The Pixel10 is an Android smartphone designed, developed, and marketed by Google as part of the Google Pixel product line. It is the successor to the Pixel 9, with a modest facelift to the design introduced with that series. It features the fifth-generation Google Tensor system-on-chip, a new Qi2-ready Pixelsnap magnetic accessory support, and Gemini-powered artificial intelligence features, and comes pre-installed with Android 16 and newly-added Material 3 Expressive UI theming.
The Pixel 10 was officially announced on August 20, 2025, with the Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold at the Made by Google keynote in Brooklyn, New York. The launch event was hosted by late-night comedian Jimmy Fallon and featured appearances by NBA star Stephen Curry, Formula One driver Lando Norris, and the musical group Jonas Brothers, where they also premiered the music video of "I Can't Lose" which was also filmed on the Pixel 10 Pro.
Preorders began the same day, and it was eventually released in the United States on August 28. The Pixel 10 Series was also joined by the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a as companion accessories for the lineup. The Made By Google '25 event marks the second time Google has released its flagship Pixel products in August, before the Apple September Event for its annual iPhone release.
Ahead of the launch event, Google released several teaser videos previewing the phones, including one that poked fun at Apple's delayed launch of Apple Intelligence.
The Pixel 10's appearance is very similar to that of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 Pro models, with flat sides, rounded corners, and an oval-shaped camera bar. It shares the same exact dimensions as the Pixel 10 Pro, with a 6.3" even-bezeled display, and introduces a telephoto sensor, making it the first non-Pro Pixel with a rear triple-camera configuration.
It comes in four different colors, Obsidian, Frost, Limoncello, and Indigo, inspired by the "Really Blue" color from the first Pixel smartphone.
Like its predecessor, the Pixel 10 features a 6.3" Actua Display with a FHD+ 1080p resolution and a 120Hz maximum refresh rate, however the display has a greater peak brightness of 3000 nits.
A more notable change would be the camera system, which adds a 10.8 Megapixel 5x telephoto lens in addition to the wide-angle and ultrawide cameras. But this additional camera results in a slight downgrade of the other two sensors. The 50MP Wide and 48MP Ultrawide sensors found in the Pixel 9 (which matched the Pixel 9 Pro models) is replaced by a smaller 50MP wide sensor, which matches the Pixel 9a, and a 13MP ultrawide respectively. It keeps the same 10.5MP selfie camera as the Pixel 9. Camera AI feature Auto Best Take Automatically combines multiple group photos to select the best expression for each person. Auto Unblur Uses AI to detect and sharpen blurry photos, working on both faces and other subjects [3]
The custom Google Tensor G5 System-on-Chip (SoC) is a noticeable upgrade over the Tensor G4 and other previous Tensor processors. Instead of using Samsung Exynos fabrication, Google switched their chip manufacturer to TSMC, and used their state of the art N3E 3nm processing node that many other smartphone chips use, such as the Apple A18 Pro and Snapdragon 8 Elite. Compared to Exynos, it provides better efficiency, performance improvements, and runs at lower temperatures, which often plagued older Pixel models. [4] [5] Although it uses a similar 8-core configuration as the Tensor G4, it outperforms it in single-core and multi-core benchmarks, and outlasts it in terms of battery efficiency. It uses the same Samsung Exynos 5400 modem as the Tensor G4, allowing for Satellite connectivity for contacting emergency services in dead zones.
The Pixel 10 also adds "Pixelsnap", a Google-branded feature that adds a circular magnet array to the back of the phone to align cases, wallets, phone mounts, stands, wireless charging pucks, and other accessories using the magnetic field. It uses the Qi2, the wireless charging standard, which introduced the MagSafe magnetic pattern found in iPhones starting with the iPhone 12 series. It supports the latest Qi2 Standard, which allows for wireless charging speeds up to 15 Watts with Qi2-compatible chargers, such as the new Google Pixelsnap Charger released alongside the Pixel 10 Series. [6] It is the first Android smartphone primarily available in the western market to have magnets built into the phone's back, like iPhones, and one a few to include it internationally.
The Pixel 10 Series comes pre-installed with Android 16, with the recently-announced Material 3 Expressive UI theming also onboard at launch. It is based on the same Material You theming introduced with the Pixel 6 series and Android 12. It changes font & icon styles, makes text, time, buttons, and icons expand and scale dynamically. It makes animations more fluid and makes haptics more frequent throughout interfaces, and overhauls the notification bar and Quick Settings panel to allow for more customization.
Exclusive to the Pixel 10 Series are multiple AI-powered features. Magic Cue is an agentic suggestion integration that leverages on-device machine learning to provide relevant information to the user during a text conversation or phone call. It scans information in emails, messages, notes, and surfaces relevant suggestions to autofill in a text message or display during a phone call. It is only integrated with Google services at the moment, such as Gmail, Keep Notes, Google Messages, Google Calendar, etc.
Camera Coach is an Gemini-powered virtual guide that assists the user in taking photos in the Camera app by providing step-by-step instructions for proper framing, lighting, composition and more. It does not run on-device, and therefore reliant on an internet connection to function.
Pixel Studio: An enhanced generative AI image creator that can produce higher-quality images with more accurate prompt. It now supports people generation and text rendering within images.
Troubleshooting Agent: An on-device AI that helps diagnose and resolve common phone issues without requiring customer support intervention.
Voice Translate: Real-time call translation capabilities.
It has been reported that the Battery Health Assistance feature, that slows charging speed and reduces battery capacity over time, is mandatory on all Pixel 10 models. [7] It begins lowering voltage after 200 charge cycles and keeps adjusting until it reaches 1,000 cycles.
