This consists of the identical rounded digital camera bar on the again. The entry-level Pixel 10 will get a model new third rear digital camera.

Pixel 10 may assist Qi2 magnetic charging
The Pixel 10 collection may assist magnetic equipment, making it one of many few Android telephones that will work with lots of the MagSafe equipment that have been first constructed to work with Apple’s iPhone. That is as a result of the Pixel 10 is rumored to completely assist Qi2 wi-fi charging, which helps magnetic alignment and has magnets constructed into the cellphone without having a case.
An image posted by Blass seems to indicate a Pixel 10 with a round wi-fi charger hooked up to the again, probably utilizing magnets much like how MagSafe works with the iPhone. If that is so, it is an enormous step for the Qi2 wi-fi normal, as the one different Android phone to date that helps magnetic equipment is the HMD Skyline.
This could permit the Pixel 10 collection to natively work with magnetic cellphone chargers, wallets, mounts and different equipment. Google may also create its personal branding for this function, as an Android Authority report claims that official Pixel 10 equipment that magnetically connect can be known as PixelSnap.
If this comes true, it could additionally make it simpler to swap equipment between the iPhone and the Pixel. Along with the iPhone’s assist for charging over USB-C, this could imply that MagSafe equipment first bought to make use of with an iPhone ought to work simply as nicely when swapping over to a Pixel 10 cellphone.
The Pixel 9 consists of the Tensor G4 processor, and its successor for the Pixel 10 is reportedly made by TSMC.
Google’s Tensor G5 chip
Following final yr’s Tensor G4 chip within the Pixel 9 lineup, we presume that the Pixel 10 telephones will likely be powered by a (supposedly named) Tensor G5 chip. We have heard just a few Tensor G5 rumors, together with that it will likely be made on an industry-standard 3nm course of by chip fabricator TSMC, in keeping with an Android Authority March report.
Different rumors are much less promising, like a July report from WCCFTech suggesting that whereas the Tensor G5 is a major improve on final yr’s Tensor G4, a leaked benchmark take a look at claims it would run slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor that is utilized in Samsung’s Galaxy S25 line and the OnePlus 13. That Qualcomm processor may also quickly be surpassed by the subsequent Qualcomm silicon coming at Snapdragon Summit in September. That is to not indicate the cellphone itself will carry out slowly, as the identical report says it would run quicker than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor that powers
Whether or not the Tensor G5 lags behind different cell chips is not as worrying because it may appear, because the Tensor chips are constructed for Google’s Pixel units — and people are not underperforming in each day use. As CNET Editor-at-Massive Andy Lanxon mentioned concerning the Tensor G4 powering the Pixel 9 Pro XL, “On the one hand, it is disappointing to not see extra of a tangible enchancment over the predecessor. Alternatively, it would not really feel prefer it’s missing in energy in any main method.”
The Pixel 10 Professional Fold is presumed to have an identical look to the Pixel 9 Professional Fold (pictured right here), however embody the newer processor.
Pixel 10 Professional Fold
There aren’t many rumors pointing towards one other Pixel Fold, nevertheless it’s at all times potential that Google surprises us with a giant reveal of one other model of its foldable cellphone line. The newest, final yr’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold, not solely switched up its nomenclature to suit into that yr’s normal Pixel lineup, but in addition altered its design from the broader passport-size unique Pixel Fold to a taller, narrower format much like different foldables just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
One Pixel 10 Professional Fold rumor from WCCFTech solely shared particulars concerning the supposed Tensor chip powering it. But a recent rumor from Blass suggests we may count on the standard upgrades: a brand new Tensor G5 chip, maybe slight spec upgrades and possibly even comparable digital camera or battery upgrades if they’re introduced for the Pixel 10 lineup.
The Pixel 10 Professional Fold would presumably get Android 16 out of the field, however since that software program improve has already been launched early (mere weeks after Google I/O 2025), final yr’s Pixel 9 Professional Fold already has that replace anyway.
We’ll maintain updating this roundup as we get nearer to Google’s Aug. 20 event for the Pixel 10 collection.
