accurate and that the Pixel 11 will feature a 2nm Tensor chip, beating Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips to the 2nm race. Great. However, first doesn't always mean best. A 2nm chipset is bound to be more performant and efficient than a 3nm chip, but first-generation tech — especially in Pixel phones — isn't a good combination. Google could beat Qualcomm to market with a 2nm smartphone chipset, but if it's riddled with bugs and performance quirks that need to be ironed out, how much will that matter? Further, fabrication size isn't the only factor at play. The design and makeup of the chip itself are equally important, and for years, Qualcomm has consistently proven to have far superior chip designs compared to Google. First doesn't always mean best. To Google's defense, the Tensor G6 will be manufactured by TSMC rather than Samsung, which should significantly improve battery life and thermal throttling — two issues that have plagued Tensor chips to date. With that line of thinking, a 2nm chip produced by a much more reliable chipset foundry means there's a lot of potential for the Tensor G6. But that leads me to my next point. That TSMC switch isn't happening in 2026; it's all but confirmed to happen this year with the Tensor G5. We're expecting a less impressive 3nm design for the G5, but going from a Samsung-made 4nm Tensor G4 to a TSMC-made 3nm Tensor G5 should be a much more significant leap forward compared to the 3nm Tensor G5 -> 2nm Tensor G6 upgrade. You can always wait for the newer generation Robert Triggs / Android Authority On a more general note, reports like this are always a good reminder of age-old advice for mobile tech: You can always wait for the next new thing. While scrolling through a Reddit thread discussing the Pixel 11 report, I found a few comments highlighting that point, just a bit more humorously. 'Not worth it, waiting for Pixel 16s 0.3nm processor personally, that's the one that will make Tensors flagships,' says u/SASMareSRB. And as u/No-Concern1915 rightfully points out, 'At that point you might as well wait for the Pixel 17, since it will be further refinement of what made the 16 great.' As sarcastic as the comments are, they're not wrong. Whether it's the Pixel or another phone, you can always guarantee that a new version will be released a year after the current one — and that new one will be better. Paul Jones / Android Authority Sometimes, it makes sense to wait for the new thing. With the Galaxy Z Fold 7 launching in early July, I probably wouldn't recommend you buy a Galaxy Z Fold 6 right now. Similarly, if you're considering getting a new Pixel phone but don't need one immediately, waiting a couple of months for the Pixel 10 series may be worth it. But should you take things a step further and wait until 2026 because the Pixel 11 may have a 2nm chip? What about waiting for the chance of a 1nm chip in the Pixel 12 or Pixel 13? You see how quickly that can spiral. Do I think the prospect of a 2nm chip in the Pixel 11 is exciting? Absolutely. But I don't think it needs to (or should) overshadow the Pixel 10. I'm sure next year's Pixel phone will be a fun one, but this year's release is shaping up to be worthwhile, too. And until the Pixel 10 is released and out in the wild, it's the Pixel we should probably keep our attention on.
