All the Google Pixel 10 Specs You’ll Love (and a Few You Won’t)

Over the last few weeks, we have seen some different tidbits of the Google Pixel 10 specs, but now we’re able to share with you all of the specs that actually matter.

First off, the display. This will continue to sport a 6.3-inch FHD+ display, with a 120Hz refresh rate. Google is also sticking with Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 here; however, brightness is getting a pretty big boost this time around. As Android Authority reported this morning, its HBM or high brightness mode is jumping from 1800nits to 2,000nits. However, the peak brightness is going from 2,700nits to 3,000nits. Which is going to make this a very bright display.

Internally, these specs won’t surprise you, but we’re looking at the Tensor G5, which will be manufactured on TSMC’s 3nm process. It will also be paired with 12GB of RAM – the same amount of RAM as the $1,299 Galaxy S25 Ultra – and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. Unfortunately, Google is not upping the storage on the base model this year, nor offering a higher storage tier.

The battery is also getting a nice upgrade, gaining about 5% capacity to 4,970mAh. With charging speeds increasing to 29W, and wireless speeds of 15W over Qi2. This means that Qi2 wireless charging will charge at 15W max, but older chargers will likely cap out at 7.5W.

Google Pixel 10’s entire camera setup is getting downgraded

Some of the leaked camera specs that we have seen over the past few months have actually been wrong. And unfortunately, it’s worse than we expected. For some reason, to add the 5x telephoto to the base model, Google felt the need to also reduce the size of the other two cameras.

The primary camera will be a 48-megapixel sensor, very likely the same sensor that the Pixel 9a has, which is a 1/2.0-inch sensor. Additionally, the ultrawide is also being downgraded, pretty significantly, to a 12-megapixel sensor. Last year, Google debuted its 48MP Ultrawide sensor on the Pixel 9, so this is a very puzzling choice.

Finally, that new telephoto. This is going to be a 10.8-megapixel 5x telephoto sensor. Which might sound familiar, as it is the same sensor from the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold (and, spoiler alert: It’s also on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold).

The bright side here is that Google’s computational photography does perform better on smaller sensors, as we’ve seen with the Pixel a-series over the years. It typically wins the blind smartphone camera contests. So we’re hoping that will continue to be the case for the Pixel 10 this year.

As we reported on yesterday, the Google Pixel 10 will not have a vapor chamber and will also miss out on WiFi 7, despite the Pixel 9 having WiFi 7 support.

The Google Pixel 10 release date is slated for August 28, with Google officially announcing the lineup on August 20.
