With the launch of the Google Pixel 10 series just around the corner, tech enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating what the new lineup will offer. Following the success of the Pixel 9 series, which introduced the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold, Google’s upcoming event on August 20th is expected to unveil the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold.
The Pixel 9 Pro’s main selling point was its dedicated 5x telephoto lens and upgraded selfie camera. However, rumors suggest that the standard Pixel 10 will also feature a telephoto lens, potentially overshadowing the need for the more expensive Pro model. Reports from Android Authority and Android Headlines indicate that the Pixel 10 lineup will sport at least three rear lenses, with a 10.8Mp sensor rumored for the telephoto lens.
While the optical zoom capabilities of the Pixel 10 are still unknown, it is expected to rival the 5x sensor on the Pixel 10 Pro. To balance the features, Google may downgrade other aspects of the Pixel 10’s camera system. The main and ultrawide lenses rumored for the Pixel 10 are the same as those on the Pixel 9a, which received positive reviews.
In terms of pricing, if Google follows suit with the Pixel 9 series, the price gap between the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro is likely to remain significant. With rumored enhancements to wireless charging, smart home integration, and location tracking, the Pixel 10 Pro may offer minor upgrades over the Pixel 10.
Despite potential improvements, unless Google introduces groundbreaking features with the Pixel 10 Pro, consumers may find better value in opting for the standard Pixel 10. With similar fundamentals in display, chipset, battery capacity, and software, the decision may ultimately come down to personal preference and budget considerations.
As the Pixel 10 series launch approaches, tech enthusiasts and consumers alike are eager to see how Google’s latest flagship phones will stack up against the competition. Stay tuned for more updates and insights on the Pixel 10 series as more information becomes available.
