Pixel 10 launch: 5 key things we expect from the next-gen Google phones
That said, numerous upgrades are anticipated with the Pixel 10 series, and here's a roundup of what Google might offer based on current reports. Read on.
Based on reports so far, Google could indeed be bringing a major upgrade by switching to TSMC. So far, Google Pixel devices have used Tensor chipsets made by Samsung. However, Google is now expected to use TSMC's process, and the Tensor G5, expected in the Pixel 10, could be made by TSMC. This could be a major upgrade in terms of how the processors fare in everyday tasks, as well as in efficiency and power. Pixel 10 vanilla model may receive new a new camera lens
So far, Google's standard Pixel models have shipped with a dual-camera setup, as was the case with the Pixel 6, Pixel 7, Pixel 8, and Pixel 9. However, Google might finally have a third camera for the Pixel 10, which could be a telephoto lens. This would mean a triple-camera setup right from the standard variant, making for a much more versatile camera system. A new tele-macro function is also rumoured
Some phones, like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and the Vivo X200 Pro, allow you to capture macro photos using the telephoto lens. This is unlike the ultra-wide macros present on the Pixel 9 Pro XL and the likes of the iPhone 16 Pro.
Now, it seems Google could be bringing a telephoto macro function to the Pixel 10 Pro, as reported by Android Headlines. This would mean you could take macro shots of subjects while remaining quite far from them, which provides an interesting perspective and allows for wider creative possibilities. More or less the same design as Pixel 9
Pixel 9 series last year offered a design overhaul, wherein the Pixels switched to a flat front, back, and flat sides, very reminiscent of the current industry-wide trend. It started featuring a disconnected camera module, which sits in the top half of the phone. It is a truly distinct look and unlike any other phone available on the market.
Based on the leaked renders seen so far, the Pixel 10 series is expected to feature the same design language. Google Pixel 10 likely be available from the official Google Store in India
Earlier this month, Google finally launched its own official online store in the Indian market, which allows users to buy Pixel devices directly from Google. So, it is likely that the Pixel 10 series will be available to buy directly from Google in India.

Google agrees $36 million fine for anti-competitive deals with Australia telcos
Google agreed on Monday to pay a A$55 million ($35.8 million) fine in Australia after the consumer watchdog found it had hurt competition by paying the country's two largest telcos to pre-install its search application on Android phones, excluding rival search engines. The fine extends a bumpy period for the Alphabet-owned internet giant in Australia, where last week a court mostly ruled against it in a lawsuit brought by Fortnite maker Epic Games accusing Google and Apple of preventing rival application stores in their operating systems. Google's YouTube was also last month added to an Australian ban on social media platforms admitting users aged under 16, reversing an earlier decision to exempt the video-sharing site. On anti-competitive tie-ups with Australian telcos, the country's consumer watchdog on Monday said Google struck deals with Telstra and Optus, under which the tech giant shared with them advertising revenue generated from Google Search on Android devices between late 2019 and early 2021. Google admitted the arrangement had a substantial impact on competition from rival search engines, and has stopped signing similar deals while also agreeing to the fine, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) added. 'Today's outcome … created the potential for millions of Australians to have greater search choice in the future, and for competing search providers to gain meaningful exposure to Australian consumers,' ACCC Chair Gina-Cass Gottlieb said. Google and the ACCC have jointly submitted to the Federal Court that Google should pay the A$55 million fine. The court must still decide if the penalty is appropriate, the ACCC said, but the cooperation between the regulator and Google has helped avoid lengthy litigation. A Google spokesperson said the company was pleased to resolve the ACCC's concerns which involved 'provisions that haven't been in our commercial agreements for some time'. 'We are committed to providing Android device makers more flexibility to pre-load browsers and search apps, while preserving the offerings and features that help them innovate, compete with Apple, and keep costs low,' the spokesperson added. Google owns Android. A Telstra spokesperson referred Reuters to an earlier statement saying it and Optus, owned by Singapore Telecommunications, had fully cooperated with the ACCC and promised not to sign agreements with Google to pre-install its search product since 2024. SingTel was not immediately available for comment.

Australian regulator sues Google over anti-competitive Search deals
Alphabet's Google was taken to court by Australia's regulator on Monday over the company's "anti-competitive" Google Search deals with telecom operators Telstra and Singapore Telecommunications-owned Optus. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said Google Asia Pacific reached "understandings" with Telstra and Optus between December 2019 and March 2021 to pre-install only Google Search on Android phones they sold. "In return, Telstra and Optus received a share of the revenue Google generated from ads displayed to consumers when they used Google Search on their Android phones," the ACCC said in a statement. Google has cooperated with the regulator, admitted liability and agreed to jointly submit to the Federal Court that it should pay a total penalty of A$55 million ($35.8 million), the ACCC said. The regulator has accepted an undertaking from Google Asia Pacific and its parent company, Google LLC, committing to removing certain pre-installations and default search engine restrictions from contracts with Android phone makers and telcos. "Today's outcome... created the potential for millions of Australians to have greater search choice in the future, and for competing search providers to gain meaningful exposure to Australian consumers," ACCC Chair Gina-Cass Gottlieb said in a statement. Google, Telstra and Optus did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
