The upcoming Google Pixel 10 lineup is shaping up to deliver some exciting camera upgrades, especially for fans of close-up photography.
A fresh leak reveals that the Pixel 10’s telephoto lens will now support macro photography-a feature previously limited to ultrawide cameras.
This new capability, dubbed tele-macro, gives users the option to take detailed macro shots with the telephoto lens. That’s a big deal, since telephoto lenses typically offer better clarity and depth than ultrawide lenses, which, while versatile, often deliver softer images up close. The catch? The telephoto lens still has a minimum focusing distance, so if you need to get super close, the ultrawide with autofocus is still your friend-just don’t expect the same quality.
Google is still keeping the ultrawide with autofocus in the mix, so users will now have two different macro-capable options, depending on how close their subject is. It’s a smart move that balances flexibility and quality.
Beyond the camera tweaks, the Pixel 10 family is expected to launch officially on August 20, with availability starting August 28. Under the hood, Google is moving to the new Tensor G5 chip, made by TSMC for the first time-a major change that could mean better performance and improved battery efficiency compared to previous generations built by Samsung.
The Pixel 10 series will also feature fresh color options and support for Qi2 wireless charging. While it won’t have Apple-like built-in magnets, Google’s official cases will handle magnetic alignment for easier charging. Altogether, the Pixel 10 is shaping up to be one of the most refined Pixel launches yet.
