Pixel 10 leaks in public ad shoot — and it could come in seven colors
Google Pixel phones have a habit of showing up in unexpected places before release, as anyone who remembers the Pixel 9a's surprise appearance at a luchador wrestling event will know. But this latest Pixel 10 leak is especially unexpected, because it both seems to be official and extremely brazen.
On X, @MarksGonePublic shared photos of an unexpected find during a walk in Vancouver: 'a full-on commercial shoot for the Google Pixel 10'.
🎬 Just out for a walk…stumbled onto a full-on commercial shoot for the Google Pixel 10 📱They had a macro probe lens, a Panavision rig, and 20+ crew members…to film someone holding a phone 😂If the Pixel camera's so good, why not just use it? 👀 #BTS #Vancouver pic.twitter.com/muDluZfK75May 23, 2025
Although the storyboards captured on camera make frequent mention of the Pixel 10, from the images it appears to be either the Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 Pro XL, given the presence of the flash and thermometer circles to the right of the camera.
In fact, it doesn't seem all that different from the design of the Pixel 9 Pro, but if this is a hoax, it sure is an elaborate one.
'They had a macro probe lens, a Panavision rig, and 20+ crew members… to film someone holding a phone,' writes @MarksGonePublic in the post. 'If the Pixel camera's so good, why not just use it?'
For the purposes of the advert, only one device was spotted, and it was in the black shade that Google usually markets as 'obsidian'. However, according to Mystic Leaks on Telegram, there are six other colors to choose from, with three exclusive shades split evenly between the regular version and the Pro models.
For the Pixel 10, buyers can expect Obsidian, Blue, Iris or Limoncello colorways. 9to5Google notes that Google has previously used 'Limoncello' as a stand-in for its Lemongrass shade, previously seen on the Pixel 7 and Pixel Buds, so it may be closer to a light green than the yellow, which the name suggests.

For the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL, the colors will apparently be Obsidian, Green, Sterling and Porcelain. Given that three of these are essentially black, gray and white, we're hopeful that the green will stand out a bit more. Something like the mint color last seen on the Pixel 8 Pro would be welcome.
Up until now, there haven't been too many rumors about the Pixel 10, which is expected in August. However, fans of the entry-level model will be heartened to hear that it may come with an additional telephoto lens for the first time and that prices are set to remain largely the same.
We're also hopeful of a performance shot in the arm, with reports indicating that TSMC will be manufacturing the Tensor G5 chipset, rather than Samsung as previously. Google apparently has faith in the new arrangement, with Digitimes reporting that TSMC has agreed to produce chips up to at least the Pixel 14 in 2029.

Here's what Google Gemini will look like on your Android Auto dashboard
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Google Gemini is heading to Android Auto soon A new video shows how the integration will work The new AI will replace Google Assistant in cars Gemini is taking over from Google Assistant across all of Google's apps and devices, and Android Auto will be making the switch soon – as shown by a new demo video that gives us an idea of how the AI assistant is going to work on your car's dashboard. The video was captured at Google I/O 2025 and posted by 9to5Google, and you can see how Gemini slots in on the right-hand of the screen (or perhaps the left-hand, depending on the rules of the road in your country). If you've used Gemini on your phone, the interface will be familiar, with the glowing blue-ish ripples showing that Gemini is active. You're then free to ask whatever questions you have on the road, using natural language. You might want to see nearby gas stations for example, or have Gemini pull up the location of an event you're heading to from your Google Calendar. Anything you can do on your phone you can do through Gemini on Android Auto. One demo Google showed off was using Gemini to compile a list of ingredients for a particular meal in Google Keep, then asking for directions to the local grocery store to pick up the necessary supplies – all very impressive. Generally, it's much more flexible and more intelligent than Google Assistant. All of your in-car chats will be synced back to Gemini on the web and on your phone, so you can pick up where you left off on other devices and carry on the conversation. With Android Automotive (so the version built right into cars), the interface is a little more subtle, with a small pop-up bar showing Gemini. However, the exact look can vary depending on your vehicle and the dashboard screen configuration. It's not clear exactly when Gemini will show up on Android Auto, but Google has said it's coming soon, and we've seen numerous signs that it's on the way. Gemini is already the default AI assistant on new Android phones.

How Europe Is Losing the Global Tech Race
The U.S. is pulling away from Europe in economic growth—and one big reason is the continent's inability to create new big tech firms the size of Apple, Meta or Google. Europe is generating far fewer unicorns—new, privately held companies that are worth more than $1 billion—than China and the U.S. Unicorns are a good measure of capitalist innovation; they are almost always fast-growing firms that have found a new way of doing something and are shaking up an existing industry.

Here are 15 of my favorite Google Pixel wallpapers of all time
Ryan Haines / Android Authority Wallpapers are a fantastic way to freshen up your smartphone's look, which is why I love to switch mine up regularly. I've previously written about my favorite Samsung wallpapers, which I've used extensively in the past, and now I want to highlight some of my top picks from Google's Pixel lineup. Most Pixel phones come with their own distinctive set of wallpapers. While some might share similar themes, each collection usually has a unique feel. Google has curated a great selection, offering everything from dark and moody to bright and colorful options, and plenty in between. A great thing to keep in mind is that you don't actually need a Pixel device to use any of these wallpapers. You can set them on almost any smartphone, regardless of the brand — I'll show you how later. How often do you change the wallpaper on your phone? 854 votes Once a week 33 % Once a month 23 % Once a quarter 13 % Once a year 8 % Almost never 23 % Pixel 6 wallpapers The Pixel 6 collection features three wallpapers that are exceptionally bright, colorful, and youthful. They immediately evoke memories of summer and holidays — two things I thoroughly enjoy. These designs might be a bit 'out there' for some, so they won't appeal to everyone, but I personally really dig them. The first one, depicting a carefree surfer on a beautiful day, is especially impressive if you ask me. It brings a sense of peace whenever I look at it, a welcome feeling in our fast-paced lives. Pixel 8a wallpapers Inspired by minerals, the wallpapers for the Pixel 8a are simply stunning. I'm particularly drawn to the two darker options, as I frequently opt for a darker background on my phone. However, the blue variant is also very easy on the eyes, bringing a pleasant pop of color to my home screen. As someone who's into hiking, it also subtly reminds me of a mountain landscape, which I appreciate. While this phone comes with a few other wallpapers, these three truly caught my eye. Pixel 5 wallpapers The Pixel 5's wallpapers remind me of modern art — they're a bit quirky, wonderfully different, and very colorful, which is why I loved them. If you look closely, each one seems to tell a story, and they will all undoubtedly bring that extra spark to your phone. The wallpaper depicting pencils that look like a popular dish is my absolute favorite, mainly due to its sheer creativity and vibrant colors. The other two are equally eye-catching and are definite conversation starters thanks to their uniqueness. Pixel 7 wallpapers These are wing-inspired wallpapers, which immediately evoke a sense of freedom for me. There are several different versions available on the phone, but the three that particularly caught my attention are all on the darker side. They aren't flashy at all; instead, they give off a more subtle, mystical vibe. I like the first one the most, where the wing seems to cover the entire screen. It looks fantastic when I place colorful icons on my home screen — it's that contrast that makes it so appealing to me. Pixel 6a wallpapers If you're looking for something truly different, the Pixel 6a wallpapers might be it. These designs are intentionally blurred, which is a great feature if you want to keep the apps and widgets on your home screen clearly in focus. You can still see hints of color and subtle patterns, which I really appreciate. I'm most fond of the last one in the selection; the yellow just pops, yet there are enough darker tones throughout the wallpaper to provide that pleasing contrast I've mentioned a few times already. In any case, I'd be happy with any of these three on my phone. How to set these wallpapers Paul Jones / Android Authority As mentioned earlier, you can download and use these wallpapers on any phone you wish, regardless of the brand. Simply click the download button provided below each section to save them to your device. Please keep in mind that each file contains more than just the three wallpapers I've highlighted for each phone — they usually include the entire original pack of wallpapers from that device. Once you have downloaded the wallpapers, follow the standard instructions for your specific device to set your favorite image as your home screen, lock screen, or both. How to set a wallpaper on Android: Launch the Settings app. Tap on Wallpaper & style. Select More wallpapers. Find and select your wallpaper. Customize the wallpaper and hit Set Wallpaper. Pick whether you want to set the wallpaper on your Home screen or Lock screen. Hit Set. How to set a wallpaper on iPhone: Launch the Settings app. Tap on Wallpaper. Hit Add New Wallpaper. Find and select the wallpaper you want to set. Customize your wallpaper and settings to your liking, then hit Add. Tap on Set as Wallpaper Pair. Editor's note: These instructions were assembled using a Google Pixel 8a running Android 15 and an Apple iPhone 15 running iOS 18.4.1. The steps might differ if you have a different device or software version.
