The Pixel 10 is expected to launch on August 28, with Google officially announcing the device on August 20. After recent leaks about the camera specs and the cooling system of the smartphone, AndroidHeadlines has provided more details about the Pixel 10. As per the new report, the phone keeps the same 6.3-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Brightness sees a jump, with high-brightness mode increasing from 1800 nits to 2000 nits, and peak brightness going from 2700 nits to 3000 nits.
The Pixel 10 runs on the new Tensor G5 chip, made on TSMC’s 3nm process. It comes with 12GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. Google has not added a higher storage option or increased the base storage. The battery is slightly larger at 4970mAh. Wired charging now supports up to 29W, while wireless charging supports up to 15W using Qi2. Older Qi chargers will be limited to 7.5W.
The camera setup has changed. The main sensor is a 48MP unit, likely the same 1/2.0-inch sensor used in the Pixel 9a. The ultrawide camera drops to 12MP from last year’s 48MP. A new 10.8MP 5x telephoto lens has been added, the same one used in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. While the hardware is a downgrade, Google’s software processing may help balance image quality. The phone does not support Ultra Res Zoom or ultra-stable video recording, which are limited to the Pro models.
Additional display details
All Pixel 10 phones, including the base model and Pro variants, are getting brighter screens compared to the Pixel 9 series. Adaptive refresh rate is still not supported on the base model. Only the Pro and Pro XL versions will have high-speed backlight modulation (PWM) to reduce eye strain.
As previously reported, the Pixel 10 will again skip vapor chamber cooling, which remains limited to Pro models. This may affect thermal performance.
