Beginning with the three non-folding telephones within the Pixel 10 line which might be getting revealed Aug. 20, we anticipate the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Professional and Pixel 10 Professional XL to look just like the Pixel 9 line on the surface. This contains the identical rounded digital camera bar on the again. The entry-level Pixel 10 will get a brand new third rear digital camera. Whereas we will see the third digital camera within the pictures Google posted of the Pixel 10, in keeping with a chart posted by known leaker Evan Blass, this will probably be a ten.8-megapixel telephoto digital camera that can be a part of a 48-megapixel wide-angle digital camera and a 13-megapixel ultrawide.

Pixel 10 may help Qi2 magnetic charging
The Pixel 10 collection may help magnetic equipment, making it one of many few Android telephones that may work with most of the MagSafe equipment that had been first constructed to work with Apple’s iPhone. That is as a result of the Pixel 10 is rumored to totally help Qi2 wi-fi charging, which helps magnetic alignment and has magnets constructed into the cellphone while not 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, seemingly utilizing magnets just like how MagSafe works with the iPhone. If that is so, it is an enormous step for the Qi2 wi-fi customary, as the one different Android phone to this point that helps magnetic equipment is the HMD Skyline.
This could enable the Pixel 10 collection to natively work with magnetic cellphone chargers, wallets, mounts and different equipment. Google may additionally create its personal branding for this function, as an Android Authority report claims that official Pixel 10 equipment that magnetically connect could be known as PixelSnap.
If this involves be, it could additionally make it simpler to swap equipment between the iPhone and the Pixel. Along with the iPhone’s help for charging over USB-C, this might 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 contains the Tensor G4 processor, and its successor for the Pixel 10 is reportedly made by TSMC.
Google’s Tensor G5 chip
Following final 12 months’s Tensor G4 chip within the Pixel 9 lineup, we presume that the Pixel 10 telephones will probably be powered by a (supposedly named) Tensor G5 chip. We have heard a couple of Tensor G5 rumors, together with that it is going to 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 12 months’s Tensor G4, a leaked benchmark take a look at claims it’s going to 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 additionally quickly be surpassed by the following Qualcomm silicon coming at Snapdragon Summit in September. That is to not suggest the cellphone itself will carry out slowly, as the identical report says it’s going to run sooner than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor that powers
Whether or not the Tensor G5 trails different cellular 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 in regards to 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. Then again, it does not really feel prefer it’s missing in energy in any main approach.”
The Pixel 10 Professional Fold is presumed to have an identical look to the Pixel 9 Professional Fold (pictured right here), however with the newer processor.
Pixel 10 Professional Fold
Google on Aug. 12 released a video that reveals off what the Pixel 10 Professional Fold will appear to be. This peek solely gives a take a look at the cellphone’s design — which appears to be just like final 12 months’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold — saving a extra detailed take a look at its specs and cameras for the Aug. 20 occasion.
The extra iterative design is smart, as final 12 months’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold already debuted a bigger overhaul that altered its design from the broader passport-size unique Pixel Fold to a taller, narrower format just like different foldables just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
One Pixel 10 Professional Fold rumor from WCCFTech solely shared particulars in regards to the supposed Tensor chip powering it. But a recent rumor from Blass suggests we may anticipate the same old 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 as that software program improve has been launched early (mere weeks after Google I/O 2025), final 12 months’s Pixel 9 Professional Fold already has that replace.
We’ll maintain updating this roundup as we get nearer to Google’s Aug. 20 event for the Pixel 10 collection.
