The anticipation surrounding the new generation of Google smartphones is growing. As leaks and rumors about the upcoming film continue to pile up, Pixel 10In recent weeks, a series of images and technical details have previewed much of what the Mountain View brand will officially announce at its next hardware event, revealing both the main technological bets and issues related to the release schedule.
Leaks seem to have become a constant when it comes to Pixel phones.While details have been revealed in dribs and drabs in the past, this time it's even been possible to see prototypes in real-life photographs, access their key specifications, and learn, with some precision, the dates when the new devices will hit the market.
An increasingly clear date for the release of the Pixel 10 family
According to information already widely disseminated by specialized portals such as Android Headlines and international technology media, the The official presentation of the Google Pixel 10 will take place on August 13, 2025.That same day the work? of the new terminals, and just a week later, the August 20th, XNUMX, the first shipments will begin and availability in physical and online stores will begin.
The release schedule will repeat the same pattern as the previous year's Pixel 9 generation, although this time reservations and shipments appear to be a few days earlier than the usual schedule. It's also worth noting that while there were initial rumors about a possible early launch in June, these have been denied by internal sources, and the August roadmap remains in place.
Real photos and prototype details: this is what the new Pixel 10 will look like.
In addition to the date, Several leaks have brought to light images of prototypes of the Pixel 10Pro, many of them under the name DVT1.0 (Design Verification Test), which indicates that, although they are pre-production units, they show a practically final design. The snapshots, shared on platforms like coolapk and specialized Telegram channels, show that the Pixel 10 will follow the aesthetic line already seen in the Pixel 9. The terminal maintains the metallic body and straight edges, although the corners have been rounded more. and rear camera band widens subtly.
Among the most visible changes, The camera module features a larger glass cover and a thinner metal rim. The arrangement of the speakers and microphone at the bottom has also changed compared to previous models, and there is a new location for the SIM tray.
The range will consist of the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold (foldable)The Pro models will continue to feature large displays, while the XL version is presented as the larger option for those looking for a large-screen device. While the design isn't revolutionary, it does introduce functional improvements in construction and ergonomics, and includes exclusive finishes and colors.

Tensor G5 processor: jump to 3 nanometers and more artificial intelligence
One of the main advances is the arrival of the new Google Tensor G5 processor, manufactured by TSMC. This eight-core chip uses a process 3 nanometers, on par with the most advanced processors in the sector, such as those from Qualcomm or Xiaomi. Tensor G5 incorporates a Cortex-X4 core, multiple Cortex-A725 and Cortex-A520, which represents a step forward in power and energy efficiency compared to the Tensor G4. Leaked prototypes show variants with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. You can get more details in our analysis of the Tensor G5 processor and its leaks.
This new platform not only promises a improved gross performance, but will facilitate a Greater integration of artificial intelligence-based functions, an area where Google aims to maintain its advantage over Apple and other manufacturers. AI is expected to play a central role in photography, personalization, and productivity, building on Gemini's previous work and accumulated software expertise.
Cameras: expected changes and controversy over sensor quality
Photography will continue to be one of the pillars of the Pixel, although Not all leaks point to major breakthroughsInternal documents indicate that the Standard Pixel 10 could include an additional telephoto lens —likely the same 10,8MP sensor seen in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, with 5x optical zoom—, but at the cost of reduce the size (and presumably the quality) of the main and ultra-wide sensors, which would be similar to those used in the Pixel 9a.
The Pro and Pro XL versions will retain the familiar camera setup., with a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 48MP telephoto lens, while the Fold model will receive a slight update to the main sensor. Although these changes may generate debate among the most demanding users, Google's commitment seems geared toward optimizing costs and focusing on software development and AI image processing.
New sounds and wallpaper, and the importance of the calendar
Another striking novelty is the Leak of the new system sounds that will accompany the Pixel 10: Both the ringtone and the notification and alarm sounds have appeared on channels like the Google Pixel Hub ahead of the official announcement. The new melodies, which maintain the essence of the "Sound Matters" collection but with softer, fresher variations, will also be available for older models, as was the case with previous editions.
The unveiling event is scheduled for August 13, keeping with Google's calendar tradition and in line with leaks. Google's strategy of maintaining most of the previous generation's design and features demonstrates a clear commitment to progressive evolution rather than radical changes. Although leaks have diminished some of the surprise factor, the Pixel 10 is consolidating as one of the most anticipated releases of the year for Android and mobile technology enthusiasts, with improvements in hardware, AI, and usability, despite its design being familiar to many users.
