Friends, when it comes to flagship phones, Google Pixel series always brings a different excitement! And now, at the Made by Google event on August 20, 2025, we are going to get the official first look of Google Pixel 10. Leaked renders have already created a lot of hype about this phone, and this phone is really going to be a game-changer.
So let’s talk about its design, camera, performance, and other features, and see who this Google Pixel 10 is perfect for and if there are any shortcomings in it. And yes, we’ll also talk about Flipkart’s latest offers that can make it a little affordable!
Google Pixel 10
Design: Stylish and Premium
The design of the Google Pixel 10 is inspired by its predecessor Pixel 9, but with some new twists. The phone will come in Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, and Lemon colours, which give a sophisticated and vibrant look. It has the signature camera bar, which now blends seamlessly with the frame, and with the premium aluminium frame, the phone looks quite sleek and modern.
Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protects its screen and back, and it also has an IP68 rating, meaning it can survive in 1.5 meter water for up to 30 minutes.
Display: Bright And Smooth
The Pixel 10 sports a 6.3-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display that comes with a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s smooth enough for screen scrolling and animations, and is also top-notch for outdoor visibility with a 3000 nits peak brightness.
The Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection will protect it from scratches and drops. But there is one drawback – this is not an LTPO panel, meaning the refresh rate can’t go down to 1Hz, which is for battery saving. Still, this display delivers vibrant colours and deep blacks, which are the hallmark of AMOLED.
Camera: New Magic of Triple Camera
The biggest upgrade on Pixel 10 is its triple camera setup. It has a 48MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide, and a 10.8MP telephoto lens that delivers 5x optical zoom. This telephoto lens is a big step-up from the dual-camera setup on the Pixel 9 and is also useful for macro photography.
Google’s Tensor G5 chip and improved image signal processor (ISP) deliver better clarity and dynamic range in photos, especially in low-light and astrophotography. Video recording is up to 4K 60fps, and video stabilization is also much improved according to leaks, which feels similar to the DJI Osmo Mobile 6. Check out Android Central for camera details.
Performance: Tensor G5 Ki Power
The Pixel 10 features Google’s new Tensor G5 chipset, which is built on TSMC’s 3nm process. This chip is a big leap in efficiency and AI performance compared to previous Tensor chips which were built on Samsung’s 4nm process. With 12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage options, this phone is smooth for daily tasks, gaming, and AI-powered features like real-time translation and photo enhancement. But according to some leaks, this chip is not as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Elite, so heavy gamers may feel a little lacking.
Battery: Big, but enough?
The phone has a 4970mAh battery, which is 5% bigger than the Pixel 9. It lasts comfortably for a day in moderate use, but heavy use – like gaming, navigation, or video recording – may require you to plug in overnight. Charging speed is 29W wired and 15W Qi2 wireless, which offers magnetic charging and better thermal management.
Software: Android 16
The Pixel 10 will launch with Android 16, which further enhances Google’s AI-first approach. There’s a new assistant called Pixel Sense, which uses a lightweight version of Gemini Nano and offers smarter suggestions, summarization, and personalization. The software is clean, bloatware-free, and with 7 years of Android and security updates, the phone is future-proof. There’s also a Titan M2 chip for privacy and an improved consent framework.
