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

Pixel 10 might assist Qi2 magnetic charging
The Pixel 10 collection might assist magnetic equipment, making it one of many few Android telephones that might work with lots 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 completely assist Qi2 wi-fi charging, which helps magnetic alignment and has magnets constructed into the telephone while not having a case.
An picture posted by Blass seems to point out a Pixel 10 with a round wi-fi charger connected to the again, possible utilizing magnets just like how MagSafe works with the iPhone. If so, it is an enormous step for the Qi2 wi-fi customary, as the one different Android telephone thus far that helps magnetic equipment is the HMD Skyline.
This may enable the Pixel 10 collection to natively work with magnetic telephone 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 referred to as PixelSnap.
If this comes true, it will 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 telephone.
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 12 months’s Tensor G4 chip within the Pixel 9 lineup, we presume that the Pixel 10 telephones shall be powered by a (supposedly named) Tensor G5 chip. We have heard a couple of Tensor G5 rumors, together with that will probably be made on an industry-standard 3nm course of by chip fabricator TSMC, based on 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 should 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 telephone itself will carry out slowly, as the identical report says it should run quicker than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor that powers
Whether or not the Tensor G5 lags behind different cellular chips is not as worrying because it might sound, for the reason that Tensor chips are constructed for Google’s Pixel units — and people aren’t underperforming in each day use. As CNET Editor-at-Giant Andy Lanxon mentioned in regards to the Tensor G4 powering the Pixel 9 Professional XL, “On the one hand, it is disappointing to not see extra of a tangible enchancment over the predecessor. Alternatively, 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 analogous look to the Pixel 9 Professional Fold (pictured right here), however embrace the newer processor.
Pixel 10 Professional Fold
There aren’t many rumors pointing towards one other Pixel Fold, but it surely’s all the time doable that Google surprises us with an enormous reveal of one other model of its foldable telephone line. The latest, final 12 months’s Pixel 9 Professional Fold, not solely switched up its nomenclature to suit into that 12 months’s customary Pixel lineup, but additionally altered its design from the broader passport-size authentic 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. However a latest rumor from Blass suggests we might anticipate the same old upgrades: a brand new Tensor G5 chip, maybe slight spec upgrades and perhaps even related digicam 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 12 months’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 occasion for the Pixel 10 collection.
