As of now, launch of the Google Pixel 10 Series is still months away, but that won’t stop rumour merchants to keep digging for new exciting information. The first CAD-based renders of the Pixel 10 Series have surfaced, thanks to famous leaker @OnLeaks in association with Android Headlines. Here’s a quick look at what we can expect from the upcoming Pixel phones.

The leaked renders offer an early look at Google’s upcoming flagship lineup, which includes the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL. While not official, the images suggest Google is sticking to its familiar design with a few key changes.

Google Pixel 10 – Same Size, but a Big Camera Upgrade

According to the renders, the Pixel 10 will have the same 6.3-inch display and nearly identical dimensions as its predecessor, measuring 152.8 x 72.0 x 8.6mm (plus 3.4mm for the camera island). It’s technically 0.1mm thicker than the Pixel 9, though this could be due to slight rounding differences or a minor design tweak like thicker glass.

The biggest change is probably a third camera lens on the back, which is going to be a first for the standard Pixel model.

Previously, one of the major differences between the base Pixel and Pro models was the camera setup, but this shift could mean Google is bringing a periscope telephoto lens to the vanilla model.

However, the Pro-exclusive thermometer sensor will likely stay that way.

Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL – Slight Changes, Same Display Sizes

The Pixel 10 Pro appears to be the same size as the regular Pixel 10, and like its predecessor, it may feature a higher display resolution compared to the base model (likely 1280p+ vs. 1080p+).

As for the Pixel 10 Pro XL, it will measure 162.7 x 76.6 x 8.5mm, making it 0.1mm shorter than the Pixel 9 Pro XL while maintaining the same thickness. It will stick with the same 6.8-inch display as last year’s model.

One small design detail remains unchanged, which is the standard Pixel 10 will have a matte mid-frame, while the Pro models will feature a glossy finish, a trend Google seems to consider “premium.”

Pixel 10 Series – What Else To Expect?

The Pixel 10 series will debut the new Tensor G5 chip, which marks a significant shift. Unlike previous Tensor chips, which were co-developed with Samsung, the G5 is reportedly built by TSMC, possibly with MediaTek’s involvement. This new chip is expected to enable 4K 60fps HDR video recording, an upgrade from the previous 4K 30fps limit.

Moreover, a new “Pixel Sense” AI assistant is rumoured to launch alongside the Pixel 10 series.

Google might also be shifting its release timeline. With Android 16 set to roll out between April and June, the Pixel 10 lineup could follow sooner than usual, possibly in August instead of the usual October launch.
