Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 series has leaked again, this time with detailed renders of both the Pixel 10 and the Pixel 10 Pro. While the new models don’t reinvent the wheel, there are some key tweaks in design that fans will definitely notice. The Pixel 10 is shown off in a new “Frost” colorway — a softer, white-ish tone that sits close to Google’s familiar Porcelain but with a fresher, cooler look.
The most obvious change on the Pixel 10 is the elongated camera bar, redesigned to accommodate a third lens: a telephoto. That’s good news for photography fans, though early whispers suggest the main and ultrawide sensors may see a slight downgrade compared to last year’s Pixel 9, likely to keep pricing steady.
The Pixel 10 Pro, meanwhile, appears in Obsidian — the classic black / dark gray option that Google never seems to skip. The renders show a matte glass back paired with glossy metal sides, a design move Google insists gives the Pro a “premium” vibe, though not all users are fans of the shiny frame. As expected, the Pro version sticks to a triple-camera setup, keeping the same overall camera bar design but polishing the look with glossy accents.
In addition to Obsidian, Google will offer the Pro in Porcelain, Jade, and Moonstone. Jade brings a greenish-yellow body with a light gold frame, while Moonstone is a unique slate blue that might turn heads this year.
Under the hood, both models run on Google’s new Tensor G5 chip — the first Pixel SoC built by TSMC instead of Samsung, using a 3nm process for better efficiency. The Pixel 10 is expected to pack 12GB RAM with 128GB or 256GB storage options, while the Pro steps up to 16GB RAM and up to 1TB of storage. Battery capacity also sees an upgrade on the Pixel 10 Pro, with a 4,870mAh cell promising all-day use. Both phones retain slim bezels, although not quite as razor-thin as Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra. Camera specs for the Pixel 10 include a 48MP main, 12MP ultrawide, and 10.8MP telephoto — a mix that balances versatility with cost management.
Pricing looks steady compared to last year. In the US, the Pixel 10 will start at \$799 for the 128GB model and \$899 for the 256GB version. Canadian pricing is expected to land at \$1,099 CAD and \$1,229 CAD. The official reveal is locked in for August 20 at Google’s annual New York event, where we’ll also see the Pro models in full color. Based on these renders, Google isn’t chasing radical design changes but is instead refining its signature Pixel aesthetic with subtle new materials and finishes — a calculated move to balance familiarity, premium touches, and performance upgrades.
