We haven’t spent lengthy with the bottom Google Pixel 10, however we’ve already seen sufficient to conclude that it’s this 12 months’s most-improved Pixel telephone. Due to a brand new 5x telephoto zoom lens, magnetic Pixelsnap charging and the identical cool design we noticed final 12 months, it’s now a real rival to the iPhone 16.
The standout characteristic is that 5x zoom digital camera, which places it a reduce above the iPhone 16 (which has no optical zoom) and Galaxy S25 (3x zoom), by way of optical attain not less than. If that lens combines effectively with the Pixel 10’s new Tensor G5 chip and picture processor, it ought to take Google’s base mannequin to new photographic heights.
We’ll have to spend extra time with the AI options (the likes of Digicam Coach and Magic Cue weren’t obtainable on our early units), and the Tensor G5 seemingly received’t set the benchmark exams ablaze. However as an total bundle, the Pixel 10 is a really promising telephone certainly.

Our US Mobiles Editor Philip Berne has spent a number of hours with each the ten Professional and Professional XL and says “they look like the best Pixel phones yet”. He was significantly impressed by the arrival of Pixelsnap (Google’s reply to Apple’s MagSafe), but in addition the promising digital camera enhancements – most notably, a brand new 5x telephoto lens and the prospect of 100x Professional Res zoom.
We’ll have to spend a bit of extra time dwelling with the brand new AI options like Magic Cue. However even when the Pixel 10 Professional is extra a refinement than an enormous leap, it’s nonetheless shaping as much as be a really compelling flagship telephone.

2025-08-20T15:04:14.340Z
As an apart, don’t count on to listen to something about Google Nest immediately or Dwelling updates, as there’s been no trace from Google or exterior of it that there’ll be any new characteristic drops or up to date for its home-centric tech.

Over to our Senior Editor of AI, Graham Barlow, with what he’d wish to see from Google on the AI facet immediately:
“As a regular Gemini user I’m looking for some improvements to my favorite parts of Gemini which make use of any hardware improvements that the new Pixel 10 phones may have. Simply put, the faster and more powerful the phone, the more you can do with AI. Improved speed and smoothness in AI generated responses would be top of my list.”
2025-08-20T14:14:53.523Z
Not seeing a lot on the last-minute leaks entrance, so I believe issues might be quiet till the principle present.
2025-08-20T13:56:30.509Z
As Phil notes, a give attention to AI is what all of the Pixel telephones are about, and I’m hoping we’ll see Google go arduous on AI immediately.
After Apple fumbled the ball a bit with Apple Intelligence, and Samsung hasn’t made Galaxy AI as neatly built-in into its telephones expertise as I’d like, I feel Google has a transparent alternative to essentially set the usual right here.

Again to the Pixel 10, and we’ve already seen early benchmarks of the telephones, however as Senior Editor Philip Berne factors out, they don’t actually matter.
“Pixel phones can do everything Google says they can do, unlike some faster phone makers. I’m still waiting for the promised AI features from Apple and Samsung, but I don’t remember Google overpromising Gemini’s ability to make career decisions for me (Siri) or turn out the lights when it detects I’m asleep (Bixby),” Berne stated, pontificating on the benchmarks.
2025-08-20T13:09:25.679Z
I ought to say I all the time relatively appreciated the older Pixel telephone design. I appreciated the easy, utilitarian look of them. However I do suppose the design language launched with the Pixel 6 after which iterated on has been my favorite to this point.
2025-08-20T12:46:15.380Z

I do miss the innovation that Google used to convey to the Pixel telephones, such because the radar sensor discovered within the Google Pixel 4, and the squeezable sides of the Pixel 3 collection.
I additionally suppose the rear fingerprint scanner was additionally relatively neat. However every to their very own on the subject of smartphone preferences.
2025-08-20T12:44:09.211Z
So the Pixel telephones have developed so much since then, however I really feel they all the time tried to place good options front-and-center, which suggests their evolution into AI telephones appeared logical.
I additionally reckon Pixel telephones have constantly delivered on spectacular cameras, though Samsung and Apple have definitely caught up and sometimes surpassed Google.
2025-08-20T12:42:19.658Z
Editor-at-Giant, Lance Ulanoff, simply identified a collection of issues he recollects older Pixel telephones sporting.
He detailed the rear fingerprint reader, how the Google Assistant was entrance and middle to the Pixel expertise, how good the cameras have been, and the way some folks shrugged on the design.
2025-08-20T12:08:51.635Z
Now over to my Telephones Editor Axel Metz, who I’ve tapped up for what he’s trying ahead to from Google immediately:
“It feels wrong to say that an accessory announcement is my most anticipated reveal at today’s Made by Google showcase, but the Pixel 10 series potentially getting its own MagSafe-style technology is a bigger deal than it sounds. We love Google phones for their clean software, but true Qi2 charging support would give Pixels rare hardware edge over Android competitors.”

So that you may ask, what Pixel machine am I most trying forwards to?
Even should you didn’t I’m nonetheless going to ponder that query. I have a tendency to love the Pixel Professional telephones, with the Pixel 9 Professional providing a neat mix of specs and AI good all in a decently compact bundle. So the Pixel 10 Professional is certain to enchantment to me.
However I’m additionally curious to see what Google does with the Pixel 10 Professional Fold, which would be the search big’s third stab at a foldable telephone. I hope AI is employed to make that additional display screen house much more usable and helps make the folding telephone a productiveness powerhouse.
2025-08-20T11:46:43.091Z
Nevertheless, the Pixel Buds 2a might convey with them a worth hike: the place the Pixel Buds A got here in at €99, the Buds 2a will supposedly be €149. That’s a hefty worth improve and if it’s mirrored in different markets would imply $149 / £149 / AU$195.
2025-08-20T11:45:12.601Z

On the Pixel Buds 2a facet, the rumors to this point level in direction of an developed design, extra energy, new options like head monitoring, and higher sound isolation.
When it comes to {hardware} upgrades, they may supply the most important leaps out of all of the merchandise Google is about to disclose immediately.
2025-08-20T11:25:19.276Z
I count on boosts within the sensor and efficiency capabilities on the Pixel Watch 4 might make it much more interesting than its rumored design may tip.
2025-08-20T11:17:27.454Z

The identical will be stated for the Google Pixel Watch 4 which appears to be like so much like its predecessors.
Not a nasty factor in my view as I’ve all the time just like the design of Google’s smartwatch, However I do hope its obtained snappier efficiency and a bunch of AI options to make it really feel like an ‘AI smartwatch’.

One rumor did trace at the usual Google Pixel 10 going for a triple rear-camera system, including a telephoto snapper into the combo. I’ve already written how I’d be a fan of that and the way it might deal with the looming telephone menace of the iPhone 17.
However I’m not likely all that persuade Google will try this, particularly given the worth leaks, which might counsel Google will nonetheless hold the telephoto digital camera for the Professional Pixels.
2025-08-20T11:06:31.262Z
Don’t count on main {hardware} adjustments
As I’ve talked about earlier than, loads of the rumors and claimed leaks to this point have all pointed on the Pixel 10 lineup being a minor evolution on its predecessors, relatively than bringing in any dramatic upgrades.
For me, that’s kinda advantageous, because the Pixel 9 telephones are so good, I don’t suppose I’d respect Google messing with a profitable method fairly but.

In truth, I’ve already touted how I feel the Pixel 10 must convey extra AI stuff to the desk to maintain on the high of the AI telephones pile.
To cite myself: “with the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 touchdown with improved AI options, and Apple Intelligence beginning to stand up to hurry and supply a stable suite of options on suitable iPhones, in addition to some synchronicity with Macs, Google’s AI telephone crown might be up for grabs.
“So I feel that for Google to keep ahead and continue to blaze a trail for practical, and hopefully safe, consumer use, it’ll need to bring more to the table with the Pixel 10.”
2025-08-20T10:47:59.309Z
Some folks may baulk on the concept of paying iPhone 16 Professional and Galaxy S25 Plus costs for telephones with Tensor chips in them. However I really feel AI efficiency, relatively than uncooked silicon horsepower, would be the key to those Pixel telephones.
2025-08-20T10:46:16.967Z
The usual Pixel 10 appears to be lacking from that worth leak, however we count on it to return in across the identical worth because the Google Pixel 9.
And total, these costs look affordable for a flagship vary of telephones.

Going by a relatively last-minute rumor, it appears to be like like magnetic equipment can be an enormous a part of the Pixel 10 lineup, with an Apple MagSafe-style system facilitating a magnetic charging stand for the telephones.
I at present use a Pixel Stand from 2021 to cost my telephones that help wi-fi charging, so an improve right here could be a lot appreciated, particularly if it permits a wider vary of equipment ot be used with the brand new Pixel telephones.
2025-08-20T10:19:14.804Z
Anticipate to see 4 new Pixel telephones immediately: the Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Professional, Pixel 10 Professional XL and the Pixel 10 Professional Fold. This can be a refresh of the entire most important Google Pixel telephone lineup.
Don’t count on any drastic design adjustments, not less than going by the rumors, however I do count on to see new Tensor chips, maybe some enhancements on the digital camera facet equivalent to new sensors, and an enormous injection of AI software program upgrades.
