Google has dropped the Android 16 update a few days ago, and now the company is preparing for its next hardware launch event, Made by Google. The tech giant is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series, comprising the standard Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and the larger Pixel 10 Pro XL, at the upcoming event. Although the official date has not been announced yet, a recent report suggests that the phones will debut by the third week of August.
Additionally, the upcoming Pixel 10 lineup is also tipped to get magnetic charging support. According to a report by Android Authority, the phones could ship with a ConvenientPower CPS4041 controller chip for wireless charging, which can support up to 60W charging. However, Google can limit the charging capacity accordingly. Here’s what we know about the upcoming Pixel 10 series.
Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL release date (Expected)
According to a report by Android Headlines, the Pixel 10 series is likely to debut on August 20. Earlier, the event was tipped to take place on August 13; however, an updated report citing industry sources has confirmed that it has been pushed by a week. The devices are likely to hit shelves by August 28.
Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL design (Expected)
Recently, a couple of images leaked from an alleged Pixel 10 ad shoot via X (formerly Twitter), revealing the design of the upcoming Pixel 10. The leaked images suggest a similar rear camera visor as seen on the Pixel 9. The camera island was also seen housing a triple camera setup alongside the popular temperature sensor. This also coincides with the reports suggesting a telephoto lens on the Pixel 10.
Similarly, the Pro models are rumoured to get near-identical camera hardware and designs to last year’s.
Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL specification (Expected)
The Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro are said to feature a 6.3-inch AMOLED display, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL can get a larger 6.8-inch AMOLED panel offering a peak brightness of up to 2,700 nits. All three handsets are expected to run on Android 16 with seven years of OS and security updates. The smartphones will also pack a slew of new AI capabilities shown at Google I/O 2025.
In terms of the camera, the standard Pixel 10 is likely to feature a third telephoto lens, which was previously exclusive to the Pro variants. However, the phone’s primary and ultrawide sensors are reportedly compromised to balance the cost.
On the other hand, the Pro models will likely retain last year’s camera hardware, with some software enhancements and AI capabilities. Additionally, all three handsets are also speculated to pack the next-gen Tensor G5 chipset paired with up to 16GB of RAM.
