A Quick Overview of the Google Pixel 10

  • The latest flagship series, with a grand reveal on August 20
  • Comprises four models, including XL and Fold variants
  • Pricing mirrors that of the Pixel 9 series
  • Includes a fresh array of color options, such as Moonstone and Indigo
  • Features built-in Qi2 charging with an assortment of ‘Pixelsnap’ accessories available

With the official launch of the Pixel 10 series, we’re excited to provide a detailed rundown of these remarkable Android devices for 2025, even though they were the subject of many leaks prior to the announcement.

Confirming most leaked features alongside minor adjustments, these phones present plenty of exciting enhancements for users. While the aesthetic may seem quite similar to the Pixel 9, the upgrades delve far beyond surface-level modifications.

A substantial revamp of the color palette is a highlight, with some shades reserved for specific models. Additionally, Google has equipped the base model with a third camera and integrated a powerful Tensor G5 processor.

The price point remains consistent with last year’s models, with the significant change being that the Pixel 10 series marks the inaugural Android flagships to support Qi2 wireless charging. This means that users will now have MagSafe-like capabilities without necessitating an additional case to utilize these features.

Moreover, Google has introduced a dedicated collection of Pixelsnap accessories tailored for this wireless charging technology.

Let’s discuss the primary upgrades of the Pixel 10 phones, followed by the details on availability and pricing.

Check out our Pixel 10 reviews:

What’s New in the Pixel 10?

Overview

  • Design closely resembles the Pixel 9 series
  • Powered by the upgraded Tensor G5 chipset
  • A notable enhancement in camera hardware, including a telephoto lens for the entry model
  • Built-in Qi2 Pixelsnap magnetic charging, a groundbreaking feature for flagship Android devices

Exploring Pixel 10 Colors & Design

Let’s delve into design first, as Google has revamped the color options significantly, despite holding onto a familiar shape from last year.

Now offering seven different colors, five of which are completely new, the Pixel 10 series is rich in vibrant choices. Notably, the expected Limoncello shade has been renamed to Lemongrass (see above).

The standard Pixel 10, in particular, introduces the most dramatic shift.

Besides Obsidian (black), the other options are all fresh and unique to this model. Frost presents a subtle look, Lemongrass showcases a bold statement, and Indigo pays tribute to the original ‘Really Blue’ color from the first Pixel.

For the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL, a more sophisticated palette has been introduced, featuring Moonstone and Jade alongside the standard Obsidian and Porcelain hues.

Previously, Google’s foldable models were restricted to Obsidian and Porcelain, but with the 10 Pro Fold launch, it ventures into Moonstone and Jade instead.

Here is a comprehensive overview of the color options available:

  • Pixel 10 colors: Obsidian, Frost, Indigo, Lemongrass
  • Pixel 10 Pro/Pro XL colors: Obsidian, Porcelain, Jade, Moonstone
  • Pixel 10 Pro Fold colors: Jade, Moonstone

While many competitors are striving to create slimmer devices, Google has opted for a different design philosophy.

All Pixel 10 models are minimally thicker and heavier, attributed to larger batteries and Qi2 charging integration.

Notably, the 10 Pro Fold is distinguished as the first foldable with an IP68 certification, ensuring it is both waterproof and entirely dustproof, a significant advantage over rivals such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Qi2 Charging and Pixelsnap Technology in the Pixel 10

Up until now, getting the MagSafe experience on an Android phone often required a dedicated case, with the exception of a lesser-known HMD phone.

With the Pixel 10 series, Google breaks barriers as the first premium phones to support Qi2, which generates excitement within the community. To clarify, MagSafe is an exclusive technology from Apple, while Qi2 offers broader compatibility across devices.

Embedded magnets within the Pixel 10 design allow for easy attachment of chargers and assorted accessories, optimizing convenience whether at home, commuting, or on the go.

Google has rolled out a new series of Pixelsnap accessories compatible with the Pixel phones, ranging from a simple Ring Stand to a charger stand combo. Here’s the complete list of initial Pixelsnap accessories: 

  • Pixelsnap Ring Stand 
  • Pixelsnap Case 
  • Pixelsnap Charger 
  • Pixelsnap Charger with Stand 

The Pixelsnap Charger supports 15W wireless charging, while the Pro XL variant boasts capabilities reaching 25W thanks to Qi2 integration (it’s the first device to be offered with this capability).

There’s anticipation that Google will expand its accessories offering soon, but it has confirmed that “Pixelsnap is compatible with thousands of other magnetic accessories” from various partners, inclusive of wallets, grips, and more.

If you own MagSafe products already, they may work with the Pixel 10 phones; however, expect that charging efficiency may not reach full capabilities.

Introducing Android 16 with Advanced AI Features

Android 16 has officially launched and is already available for users, yet the Pixel 10 series leads the way as the first devices to integrate this system straight out-of-the-box. It notably showcases the much-anticipated Material 3 Expressive interface redesign.

This updated interface is designed to feel more engaging, dynamic, and appealing, offering a more personalized experience tailored to individual users.

The Pixel 10 lineup also introduces numerous AI-centric features (with Gemini already embedded), such as Camera Coach, Guided Frame, Auto Best Take, and Ask Photos for enhanced conversational AI editing.

Driving these features is Google’s new Tensor G5 chip, which although it may not lead benchmarks compared to competitors from Qualcomm and Samsung, is specifically designed around advancing AI capability tailored for Pixel devices.

As an added bonus, all Pixel 10 Pro devices come with a free one-year subscription to the Google AI Pro plan, providing users a chance to explore the full potential of these features.
