The Google Pixel 10 family of phones is here, and they mark a fairly significant upgrade from the previous generation devices. At the heart of all the devices is an amped up AI experience with exciting new features.
The Design and Specs
The phones are designed with the camera bar seamlessly integrated into the device. Made from premium durable spacecraft-grade aluminum and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, there are new wallpaper effects, a refined app UI, and a new modern notification shade. They meet an IP68 dust and water resistance rating.
Each phone is powered by the new Google Tensor G5 chip, which facilitates the most advanced on-device AI processing for a Pixel device to date. This also ensures a smoother experience and makes all the new AI features possible (see below for what these are).
An interesting new inclusion is Pixelsnap, magnetic technology built into the phone you can use to snap on wireless accessories like chargers, stands, and grips without needing a case. This is enabled through Qi2 inclusion, making the Pixel 10 series one of the first to include Qi2 baked in versus offering support for it with a compatible case. Use the feature with the new Pixelsnap Charger to enjoy quick and efficient Qi2 wireless charging. Google has a wide range of new Pixelsnap accessories you can use with all three phones, but the feature will also work with other certified ones from Made for Google partners.
All new phones will receive seven years of Pixel Drops and OS and security updates. Now, let’s dive into each phone and what makes them different from one another and previous gen models.
Google Pixel 10
The entry Google Pixel 10 has a 6.3-inch Actua display, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, up to 3,000 nits peak brightness, 30+ hour battery life with the 4,970mAh battery (up to 100 hours with Extreme Battery Saver) and fast charging support, 12GB RAM, and 128 or 256GB storage.
It has a triple camera system with a 48MP wide with Macro Focus, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto lens, 10.5MP Dual PD selfie camera with autofocus, and Super Res Zoom up to 20x.

Google Pixel 10 Pro & Pro XL
The Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL are the more powerful models in the line combining the G5 chip with 16GB RAM and 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage. It’s the brightest Pixel to date boasting 3,300 nits peak brightness and comes in a 6.3-inch (Pro) or 6.8-inch (Pro XL) size. Boasting 30+ hour battery life (up to 100 hours with Extreme Battery Saver) via a 4,870mAh battery (5,200mAh for the Pro XL), both also offer fast charging support.
The triple camera system offers improvements including Pro Res Zoom, High Res Portraits, and improved stabilization with Video Boost. This includes a 50MP wide camera, 48MP ultra-wide with Macro Focus, 48MP 5x telephoto lens, and 42MP Dual PD selfie camera with autofocus.
The Pixel 10 Pro will start at $1,349 in Canada and the Pixel 10 Pro XL for $1,629. Both will be available starting August 28, 2025.
Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold
The latest foldable is the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which has the largest screen: an 8-inch Super Actua Flex display inside combined with a 6.4-inch outer Actua display with thinner bezels. Fueled by Gemini and the G5 chip like the others, the ultra-thin phone has 16GB RAM, 3,000 nits peak brightness, and a high-strength hinge made of spacecraft-grade aluminum. The IP68 rated phone has a bigger battery that can last up to 24 hours and can charge to 50% in just 30 minutes.
Enjoy features like Split Screen with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, drag and drop images, and leverage Instant View to review photos side by side on the inner screen. There’s also Dual Screen Preview, Rear Camera Selfie, and more.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will sell for a starting price of $2,399. It will be available starting October 9, 2025.
New Google AI Features
Google AI on Pixel includes features like being able to connect to Maps to find locations nearby, then text the location to members of your friend or family group. You can ask Gemini to add the reservation to a calendar and even prompt you when you should head out in order to make it on time based on traffic. This can all happen using Gemini Live for natural, hands-free conversations.
You can also share your camera in Gemini Live to converse about what you’re seeing in front of you. At launch, the Google Pixel 10 Pro phones will come with a one-year subscription to the Google Pixel AI Pro plan.
Magic Cue is a new feature designed to anticipate your needs and suggest relevant information to help. It could be calling up your flight details while you’re on hold with the airline or bringing up the address of the Airbnb you’re at when a friend messages you asking for it. It’s all powered by the new Google Tensor G5 chip.
When it comes to photos, there are new AI editing tools. Camera Coach, powered by Gemini, reads the scene and offers suggestions to help you adjust the angle and lighting, even use the right photo capture mode. There’s also Auto Best Take now, which automatically finds and combines similar photos into one where everyone looks their best. The popular Add Me feature has also been improved so you can add the photographer to bigger groups.
