Just days after Google officially announced its next hardware event for August 20, new leaked renders have shown off what looks to be the final design of the standard Pixel 10. The images, which come courtesy of Android Headlines, give us our clearest view yet of the phone.
Looking at the phone, the first thing you"d notice is probably how similar it looks to the Pixel 9 at a glance. It keeps the same general camera bar design that has defined the lineup since the days of the Pixel 6. As Android Headlines notes, the single piece of glass covering the camera array is now larger, stretching further across the bar to make room for an extra lens. Here"s what they look like side by side.
That extra lens is, of course, a telephoto meant for the base Pixel 10 (finally). The leak suggests all Pixel 10 models will feature smaller camera sensors this year, perhaps to better separate the standard models from the Pro lineup. The setup is rumored to be a 48MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 10.8MP telephoto.
As for the colors, we have Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, and Limoncello. That last one is named after the Italian drink, a sweet lemon liqueur. Frost is basically a very light, almost icy, blue.
At the announcement event, Google is expected to put a heavy focus on software and AI. We are hearing a lot about new AI features, including something called "Pixel Sense," which is designed to be a proactive on-device assistant. A quick side note: Microsoft has its own "PixelSense" trademark for its Surface displays, so it"ll be interesting to see if it lets Google use the name without a fight.
As for the hardware specs, rumors and leaks have it that a new Tensor G5 chip will power the phone, paired with a potential 4,970mAh battery and a 120Hz display. For more details, you can check out our dedicated piece on everything we know so far about the upcoming Pixel series.
