Google is gearing up to launch its new Pixel 10 series next month, but we already have a good idea of what the devices will offer thanks to leaked specs. While the tech giant hasn’t officially announced the Pixel 10 lineup yet, CAD renders leaked earlier this year gave us a glimpse of the design. 
Now, more details about the specs of the Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL have surfaced.
Let’s dive into the similarities first. Both the Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are powered by the new Tensor G5 SoC, Google’s custom chip. They also share the same camera setup, with a 50MP primary, a 48MP ultrawide, and a 48MP telephoto lens. On top of that, both models boast a 42MP front-facing camera. What’s interesting is that the ultrawide and telephoto lenses support macro photography. The ultrawide lens has a focus distance of just 2cm, while the telephoto lens can focus as close as 10cm.
These phones will also come with 16GB of RAM, which is a significant upgrade over previous models. Storage options vary between the two: the Pixel 10 Pro will be available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB versions, while the Pro XL will start at 256GB, skipping the 128GB model. In terms of displays, the Pixel 10 Pro features a 6.3-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED screen with a resolution of 2,856 x 1,080p, while the XL model steps up to a larger 6.8-inch display with a resolution of 2,992 x 1,344p, both reaching peak brightness of 3,000 nits, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both the front and back for added durability.
Battery life is expected to be strong with a 4,870 mAh battery in the Pixel 10 Pro and a larger 5,200 mAh unit in the Pro XL. The Pro supports 29W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and Qi2 wireless charging, while the XL has slightly faster 39W wired charging. Both phones also feature the latest in wireless charging tech, ensuring you get fast charging whether you’re at home or on the go.
While both phones offer powerful specs, there’s been some chatter in the tech community about certain areas that could use improvement, particularly charging speed. With the Pro’s 29W charging, many believe 45W should be the minimum for this class of devices. The new models’ cameras, however, seem to have impressed users, especially with the addition of macro functionality in the ultrawide and telephoto lenses. But the question remains: are the updates significant enough to warrant an upgrade for current Pixel users?
In addition to the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are also expected to debut on August 20, rounding out the new lineup. While the Pixel 10 series looks to offer some solid advancements, it’s clear that some users are hoping for more significant changes in the upcoming models, particularly in terms of charging speed and camera hardware.
