Refined design with Pixelsnap
The signature camera bar remains the hallmark of the Pixel series, but has been further refined. The Pixel 10 features a glass back, a satin aluminum frame, and four new colors: Obsidian, Frost, Indigo, and Lemongrass. The Pro models are also available in Porcelain, Moonstone, and Jade. Thanks to IP68 certification, all Pixel 10 models are dust and water resistant.
New is Pixelsnap, a magnetic technology for accessories. It allows Qi2 chargers or mounts to be attached directly to the smartphone, similar to Apple's MagSafe.
Displays even brighter
- Pixel 10: 6,3-inch Actua display, up to 3.000 nits peak brightness
- Pixel 10 Pro: 6,3-inch Super Actua LTPO, 3.300 nits
- Pixel 10 Pro XL: 6,8-inch Super Actua LTPO, 3.300 nits
All panels support 120 Hz, are suitable for HDR playback, and are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. This makes them among the brightest displays currently on the smartphone market, so even direct sunlight shouldn't be a problem.
Camera setup with more telephoto and AI
- Pixel 10: 48 MP main camera, 13 MP ultrawide, 10,8 MP telephoto (5x). Super Res zoom allows for up to 20x.
- Pixel 10 Pro & Pro XL: 50 MP main sensor, 48 MP ultra-wide with macro, and 48 MP telephoto (5x). Plus Pro Resolution Zoom with up to 100x magnification.
The new Camera Coach is a new feature. With the help of Gemini, the system offers tips on composition, suggests modes, and actively supports you while taking photos. Features like "Best Shot," "Add Me," and "Night Sight Video" are also included.
Fast Tensor G5
The new Tensor G5 is Google's biggest chip upgrade to date. Developed with DeepMind, it brings the current Gemini Nano model directly to smartphones. This allows many AI functions to run on-device, without the cloud, improving speed and privacy.
The new AI feature "Magic Cue" appears in apps like Messages or your phone and provides contextual information, for example, automatically populating flight details from emails when you're on the phone with an airline.
The Pro models come with 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage. The Pixel 10 starts with 12 GB of RAM and a maximum of 256 GB of storage. All devices launch with Android 16 and receive seven years of updates, including Pixel Drops, which regularly bring new features.
Batteries and charging
- Pixel 10: 4.970 mAh, 30 W fast charging (55% in 30 minutes)
- Pixel 10 Pro: 4.870 mAh, 30W charging
- Pixel 10 Pro XL: 5.200 mAh, 45 W charging (70% in 30 minutes)
