Google Pixel 10: renders and specs have leaked online
By ForGeeks Google continues to stick to the signature design of its smartphones, and the next-generation Pixel 10 will be no exception. According to CAD renders published by @OnLeaks and Android Headlines, the upcoming models are almost identical to the Pixel 9 lineup. However, there are still changes, with the addition of a third lens in the main camera and for the first time using the Tensor G5 chipset, which could bring significant performance improvements.
The new Pixel 10 will feature a third lens in the main camera and a Tensor G5 chipset, which could bring significant performance improvements.
Minimal changes in size and design

Google Pixel 10 will retain the 6.3-inch display and the same dimensions as the Pixel 9: 152.8 × 72.0 × 8.6 mm. The only difference is that the body is 0.1mm thicker. It’s not yet clear if that’s due to the stronger glass or other changes, but it’s unlikely to affect the user experience.

The most notable update is the third camera lens, which brings the regular version of the Pixel 10 closer to the Pro models. It’s not yet known which sensors are used, but the addition of an extra module could signal an improvement in photographic capabilities.
The Pixel 10 Pro is also unchanged in size, staying the same size as the regular Pixel 10. While the screen diagonal remains 6.3 inches, the difference in resolution remains questionable. Most likely, the base version will get 1080p+, while the Pro model will get 1280p+.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL measures 162.7 × 76.6 × 8.5mm, making it 0.1mm shorter than the Pixel 9 Pro XL, but the thickness remains the same. The display is also unchanged, at 6.8 inches.

One other small but interesting difference is the body finish. Like the previous series, the regular Pixel 10 will have a matte bezel, while the Pro versions will have glossy bezels, emphasizing their more premium status.

Tensor G5: Google’s first truly custom solution

The most significant update to the Pixel 10 will be the new Tensor G5 chip. Unlike previous processors that Google has co-developed with Samsung, the new chip will be manufactured at TSMC’s facilities, with MediaTek possibly involved in its creation.

One of the Tensor G5’s key improvements is support for 4K 60fps HDR recording, which is double the capabilities of previous models limited to 4K 30fps. This could make Pixel cameras even more competitive, especially in challenging lighting conditions.

Expected launch earlier than usual
Besides the new chip, an updated Pixel Sense voice assistant is expected. Google is likely to bet on deep artificial intelligence integration, which will allow the Pixel 10 to better handle text, voice, and images.

As for the release date, there’s a chance that the Pixel 10 will debut earlier than usual. Usually Google unveils new smartphones in October, but this year Android 16 is scheduled for release between April and June, and the Pixel 10 could be shown as early as August.

So while there are minimal changes to the Pixel 10 externally, the arrival of the Tensor G5 and improved cameras make it one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year.
