While the Google Pixel 10 lineup looks to be almost identical to the Pixel 9 lineup from last year, we’re seeing that there are a lot of other upgrades within the hardware that make for a much bigger upgrade this year. Another one of those upgrades is going to be the fingerprint sensor.
Last year, Google finally added an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor (as did OnePlus in the OnePlus 13 this year). This is a pretty big upgrade over the optical sensor found in earlier models, because it’s more secure, faster, and works better when your fingers are wet. Now, we can confirm that Google is indeed upgrading that ultrasonic fingerprint sensor again this year. It’s going to be even faster than before, which is saying quite a bit, to be honest.
Of course, Google will still retain facial recognition, which is actually more secure than other Android phones, but not quite as secure as what Apple has with Face ID. Since the Pixel 8, Google’s facial recognition has supported Class 3 authentication, which is secure enough for banking apps to use. And that will continue through the Pixel 10 series.
Google’s adding Qi2 and new, bright colors
As we’ve already exclusively reported, Google is also adding Qi2 support to the Pixel 10 this year. However, it’s going to be Qi2-ready, meaning that you’ll need a case to actually take full advantage of the Qi2 wireless charging standard. This is similar to what OnePlus and Samsung have done this year with their flagship phones. And even what Apple has sort of done with the iPhone 16e (though it doesn’t actually do Qi2 as it doesn’t support the faster charging rate).
Additionally, Google is also adding new colors this year, some pretty bright ones too. Unfortunately, the “Pro” models still get the darker, and more boring colors. Google Pixel 10 colors include Ultra Blue, Limoncello, Iris, and Midnight. While Google Pixel 10 Pro colors include Sterling Gray, Light Porcelain, Midnight, and Smoky Green. Finally, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold colors include Sterling Gray and Smoky Green.
The Google Pixel 10 release date is slated for August 28, with the announcement and pre-orders opening on August 20.
