Google Pixel 10 Series Set to Launch with Major Hardware and Software Upgrades

Google is preparing to unveil its highly anticipated Pixel 10 lineup at the upcoming Made by Google event, alongside new smartwatches and earbuds. The launch, scheduled for this week, is already drawing global attention after months of leaks and official teasers that revealed key specifications, colors, and pricing details.

Four Pixel 10 Models Expected

This year, Google is expanding its flagship portfolio with four new devices: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Promotional ads have already showcased the phones in striking shades such as “Moonstone” and “Indigo,” hinting at Google’s focus on design variety.

The base Pixel 10 is rumored to adopt a triple-camera setup for the first time, introducing a 5x telephoto lens. However, insiders suggest that compromises may have been made to the main and ultrawide sensors, sparking debate among fans about whether this truly marks an upgrade from the Pixel 9.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to make history as the first foldable smartphone to achieve an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, setting a new standard in foldable durability.

Next-Generation Charging and Accessories

Another standout feature across all models will be Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, with support for the new 25W Qi standard. Google is also set to introduce “Pixelsnap” accessories, its answer to Apple’s MagSafe ecosystem, offering users a seamless way to attach chargers and cases.

Software Innovations with Android 16

On the software side, Google will roll out Material 3 Expressive, a colorful and modern design language debuting with Android 16. The update may also include a desktop mode for enhanced productivity, in addition to new AI-powered features that reflect Google’s ongoing push into artificial intelligence.

Global Buzz Ahead of Launch

With guest appearances from stars like Jimmy Fallon, Steph Curry, Lando Norris, and the Jonas Brothers, Google is ensuring its hardware launch doubles as a cultural event. Analysts believe the Pixel 10 lineup, combined with Google’s AI strategy and expanding ecosystem, could reshape competition in the premium smartphone market.
