📱 Pixel 10 Series: The Star of the Show
Google is expected to unveil four devices under the Pixel 10 series:
- Pixel 10
- Pixel 10 Pro
- Pixel 10 Pro XL
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold (Google’s latest foldable flagship)
🔹 Design & Build
While Google isn’t making radical design changes, there will be subtle flat-edged frames and a more premium finish. Expect slightly thinner profiles but with increased weight due to bigger batteries and hardware.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be dust-proof, addressing a long-standing concern with foldables.
🔹 Hardware & Performance
The biggest highlight is the debut of the Tensor G5 processor, Google’s first chip manufactured on TSMC’s 3nm process. Compared to its predecessors, the G5 promises:
- 30% better energy efficiency
- Faster AI processing
- Lower thermal throttling
This means smoother gaming, extended battery life, and better handling of Gemini AI features.
🔹 Cameras
Google is keeping its camera game strong:
- Pixel 10 (base model): Gains an 11MP 5x telephoto lens, a feature previously limited to Pro models.
- Pro models: Expected to carry over the ultra-wide and periscope telephoto lenses from Pixel 9 Pro.
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Premium camera setup with improved low-light and zoom capabilities.
Combined with AI editing tools, users may soon be able to add or remove people in photos post-capture, or even create cinematic zooms from static shots.
🔹 Charging & Battery
Google is embracing the new Qi2 magnetic wireless charging standard under the branding PixelSnap.
- Faster wireless charging
- Accessory ecosystem: Pixel Stand 3, Pixel Ring Stand, and snap-on cases
⌚ Pixel Watch 4: A Bigger Upgrade
The Pixel Watch 4 will be available in two sizes (41mm and 45mm)—a first for Google.
Expected upgrades include:
- Larger battery capacity (up to 20% more runtime)
- Thinner bezels & brighter AMOLED display
- Wireless charging with side charging support
- Integration with Gemini AI, enabling voice coaching, live health summaries, and predictive notifications
The Pixel Watch 4 will also run Wear OS 5 with deeper Fitbit health integration.
🎧 Pixel Buds 2a: Affordable & Smarter
Google is set to introduce the Pixel Buds 2a, a more affordable alternative to Pixel Buds Pro.

If Pixel 9 was Google’s experiment with AI, Pixel 10 is its full-scale rollout—bringing Gemini AI, Qi2 charging, and foldable innovation into one lineup.
