Google Pixel 10 Leak Reveals Design and AI Features in Unexpected Commercial Shoot

The Google Pixel 10 makes its first appearance in the wild during an ad shoot

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE is coming sooner than expected, but prepare to see double Summary A Google Pixel 10 ad shoot in Vancouver has just come to the surface courtesy of a photographer. Images published by the photographer show the Pixel 10 Pro, sporting a largely unchanged design from the Pixel 9 series. Furthermore, a storyboard provides some hints about the direction this commercial will take, potentially focusing on AI and camera features like Add Me. We know that the Google Pixel 10 will launch sometime in the second half of the year, much like the Pixel 9 series. Leaks have revealed a couple of possible changes (and non-changes) in the camera department for the upcoming flagship, while unofficial renders some months ago suggested no major design changes. We're now being treated to our first real-world look at the Pixel 10, courtesy of a photographer on a walk.

Posts 1 According to Mark Teasdale, a crew of over 20 people was present at a beach in Vancouver, Canada, shooting a commercial for the Pixel 10 series (via 9to5Google). Based on the close-up images Teasdale captured, this is most likely the Pixel 10 Pro or the Pro XL in Obsidian, which doesn't look too different from the Pixel 9 Pro. Close Source: Mark Teasdale Additionally, Teasdale also caught glimpses of a storyboard that details how the ad would go to some extent. The camera will be a big focus of this particular commercial, potentially sprinkled in with some AI magic. The mention of "Ask more of your phone" in one of these storyboard images suggests Google will lean heavily into Gemini Live and other AI elements that will be baked into the upcoming Pixel series. Zooming into one of the storyboards, we learn that at least a portion of the commercial will discuss the Add Me feature, which is currently exclusive to the Pixel 9 series. It uses Google's AI smarts to stitch together a couple of photos to ensure everybody is included in the group photo, including the photographer. We already have a sense of what the commercial will look like Another angle of the storyboard offers a look at the Pixel 10 Pro's rear panel, including the camera bar, as well as a brief glimpse of the smartphone's power button and volume rocker. There's not much more we can tell from these images shared by Teasdale, though this is perhaps the most elaborate Pixel 10 leak we've seen yet. What we see here also aligns with the Pixel 10 renders that surfaced in March. All indications point to the Pixel 10 launching in August with Android 16 onboard and the brand-new Tensor G5 chipset. The latter marks a big milestone for Google as it is joining forces with TSMC for the first time. Older Tensor chipsets, including the Pixel 9's Tensor G4, were produced by Samsung.

The Google Pixel 10 just showed up in one of the strangest phone leaks we've seen yet

The Pixel 10 may have been spotted on the streets of CanadaIt looks to have a similar design to the Pixel 9Google is expected to launch these phones during August It's no real secret that the Google Pixel 10 is going to be unveiled around August time, and we just got a sneak preview of the upcoming flagship in one of the more unusual phone leaks we've come across recently. As spotted by @MarksGonePublic (via 9to5Google), the handset was out on the streets of Vancouver, Canada, during what seems to have been filming for a Pixel 10 advert. The real giveaway? The multiple mentions of the "Pixel 10" on the storyboards. Based on the flash and thermometer circles to the right of the cameras, this appears to be a Pixel 10 Pro or a Pixel 10 Pro XL, and it doesn't look like much is going to change design-wise from what we saw with the Google Pixel 9 series. There's also a glimpse of a tagline that tells us to "ask more of your phone". It seems that photography and AI will again be front and center when Google is promoting the Pixel 10 and all the features it comes with. So far, Pixel 10 rumors and leaks have been pretty thin on the ground - perhaps a sign that this isn't going to be a huge upgrade for the series, though we would expect the processor to get a speed bump, as is the norm for a new Pixel. There might even be downgrades in certain areas: the standard Google Pixel 10 has been rumored to be getting a third camera around the back, but the other two sensors will be reduced in their capabilities, perhaps to keep costs down. Speaking of costs, a separate leak points to similar pricing for the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro as we saw last year with the Pixel 9 equivalents, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL could cost more and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold might even be reduced in price. As our Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold review will tell you, that foldable started at $1,799 / £1,799 / AU $2,699, so a price reduction for its successor would be most welcome. The Pixel 9 series launched on August 22, 2024, and the date should be similar this time around.

Google Pixel 10 ad leak reveals design, AI features ahead of launch

The leak originated from X user @MarksGonePublic, who said he stumbled upon a "full-on commercial shoot" for the device. The leaked visuals of the Pixel 10 suggest a design closely resembling the Pixel 9 Pro -- two circular sensors believed to be a flash and a thermometer sensor, alongside the power button, volume rocker, and oval-like camera lenses, similar to its predecessor.A Google Pixel 10 advertisement that was being filmed on a public beach in Vancouver, Canada, has inadvertently revealed details about the phone's design and possible new AI features. The leak originated from X user @MarksGonePublic, who shared behind-the-scenes photos of a professional shoot and a storyboard that clearly identifies the device as the Google Pixel 10. According to the user, he stumbled upon a "full-on commercial shoot" for the device, which appears to carry the campaign tagline "Ask more of your phone." He wrote: Just out for a walk...stumbled onto a full-on commercial shoot for the Google Pixel 10. They had a macro probe lens, a Panavision rig, and 20+ crew members...to film someone holding a phone. He went on to challenge the production choice, stating, "If the Pixel camera's so good, why not just use it?" What the leaks reveal Although the Pixel 10 is yet to be officially announced, the leaked images suggest a design closely resembling the Pixel 9 Pro. The visuals show two circular sensors -- believed to be a flash and a thermometer sensor -- alongside the power button, volume rocker, and oval-like camera lenses, just like its predecessor. The included storyboards place a strong focus on the camera. One showcases a clean product shot, while another appears to highlight a feature titled "Add Me." Also visible in the leak are two distant real-world shots of the Pixel 10 Pro in the black Obsidian finish, again echoing the look of the Pixel 9 Pro. Given Google's recent AI announcements around its Gemini platform at I/O 2025, it's likely the Pixel 10 will arrive equipped with enhanced generative AI (GenAI) features.

Google Pixel 10 leak reveals design, colour options and major camera upgrade ahead of launch

Likely to ship with Tensor G5 chip, Android 16, and advanced AI features. Google has been working on its upcoming flagship, the Pixel 10, and it has already surfaced online, thanks to a behind-the-scenes leak from a commercial shoot, which provides the first look at the phone's potential design and some of its key features. The leak, which was briefly shared online before being removed, suggests that the tech giant is nearing the end of its preparations for the device's official launch, expected in August 2025. According to leaked visuals, the Pixel 10 will have a similar design to its predecessor, including buttons and form factor. The biggest changes appear to be in the camera department. The leaked image shows the device with a triple camera setup, which was previously only available on the Pro series. This means that Google may streamline the triple camera setup across all Pixel 10 variants. The leaks also suggest that Pixel 10 may be released in Obsidian (Black), Blue, Iris (Purple), and Limoncello (Yellow), while the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will be released in Obsidian, Green, Sterling (Grey), and Porcelain. According to the reports, Google may introduce new colour options such as Limoncello and Sterling, making the lineup more vibrant. While exact details are unknown, leaks suggest that the Google Pixel 10 will be powered by the Tensor G5 chip. It may come with up to 12GB of RAM. The Pixel 10 Pro may be equipped with up to 16GB RAM. It is also expected to come with Android 16 out of the box.
