I love the Samsung Z Fold 7, but these Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold features can win me over
Unless there's an actually useful AI feature or significantly better battery life, I'll stick with my Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung turned around its foldable phone lineup at its Galaxy Unpacked event last month. After years of iterative upgrades, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is finally ready for prime time. Naturally, I expect other folding phones to follow suit, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. But it seems like Google's upcoming foldable has already loss some ground to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 due to an unexpected supply chain delay. According to a report from WinFuture, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold won't arrive in stores alongside the rest of Google's phone lineup this month. While the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL are rumored to go on sale starting August 28, supply chain woes point to users potentially having to wait until October to get their hands on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Also: Google just teased its new flagship phone early - here's what we've gathered WinFuture says the supply chain issues extend to the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a, with the trio not being available to purchase until October 9. If true, this could be a huge setback for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold because its rival retains most of (and is likely to build) its momentum this year. I've been using the Galaxy Z Fold 7 since its launch and am pleased with the experience. Clearly, I'm not alone. Samsung worked on (almost) every downside of the Fold 6 and delivered a close-to-perfect folding phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner, slimmer, and features a stronger hinge and the smallest crease on a foldable. Its cover screen is now more functional, and the full-screen experience has been more than enough to satisfy my power user needs. Samsung's Galaxy AI is also the most complete suite of AI features on a phone, and it is accompanied by One UI 8 customizations. It is so good that I don't want to put it down. However, the $2,000 is not without its flaws. There are two parameters for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to improve and outshine Samsung: battery life and telephoto camera. I use my phone more than the average user, so my Galaxy Z Fold 7 barely lasts me into the evening. While the 4,400mAh battery might be fine for users with under six hours of screen time, for someone like me who averages 8-9 hours, I need something bigger -- and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could deliver just that. Also: 24 hours later with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Why I'm leaving the S25 Ultra behind According to leaks, the upcoming Google foldable could get a 7% increase in its battery capacity to around 5,000mAh. That's 600mAh more than its South Korean rival. However, it will be powered by a Tensor chip, which isn't expected to be as efficient as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Sure, the Tensor G5 may be more powerful than ever, but I'm more curious about the efficiency gains. As for the optics, Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold is touted to feature an unchanged 12MP telephoto camera, which doesn't look promising when compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 7. I guess we'll have to wait for another update cycle for a foldable phone to be one of the best camera phones out there. I'm not writing off the Pixel 10 Pro Fold just yet, and am still looking forward to all the new AI features it'll likely bring. Tensor G5's upgraded TPU is said to allow for multiple new AI features in photo and video editing. But unless there's a unique AI feature that's actually useful in day-to-day use and a significant price difference, it is going to be hard for Google to stand out with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold -- especially if it won't be available for purchase close to two months after launch. That said, this is only a leak, and Google hasn't shared any availability details yet. We hope to learn more about the Pixel 10 lineup at the Made By Google event on August 20, and have reached out to the company for comment regarding the reported news.

Why I'm considering the Google Pixel 10 over the Pro models this year (and I'm not alone)
Google's non-Pro Pixel phone has always been the "safe pick." It's the model I recommend to most users, so long as they can live without the Pro features -- whether that's an extra telephoto camera, more RAM, or better hardware. Also: This rumored Pixel 10 feature puts Google above Samsung and OnePlus for me - here's why While there's little left to the imagination as far as what the upcoming Google Pixel 10 phones will look like, if the leaks and rumors are true, there will be a notable shift in dynamics this year. I'll say it now: The Pixel 10, not the Pixel 10 Pro, will be both the safe pick and the best pick in 2025. I'm not alone in that belief, and here's why. An early look at marketing renders suggests that the base-model Pixel 10 will finally get a dedicated telephoto lens, rounding out the traditional main and ultrawide sensors. Whether it's pulled from last year's Pixel 9 Pro Fold or another older model, having a greater optical zoom range will allow users to capture distant subjects with more clarity and detail. It's a big win, whether you frequently capture photos of your child or pet running around from afar, or want to preserve the liveliness of an artist from your nose-bleed seats. Also: Google will announce its next lineup of Pixels on August 20 - Here's what we know There is one notable trade-off with this design decision: Google is reportedly downgrading the main and ultrawide sensors of the Pixel 10 to match the Pixel 9a (which had an inferior camera system to last year's Pixel 9) in order to integrate the additional telephoto sensor. While I found the Pixel 9a's 48MP shooter capable enough for most environments, camera buffs may be more drawn to the Pixel 10 Pro for this reason. Google's in-house Tensor chipset doesn't necessarily have the best track record for performance, cellular connectivity, and efficiency, but things are looking up with the upcoming G5 model. If the rumored 3nm design and TSMC-based manufacturing (versus Samsung Foundry) are to be realized, we may finally be looking at a system processor that delivers snappy day-to-day performance while also reliably maintaining heat and power usage. Also: Google's latest chip is all about reducing one huge hidden cost in AI To be clear, I'm not expecting the Tensor G5 to set new benchmark high scores or compete closely with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra or OnePlus 13; that's never really been the draw of Google's in-house silicon. Instead, having the same processor as the Pro models should give the standard Pixel 10 access to all of Google's latest AI tools, many of which have landed well with consumers over the past year. Perhaps most importantly, Google will still have full rein over the Pixel line's software and security updates, allowing the devices to stay more feature-relevant than any other Android phone on the market. From the feature parity that includes magnet-based Qi2 wireless charging capabilities to a charming new Indigo blue color, it's likely that the Google Pixel 10 will be the model that appeals to most people. It certainly has for me, much like how the ultramarine iPhone 16 stuck out in the spread of subdued, monotone Pro model handsets last year. Also: The best Android phones to buy in 2025 Another hardware difference between the regular and Pro Pixel phones this year will be the textured sides, with the former being matte-treated and the latter having a glossy finish. From having tested various handsets with various industrial designs over the years, I've found that matte-treated side rails are the most effective. The finish resists retaining oil and fingerprint smudges, keeping the phone looking cleaner. Alas, the Pixel 10's lower price point, projected to still be $799 for the 128GB configuration, makes it a compelling upgrade for anyone coming from an older handset. We'll learn more about the new Pixel 10 phones during the Made by Google event on August 20, so stay tuned. ZDNET has reached out to Google for more details on the rumors and will report back with any new information.

5 reasons I'm buying the Google Pixel 10 instead of the Pro this year (and won't regret it)
It still won't be the best option for power users, especially if you want the most capable camera system from Google. Google's non-Pro Pixel phone has always been the "safe pick."

Google Pixel 10 launch: new phones, foldables and watches at the Made by Google event
Google remains as leak-prone as ever, so nearly all the new hardware the company is expected to announce has all ready been reported on in one form or another. With that in mind and after sifting through what has leaked, here's what Google will show off at the Pixel 10 launch even in New York City on August 20. Google's invitation for the event says that the company is sharing "the latest on our Pixel phones, watches, buds and more," which more or less confirms the company will introduce a slate of products that's similar to what it launched in 2024. That means a Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are absolutely on the menu. Google's tease of the Pixel 10 confirmed what leaked renders have already signaled: the company isn't abandoning the new design language the Pixel 9 established. The pill-shaped camera bump and flat front display will still be present on the Pixel 10, and the real changes will be in the details, like for example, how the flat sides of the Pixel 10 join with the phone's back. Those subtle changes will apparently also include the thickness of the Pixel 10s. While both the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro Fold will use the same sized OLED screens as their Pixel 9 counterparts, they'll be housed in thicker and heavier bodies, according to Android Headlines. Google's new Pixels are also supposed to come in new colors. The Pixel 10 will come in "Frost" (a royal blue), "Lemongrass" (a yellow), "Indigo" (a light purple) and "Obsidian" (a dark gray), while the Pixel 10 Pro / Pro XL will come in Obsidian, "Porcelain" (off-white), "Moonstone" (a bluish gray) and "Jade" (a light green). Less information is known about the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, though recent leaks suggest it'll come in Moonstone and Jade, as well. The most visible external change that'll be introduced on the Pixel 10 is the addition of a new telephoto camera. The new telephoto camera is a 11-megapixel 5x telephoto, Android Authority reports, similar to the one on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are expected to feature a 50-megapixel wide, 48-megapixel ultrawide, 48-megapixel telephoto and 48-megapixel selfie cameras. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold could feature a different lineup, with a similar main camera, but 12-megapixel ultrawide and telephoto cameras, and 11-megapixel selfie cameras. Inside the new phones, Google is laying the groundwork for future performance gains with a new Tensor G5 chip. It's likely be much more power-efficient thanks to the company switching to a 3nm design produced by TSMC. Reports suggest the chip might not be all that different in terms of raw power, but the Tensor G5 is likely designed to be extra capable when it comes to using local AI features. As far as timing goes, it's worth noting that the latest rumors indicate that the Pixel 10, 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL will be available about a week after the event, on August 28. But the Pixel 10 Pro Fold (as well as the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a aren't expected for more than a month after that. Those devices are rumored to be on sale as of October 9. While global tariff turmoil could justify a price increase, Google is reportedly keeping things consistent with the Pixel 10 family. They'll offer similar storage options, come in at the same prices and include the same freebies and incentives. The Pixel 10 will come with six months of Google AI Pro and Fitbit Premium, along with three months of YouTube Premium. Meanwhile the Pixel 10 Pro models will get a year of Google AI Pro, six months of Fitbit Premium and three months of YouTube Premium. The prices and storage options for the phones should breakout down as follows: The third time was the charm for the Pixel Watch 3, so the main task Google has with the Pixel Watch 4 is to not squander the solid base it already has. Leaks for the company's new smartwatches have been limited so far, but renders of the Pixel Watch 4 shared by 91mobiles do suggest Google has a few changes planned. Namely, much like the company's phones, the new Pixel Watch seems like it'll be a little bit thicker and come with smaller bezels. The Pixel Watch 4 should be available to purchase in the same 41mm and 45mm sizes as before, but in new colors -- including a Moonstone option to match the Pixel 10 -- and with a brighter display. The thicker frame will also help the smartwatch fit a larger battery and a new wireless charging system, according to Android Headlines. Rather than charge through a puck with pogo pins like the Pixel Watch 3, the Pixel Watch 4 will use a wireless charging stand that could fill it up even faster. Beyond that, Google has already indicated how Wear OS is evolving. The new Wear OS 6 update is debuting on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, and will presumably be available on the Pixel Watch 4 at launch. It includes built-in access to Gemini, among other tweaks. Given Google also manages the Fitbit Premium subscription, it wouldn't be all that surprising if the Pixel Watch 4 gets some exclusive fitness tracking features, too. Google launched the Pixel Buds Pro 2 last year, and it typically doesn't update its premium earbuds on a yearly cadence. So instead, Tom's Guide reports Google might pair the Pixel 10 with the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in a new color, and save its new hardware announcements for a sequel to the Pixel Buds A-series called the Pixel Buds 2a. Unlike the company's premium wireless earbuds, the A-series Pixel Buds have historically skimped on things like active noise cancellation to hit a lower price. There's little reporting on where Google will take the Pixel Buds 2a, but you can expect the new earbuds to come in some of the new colors being introduced on the Pixel 10. The Qi2 wireless charging standard is available for all phone makers to use, but it hasn't been widely adopted among Android phone makers. Qi2 uses magnets to offer improved charging speeds, just like Apple's MagSafe, and the Pixel 10 could mark Google's adoption of Qi2 through a new feature called "Pixelsnap." A report from Android Authority suggests the Pixel 10 will include the necessary magnets to make Qi2 happen, and will be introduced alongside a lineup of Pixelsnap accessories. New leaked images showing a Pixel 10 charging with a magnetic charging puck that looks a lot like Apple's MagSafe charger adds even more credence to the rumor. If you need even more convincing, the Wireless Power Consortium has announced that its faster Qi2 25W charging is coming to "major Android phones." It would make sense if Google's Pixel 10s were included considering runs Android itself. Gemini is Google's current favorite, and the company is pushing the AI assistant everywhere it makes sense. The last few Pixel Drops -- Google's regular Pixel-focused software updates -- have primarily included Gemini features. It would make sense for Google to include a few more software exclusives on the Pixel 10. Google is hosting the Pixel 10 launch event on August 20 at 1PM ET / 10AM ET. The company has invited press to attend in person, and you can read coverage of everything Google announces right here on Engadget. Update, August 6, 12:15PM ET: Added information about the timeline for when Google's new hardware is expected to arrive. Update, July 30, 2:30PM ET: Added information on pricing for the Pixel 10 lineup and new details on Qi2 support.

Google Pixel 10 arrives August 20 -- here's the 7 biggest rumored upgrades
We're just two weeks out from the next Made by Google event, where we're expecting to hear about all the newest Google devices -- including the Google Pixel 10. Judging from the rumors, this could be a very big year for Google's phones, with the entry-level model offering even more upgrades and improvements than ever before. In fact, from the sounds of things, the Pixel 10 may just be a Pixel 10 Pro in everything but name. After all, one of the most prominent rumors is that we'll finally see a telephoto lens on the cheapest model. But that's just one rumored upgrade out of many, and there are plenty more out there. Here are the 7 biggest upgrades rumored to be coming to Pixel 10. The entry level Pixel has always stuck with the dual-camera lens approach -- offering a main and ultrawide lens with no sign of a zoomable shooter. That could be about to change, with a lot of rumors leaning on the fact the Pixel 10 will get this formerly Pro-exclusive feature at long last. Leaks suggest that the new lens could come at the expense of other lenses. The ultrawide has apparently dropped from 48MP to 12MP, while the main lens gets a less significant drop from 50MP to 48MP. Presumably to help offset the cost of adding the 11MP telephoto lens, and its 5x optical zoom capabilities. Thankfully resolution isn't everything, especially with AI, so we shouldn't experience any major drops in image quality as a result. One of the things I've often complained about is the fact Android phone makers have been very slow to adopt Qi2 wireless charging. So fa,r only HMD has actually released a phone with the full magnetic charging system built into the phone -- with a couple of others offering stripped down versions. According to some rumors, Google may finally bring that feature to a mainstream flagship. Not only have leaked renders shown the Pixel 10 using a magnetic charger, without any kind of external case, the phones are supposedly heavier than their Pixel 9 counterparts. Leaks also suggest that this will be called "Pixelsnap," and that Google will be releasing a range of compatible accessories to go with it. There's no word on how fast the wireless charging will be, but if it is based on Qi2 then we should see a minimum of 15W speeds -- provided you use the right charger. This is one the longest standing Pixel 10 rumors we've heard, because it could mark a turning point for the Tensor chipset family. According to rumors this will be the first chip that didn't start life as one of Samsung's Exynos chips -- instead being designed from scratch by Google. Oh, and word is that the chip will be manufactured with TSMC's 3nm process, which is the same one used to make the likes of the Apple A18 Pro and the Snapdragon 8 Elite. A process that has proven to have a positive impact on performance power and energy usage. Starting from scratch means Google has more control over what the chips can do. Combined with the fact it also develops Android and the Pixel series, it could mean better optimization between all areas of the Pixel 10 -- potentially leading to better performance and lower power consumption in the process. If you've found Google's AI editing tools a little difficult to use in the past, then "Speak to Tweak" might be the thing you're looking for. Details about this feature aren't widely known, other than the fact it will be an AI editing tool. Judging from the name it's going to be a system that lets you tell your phone what edits you want to make -- rather than interacting with the screen. If that works as well as other AI features, and is able to understand what you need, then this could make the process of editing an absolute breeze. Battery life on Pixels has come a long way over the last couple of years, and here's hoping that the same is true for the Pixel 10. Thankfully, rumors are claiming that we'll see a bigger battery on the phone, which is definitely a good start towards boosting that battery life even further. Rumor has it that the phone will come with a 4,970 mAh battery. Not only is that larger than you'd find in phones like the Galaxy S25 (4,000 mAh), it's also a healthy boost from the 4,700 mAh battery we saw in the Pixel 9. While there's no telling how much better the battery life will be just yet, it bodes well for a feature that Google has long struggled to get right. Nobody likes a shaky video, no matter how many Hollywood movies seem to believe otherwise. If you're an avid videographer then you'll be happy to hear that the Pixel 10 could come with significant improvements to its video stabilization system. In fact, the initial rumor compared the new system to a DJI Osmo Mobile 6 -- which is easily one of the best smartphone gimbals we've used this year. Details aren't clear, so we don't know if this will be a physical revamp of the hardware or some kind of software improvement. It could even be both, and I can't imagine AI won't play a role in smoothing out the footage if that's the case. While not necessarily a hardware upgrade, we have heard some Pixel 10 price leaks in the run up to launch -- and it's good news. According to the leak the Pixel 10 is going to start at $799 for a model with 128GB of storage. That's the same as the Pixel 9, and will reportedly come with 6 months of Google's AI Pro plan. The Pixel 10 Pro will reportedly start at the same $999 price tag as last year, with 128GB of storage. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will also apparently stick to $1,799 for a 256GB storage variant. Sadly the Pixel 10 Pro XL will cost an extra $100 ($1,199) due to the fact Google has dropped the 128GB model in favor of starting at 256GB. These 3 phones are expected to come with a year of Google AI Pro

Google Pixel 10 pricing just leaked -- and one model's getting more expensive
Google's Made by Google event is on the horizon, and a recent leak by Android Headlines has revealed the possible prices for the Google Pixel 10, Google Pixel 10 Pro, Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. For the most part, it appears that Google won't be increasing the price for its new phones. The Google Pixel 10 is listed to cost the same as the Pixel 9, with the basic 128GB model costing $799 in the US and $1,099 in Canada. There's no change for the 256GB option either. Android Headlines also states that the Pixel 10 will come with six months of Google's AI Pro plan, six months of Fitbit Premium and 3 months of YouTube Premium. The three Pixel 10 Pro models, meanwhile, are reportedly going to offer a year of Google AI Pro, meaning access to Gemini Advanced and 1TB of storage courtesy of Google One. On top of that, buyers of a Pro model could also get three months of YouTube Premium and six months of Fitbit Premium. It isn't just the base Google Pixel 10 that's staying the same, as the Google Pixel 10 Pro is reportedly going to offer the same prices as the Pixel 9 Pro. That means that the lowest model is going to cost you $999 in the US and $1,349 in Canada. The Pixel 10 Pro also reportedly offers more storage options, all of which appear to have the same price as the current Pixel 9 Pro. As mentioned earlier, the majority of the Pixel 10 series are listed to cost the same as their predecessors, but there are some reported differences. Firstly, the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL could have a higher cost of entry than the Pixel 9 Pro XL due to Google reportedly dropping the 128GB option. This means the base model is the more expensive 256GB version, which costs $1,199 in the US and $1,629 in Canada. Arguably, the biggest shock in the report has to do with the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which could be the most expensive Pixel phone we've ever seen. The reason for this is that Google is reportedly planning to release its next generation of foldable phones with a 1TB option, which could cost $2,149 in the US and $2,869 in Canada. If accurate, then it would mean that, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold wouldn't be as pricey as the 1TB Galaxy Z Fold 7 -- which costs $2,419 -- it would still be a pretty major increase for the company. Thankfully, it appears that the 256GB and 512GB options will remain the same as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It is worth noting that Android Headline does not specify its source for this information, so it is possible that these prices will not match the final product. We'll have to wait until the Made by Google event on August 20 to see what the final prices for these devices will be.

Google Pixel 10 Series Design Leaks; Might Arrive With AI Camera Features
The upcoming Google Pixel 10 series is expected to ship with Android 16 Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro XL have been spotted in leaked renders that give us an idea of what to expect from the company's smartphones. The next generation Pixel 10 series is set to break cover at the firm's upcoming Made By Google event on August 20. Like the current Pixel 9 series, the upcoming lineup is expected to include four models -- the Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Some of these handsets appear to bear a similar design to their predecessors. Meanwhile, Google will reportedly introduce new Gemini-powered features with the Pixel 10 series. WinFuture has leaked renders of the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro XL that showcase the designs of both handsets. The renders show the Pixel Pro XL in black and grey colour options with rounded corners and a pill-shaped rear camera module. Google is expected to introduce the handsets in Moonstone and Obsidian colourways that refer to these models. An infrared temperature sensor seems to be integrated into the camera module of the Pixel 10 Pro XL alongside the main, wide-angle, and periscope sensors. The handset appears to have a hole punch cutout on the display that houses the selfie shooter. The official-looking renders show blue, black and yellow-green colour options for the Pixel 10. They are expected to be marketed as Indigo, Limoncello, and Obsidian. The handset is much more similar to the Pixel 9 with design elements including a hole-punch display design and a pill-shaped camera module. It appears to have a triple rear camera setup at the rear. Meanwhile, Android Headlines reports that the Pixel 10 series will debut with a Gemini-powered Camera Coach camera tool. This feature is said to assist users in capturing better pictures in real time by adjusting the frame and lighting. Camera Coach can analyse the scene and provide real-time suggestions to improve shots, according to the report. Google has scheduled its next Made by Google launch event for August 20. The Pixel 10 lineup will be the highlight of the event. The company is expected to unveil new Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a alongside the Pixel 10 family. The Pixel 10 series is expected to ship with Android 16. They could run on the Tensor G5 chipset and include several AI features, including a conversational photo editing tool that relies on commands provided to Gemini.

Google Pixel 10 Series Price, Offers Leaked Ahead of August 20 Launch
In the US, the Pixel 10 may start at $799 (roughly Rs. 70,000) The Pixel 10 Pro can begin at at $999 (roughly Rs. 87,500) The Google Pixel Pro Fold could start at $1,799 (roughly Rs. 1,57,600) Google Pixel 10 series is set to be unveiled at a Made by Google event on August 20. Ahead of the launch, the US and Canadian prices of the handsets have been leaked, along with details of launch offers. An earlier leak also revealed the expected European pricing for the upcoming series. The lineup is likely to include a base Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and a 10 Pro Fold . The phones are expected to be powered by Tensor G5 chipsets and ship with Android 16. According to an Android Headlines report, the launch price of the Google Pixel 10 series will remain the same as the price of the Pixel 9 lineup. The only difference from the preceding lineup is that the Pixel 10 Pro XL handset is expected to drop the 128GB option and will offer 256GB storage in the base variant. In the US, the price of the base Google Pixel 10 is expected to start at $799 (roughly Rs. 70,000) for the 128GB option, and the 256GB variant will likely cost $899 (roughly Rs. 78,800).

One of the most notable rumored changes is the addition of a telephoto lens to the base Pixel 10 model. This 11-megapixel 5x telephoto camera, similar to the one on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, would round out the traditional main and ultrawide sensors 23. However, this upgrade may come at the cost of downgrading the main and ultrawide sensors to match those of the Pixel 9a 2.
The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL are expected to feature a more robust camera system, including a 50-megapixel wide, 48-megapixel ultrawide, 48-megapixel telephoto, and 48-megapixel selfie cameras 4.
Google's new Tensor G5 chip is rumored to be at the heart of the Pixel 10 series. Unlike previous iterations, this chip may be designed from scratch by Google and manufactured using TSMC's 3nm process, potentially improving performance and energy efficiency 45. The new chip is expected to enhance AI capabilities, including a rumored "Speak to Tweak" feature for voice-controlled photo editing 5.

While maintaining the design language established by the Pixel 9, the new series is rumored to feature subtle changes. These include slightly thicker and heavier bodies, new color options, and potentially smaller bezels 14. The Pixel 10 may also introduce Qi2 wireless charging, dubbed "Pixelsnap," with magnetic attachment capabilities 5.
Battery life, a historical pain point for Pixel devices, may see improvement with the Pixel 10 rumored to house a larger 4,970 mAh battery 5. Combined with the potentially more efficient Tensor G5 chip, this could lead to significant gains in battery life.

The Pixel 10 series is expected to include the standard Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Pricing is rumored to remain largely consistent with previous generations, with the base Pixel 10 starting at $799 for 128GB storage 5.
Other rumored upgrades include improved video stabilization, compared by some sources to the quality of a DJI Osmo Mobile 6 gimbal 5. The phones are also expected to come bundled with Google AI Pro subscriptions, further emphasizing the company's focus on AI capabilities 5.
While the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL are expected to be available for purchase around August 28, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may face a delayed release until October 9 due to supply chain issues 14.
