We’re just a little over a month away from the much-awaited debut of the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Fold. Known for creating premium Android smartphones, Google’s upcoming Pixel launch holds great importance. As is customary, speculations and leaks are surfacing as the release date gets nearer.

Current speculations suggest that the Pixel 10 series won’t be a significant departure from the Pixel 9. It seems that some updates in specifications and adjustments in features are on the horizon. The series is anticipated to comprise a standard Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

Here’s what we have gathered (and hypothesized) about the Pixel 10 series up to this point.

**Pixel 10 Launch Date and Pricing**

Speculations indicate that the Pixel 10 unveiling will take place on Aug. 20, followed by a complete launch on Aug. 28. This is in line with the launch of last year’s Pixel 9 series. Although this year’s dates remain unconfirmed, it’s plausible that Google will introduce all its new devices at once. Additionally, a Pixel 10a is anticipated, but its launch could be pushed to 2026, given the recent release of the Pixel 9a.

There could be some alterations in pricing. Android Headlines mentioned a potential price hike for the Pixel 10 Pro XL, whereas the Pixel 10 Fold Pro may experience a reduction in cost. However, leaker Roland Quandt suggested that prices might increase across the entire lineup. Manufacturing locations in China, India, and Vietnam could also influence pricing due to tariffs.

**Pixel 10 Design Speculations**

Our initial glimpse of the Pixel 10 was through a significant leak, which showcased Google recording a commercial featuring the new device. The design of the Pixel 10 series seems akin to that of the Pixel 9, retaining Google’s iconic camera bump and sensor arrangements. Recent rumors support this notion.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold also appears to resemble last year’s variant; however, Android Headlines has pointed out slight changes in dimensions and leaked specifications that imply a larger display and battery. This may give Samsung an edge, as the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 is markedly thinner.

Regarding color options, rumors suggest the devices will be available in:

– **Pixel 10:** Obsidian (black), Indigo (purple), Lemongrass (yellow), and Frost (blue)
– **Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL:** Obsidian (black), Jade (green), Moonstone (gray), and Porcelain (white)
– **Pixel 10 Pro Fold:** Jade (green), Moonstone (gray)

While the colors remain consistent, some leaks vary in naming. Nonetheless, black, purple, yellow, blue, green, gray, and white are expected.

**Google Pixel 10 Specs**

Speculation regarding specifications has remained consistent. Google’s new Pixel phones are likely to be equipped with a TSMC-manufactured Tensor 5 chip, which is expected to power the entire Pixel 10 series. The Tensor 5 is anticipated to be Google’s most potent chip yet, promising considerable performance enhancements over the Tensor 4.

Additional rumors hint at modest increases in specifications, including a peak brightness enhancement to 3,000 nits and regular brightness to 2,000 nits. There are also talks of improved PWM for display dimming, which would benefit users who were sensitive to the dimming in earlier models.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is projected to feature a 5,015 mAh battery, surpassing the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s 4,650 mAh. Previous Pixel 9 consumers have reported battery life concerns, so it will be interesting to see if the new battery and Tensor 5 chip rectify these issues.

Importantly, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may be the first foldable device to achieve an IP68 waterproof rating, which is thrilling news for fans of foldables. Other specifications are expected to remain largely similar, with minor enhancements in battery size and charging speeds.

**Google Pixel 10 Camera Updates**

The camera system of the Pixel 10 will experience slight modifications compared to the Pixel 9. Leaks from Kamila Wojciechowska indicate new hardware, including a 50 MP Samsung GN8 wide-angle lens, a 13 MP Sony IMX712 ultrawide lens, and an 11 MP Samsung 3J1 telephoto lens, with the same lens used for selfies.

While the Pixel 10 introduces a telephoto lens, the remainder of the lineup is deemed a downgrade. Last year’s Pixel 9 lacked a telephoto lens but featured identical wide and ultrawide sensors to the Pixel 9 Pro XL. This year, the Pixel 10 incorporates a telephoto lens but with downgraded wide and ultrawide sensors.

The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL are rumored to possess a 50 MP Samsung GNV wide-angle lens alongside three 48MP Sony IMX858 lenses for telephoto, ultrawide, and selfies. The selfie camera is expected to have a slight upgrade; however, the system remains mostly unchanged.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is predicted to maintain a similar camera system to the previous year, featuring a 48 MP wide-angle lens and a 10.5 MP ultrawide lens,
