Excitement is building around the upcoming Google Pixel 10 series as new leaks surface today. From the powerful Tensor G5 chip to a refined camera design and the return of the foldable variant, these revelations give us a clearer picture of what Google is planning for its next-generation flagship.
Pixel 10 Pro Prototype Surfaces
A fully functional prototype of the Pixel 10 Pro has appeared on the Chinese auction site Goofish, catching the attention of tech fans worldwide. The prototype features a familiar yet refined design, including a pill-shaped triple-camera setup and a sleek front display with slim bezels. Internal markings label it as a DVT (Design Validation Test) unit, but sellers have referred to it as EVT (Engineering Validation Test), hinting at near-final hardware.
Tensor G5 Confirmed in Benchmark Tests
The leak confirms the presence of Google’s long-rumored Tensor G5 processor. Built on TSMC’s 3nm architecture, the chip is expected to deliver better power efficiency and performance. Benchmark scores from a foldable Pixel 10 Pro model show 2,276 in single-core and 6,173 in multi-core tests on Geekbench, suggesting competitive performance in the flagship Android space.
Triple-Camera Upgrade Across the Line
One of the most exciting upgrades is the addition of a third camera lens to the base Pixel 10 model. Traditionally reserved for the Pro series, this inclusion marks a shift in Google’s approach to its entry-level flagship. The setup is expected to feature a wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto configuration, enhancing both zoom and macro photography capabilities.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold: High-End Specs Revealed
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is shaping up to be a premium device. It will reportedly ship with the Tensor G5 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a PowerVR GPU. The dual-display setup includes a 6.4-inch cover screen and an 8-inch internal display, both supporting 120Hz refresh rates. The device will also feature a 4,650 mAh battery and a triple-camera system with a 50MP primary sensor.
Colors and Storage Options
The Pixel 10 lineup is also expanding its color and storage offerings. The base Pixel 10 will come in Obsidian, Frost, Indigo, and Lemongrass with 128GB or 256GB of storage. The Pro model will offer higher tiers up to 1TB in Obsidian and other unique colors like Porcelain, Moonstone, and Jade. Interestingly, some storage options will be exclusive to specific colors.
Pricing and Launch Date
Pricing information has been leaked from European sources, giving us a glimpse of what to expect globally. The Pixel 10 is expected to start at €899, while the Pro version will begin at €1,099. The larger Pro XL will start at €1,299, and the Pro Fold will retail around €1,899. Google is expected to officially unveil the series on August 20, with sales likely beginning August 28.
