Google Pixel 10 Series Debuts with Tensor G5, Upgraded Cameras, and Advanced AI Features

Google officially launched the Pixel 10 series today at its Made by Google event in New York City. The lineup consists of four devices the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold bringing notable upgrades across design, performance, and AI features. After months of leaks and speculation, we finally have confirmed details on the specs, pricing, and availability of the Pixel 10 series. Let’s dive into what Google has brought to the table this year.

Google Pixel 10 Features and Specifications

Starting with the Pixel 10, this model appears to have received the most significant upgrades in the lineup. The Pixel 10 comes with a 6.3-inch Full HD+ OLED display, offering a silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate and protection from Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. One of the biggest improvements is its peak brightness, now reaching 3,000 nits, which makes the Pixel 10 far easier to read under direct sunlight compared to last year’s Pixel 9.

In terms of design, the Pixel 10 keeps a familiar look with rounded edges, a recycled spacecraft-grade aluminum frame, and IP68 dust and water resistance. The big addition this year is Pixelsnap, Google’s new magnetic system based on the Qi-2 standard, allowing the phone to snap onto wireless chargers and accessories much like Apple’s MagSafe.

When it comes to cameras, Google has finally upgraded the base model in a meaningful way. The Pixel 10 now includes a 10.8MP 5x telephoto lens, alongside a 48MP main sensor and a 13MP ultrawide shooter. This marks the first time in Pixel history that the standard model matches the Pro lineup in camera count. On the front, it retains the familiar 10.5MP selfie camera from last year.

Powering the Pixel 10 is Google’s latest Tensor G5 chipset, delivering a 25% boost in CPU performance over the previous G4. The device is paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, ensuring faster speeds and smoother multitasking. Battery life also gets an upgrade, with a 4,970mAh cell promising all-day usage. The Pixel 10 supports 30W wired USB-C charging and 15W wireless charging, delivering both fast and convenient power options.

Google Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL Features and Specifications

The Pixel 10 Pro comes with a 6.3-inch display, while the larger Pixel 10 Pro XL offers an expansive 6.8-inch screen. Both models boast QHD+ LTPO OLED panels with a fluid 120Hz refresh rate, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for added durability. Google has also increased brightness on the Pro models, with peak levels now hitting 3,300 nits, making them even more visible under direct sunlight.

Both the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL include Google’s new Pixelsnap technology, which integrates Qi-2 magnetic rings on the back for seamless wireless charging and accessory support. The overall design remains unchanged from last year, with a premium aluminum frame and IP68 water and dust resistance.

On the camera front, the Pro models retain a triple-lens setup: a 50MP primary sensor, a 48MP ultrawide lens, and a 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom. However, Google has introduced a new feature this year—100x Pro Res Zoom, a cheeky play on Apple’s ProRes branding. Up front, the selfie camera remains at 42MP on both Pro models.

Under the hood, both the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL run on Google’s latest Tensor G5 processor, paired with 16GB of RAM and storage options that go up to 1TB. When it comes to batteries, the Pixel 10 Pro packs a 4,870mAh cell, while the larger Pro XL gets an upgraded 5,200mAh unit. Charging speeds also differ between the two—the Pro XL supports 45W wired and 25W wireless charging, whereas the standard Pro remains limited to 30W wired and 15W wireless.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold Features and Specifications

Google’s premium foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, comes with a 6.4-inch Actua OLED cover display and a large 8-inch Super Actua Flex LTPO OLED inner screen. Both panels support a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and reach up to 3,000 nits of brightness, ensuring excellent visibility indoors and outdoors.

Beyond the display, the design remains largely unchanged from last year’s foldable. However, Google has made a big leap in durability—the Pixel 10 Pro Fold now comes with an IP68 rating, making it both dust- and water-resistant while maintaining its premium build.

This makes the Pixel 10 Pro Fold the first foldable smartphone to achieve an IP68 rating, surpassing even Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z Fold 7. On the camera side, Google has kept the same setup as the previous Pro Fold, featuring a 48MP primary sensor, a 10.5MP ultrawide lens, and a 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom. For selfies, it includes both a 10MP front camera and an inner 10MP sensor.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold also sees an upgrade in battery capacity, jumping from 4,650mAh to 5,015mAh. It supports 30W wired charging and 15W wireless charging, and just like the rest of the lineup, it comes with Pixelsnap magnets on the back for wireless accessories. Under the hood, it runs on the Tensor G5 chip paired with 16GB of RAM, with storage options scaling up to 1TB.

Across the lineup, all four Pixel 10 devices ship with Android 16 out of the box, loaded with Gemini-powered AI features and exclusive Pixel enhancements. Google is also committing to 7 years of major Android updates, ensuring long-term software support.
