Google officially confirms Pixel 10 Pro design: What to expect?

In an exciting announcement last week, Google has confirmed that the Pixel 10 series will be introduced during its Made by Google event on August 20. Embracing its tradition of transparency, the tech giant preemptively shared the design of its latest smartphone, effectively curbing the recent flood of leaks. A brief 13-second video, available on Google's website, showcases the new device in a sleek greyish hue. The clip features a striking animation of the number '10' which transitions into the camera module, hinting strongly at the design of the forthcoming Pixel lineup. According to various leaks, this color variant may be dubbed "Moonstone" for the Pixel 10 Pro. The newly unveiled design also highlights a third camera sensor, likely a telephoto lens, adding to the excitement surrounding the device's enhanced photography capabilities. For Indian consumers, the Pixel 10 series is set to make its debut on August 21, following the global launch. This new lineup will be entering a competitive market, facing off against Samsung's Galaxy S25 series and the upcoming iPhone 17, expected to launch just weeks later. This year marks a shift in Google's release schedule; the Pixel series previously launched in October. This change aims to provide the flagship devices with a competitive edge before the new iPhones hit the shelves. As for the specifications, all three models in the Pixel 10 series are anticipated to be powered by the latest Tensor G5 chipset. Rumors suggest that the Pixel 10 will feature a 6.3-inch Full HD+ 120Hz OLED display with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for durability and an impressive peak brightness of 3,000 nits. When it comes to camera capabilities, the Pixel 10 is expected to have a 48MP main camera, likely similar to that of the Pixel 9a, while the ultra-wide sensor may see a downgrade from 48MP to 12MP. A new 10.8MP telephoto lens is also rumored to be included. In terms of battery life, the Pixel 10 is expected to pack a 4,970mAh battery with support for 29W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. The Pixel 10 Pro is likely to feature a similar 6.3-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED display with the same durability and brightness specs, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL may come with a larger 6.8-inch display. Both models are expected to have robust camera setups, including a 50MP primary camera, a 48MP ultra-wide lens, and a 48MP telephoto lens, with a 42MP front-facing camera for selfies. Additionally, the Pixel 10 Pro is anticipated to include a 4,870mAh battery, while the Pro XL may feature a larger 5,200mAh battery, supporting faster wired charging at 39W and wireless charging at 15W. Stay tuned for more updates as the launch approaches, promising a wave of new technology and features from Google.
