Overview

  • Google announced four phones—Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro Fold—each powered by the new Tensor G5 built on TSMC’s 3nm process and adding Pixelsnap magnetic Qi2 support.
  • Preorders are live with pricing starting at $899 for Pixel 10, $999 for Pixel 10 Pro, $1,199 for Pixel 10 Pro XL and $1,799 for Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and retailers are offering incentives such as up to $200 gift cards and trade‑in bonuses up to €250.
  • Google is positioning the series as AI‑first, bundling a year of Google AI Pro with the Pro models and highlighting on‑device features like Magic Cue and expanded Gemini capabilities.
  • The base Pixel 10 gains a 5x telephoto for the first time, while Pro variants standardize 16GB RAM, larger sensors, brighter LTPO displays and, on the XL, faster 45W wired and 25W Qi2 charging.
  • U.S. non‑Fold models are eSIM‑only, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is marketed as the first IP68‑rated foldable in the U.S. but won’t reach buyers until October 9.
