Google is set to officially unveil the Pixel 10 on August 20, with the phone expected to hit the market on August 28. As the announcement date approaches, more details are emerging. The latest report from AndroidHeadlines gives us a closer look at what to expect from the upcoming model. Here are the key highlights!
What to Expect from the Google Pixel 10
The Google Pixel 10 will feature a 6.3-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. Display brightness is getting a notable boost: high brightness mode is increasing from 1800 nits to 2000 nits, while peak brightness is going up from 2700 nits to 3000 nits.
The device will be powered by the new Tensor G5 chip, built using TSMC’s 3nm process. It will come with 12GB of RAM and storage options of 128GB or 256GB. Battery capacity is slightly improved at 4970mAh. Wired charging will now support up to 29W, and wireless charging will reach up to 15W with Qi2. For older Qi chargers, the speed will be limited to 7.5W.
The camera system is getting a revamp. The main sensor will be 48MP, likely the same 1/2.0-inch sensor used in the Pixel 9a. The ultra-wide camera is being downgraded from 48MP to 12MP. A new 10.8MP 5x telephoto lens, previously seen in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, will also be included.
While there may be some compromises in hardware, Google’s software optimization is expected to help maintain strong image quality. However, features like Ultra Res Zoom and ultra-stable video recording will remain exclusive to the Pro models.
The Pixel 10 series offers improved brightness compared to the Pixel 9 lineup. However, the base model still lacks adaptive refresh rate support. High-frequency PWM dimming for reduced eye strain will also be limited to the Pro and Pro XL variants.
