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

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Extremely inside a magnetic case, with a pockets accent connected.
Pixel 10 may assist Qi2 magnetic charging
The Pixel 10 collection may assist magnetic equipment, making it one of many few Android telephones that might 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 telephone with no need a case.
An picture posted by Blass seems to indicate a Pixel 10 with a round wi-fi charger connected to the again, probably 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 telephone thus far that helps magnetic equipment is the HMD Skyline.
This might permit the Pixel 10 collection to natively work with magnetic telephone 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 can be referred to as PixelSnap.
If this involves be, it might 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 might imply that MagSafe equipment first bought to make use of with an iPhone ought to work simply as properly when swapping over to a Pixel 10 telephone.
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 yr’s Tensor G4 chip within the Pixel 9 lineup, we presume that the Pixel 10 telephones might 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, 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 big improve on final yr’s Tensor G4, a leaked benchmark take a look at claims it can 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 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 can run sooner than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor that powers
Whether or not the Tensor G5 trails different cell chips is not as worrying because it might sound because the Tensor chips are constructed for Google’s Pixel units — and people are not underperforming in day by day use. As CNET Editor-at-Giant Andy Lanxon stated concerning 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. Then again, it does not really feel prefer it’s missing in energy in any main manner.”
The Pixel 10 Professional Fold is presumed to have an analogous look to the Pixel 9 Professional Fold (pictured right here), however with the newer processor.
Pixel 10 Professional Fold
Google on Aug. 12 launched a video that reveals off what the Pixel 10 Professional Fold will appear to be. This peek solely supplies a take a look at the telephone’s design — which appears to be just like final yr’s Pixel 9 Professional 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 yr’s Pixel 9 Professional 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 concerning the supposed Tensor chip powering it. However a latest rumor from Blass suggests we may anticipate the same old upgrades: a brand new Tensor G5 chip, maybe slight spec upgrades and perhaps even comparable 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 as that software program improve has been launched early (mere weeks after Google I/O 2025), final yr’s Pixel 9 Professional Fold already has that replace.
We’ll preserve updating this roundup as we get nearer to Google’s Aug. 20 occasion for the Pixel 10 collection.
