Google has teased the Pixel 10 ahead of its official launch on 20 August 2025. The new phones stick to a familiar design but add a third rear camera, slimmer bezels, and bolder colour options like Indigo and Limoncello.
Powered by the upgraded Tensor G5 chip, the Pixel 10 promises better battery life, improved AI features, and sharper zoom—even on the base model. Here’s everything confirmed so far, from specs to colours, and no, there are no plans for it to hit store shelves in the UAE.
🛠️ Design: Familiar but refined
Google isn’t reinventing the wheel here. The Pixel 10 retains the flat edges, punch-hole selfie camera, and the raised horizontal camera bar we’ve seen before.
- Shapes and overall look echo Pixel 9.
- Central punch‑out remains for the front camera.
- The camera bar now stretches across the rear with space for a third lens.
- Subtle slimming of bezels on both the camera bar and the screen.
Keeping the same frame is smart. It gives developers and accessories time to adjust. But Google has softened the design with sleeker bezels and a cleaner back.
📸 Camera: Three’s now the charm
One major shift: the base model now comes with a telephoto lens. Yes, even non‑Pro receives three cameras:
- Primary lens
- Ultra‑wide
- Small periscope telephoto.
But there’s a catch: Google may swap out pixel counts. Reports suggest that the main and ultra-wide sensors could be slightly smaller than those of the last generation.
So expect more zoom utility, though maybe less megapixels.
🎨 Colours and accents
Here’s where Google finally mixes things up:
- Four finishes: Obsidian (black), Indigo (deep blue), Frost (soft grey‑blue), Limoncello (yellow‑green).
- Sets a bolder tone compared to last year’s muted palette.
- Porcelain white is out; welcome fresh shades.
These colours could even tie into storage options—so choose wisely.
📅 When & what else?
The “Made by Google” event is scheduled for August 20, 2025, in New York City.
- Expect the announcement of the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and a Pro Fold.
- The show also confirms the official teaser of the design on Google’s store.
- No information on whether the phone will be officially available in the UAE.
🧠 Smarts inside: Tensor G5
Under the hood, the series shifts to Google’s Tensor G5 chip, made on a 3 nm process by TSMC.
- Better performance and efficiency.
- Allows on‑device AI tasks—think Stable Diffusion.
- Support for Android 16 and Pixel-exclusive AI features.
