Google Pixel 10 Series Leak Suggests We Could Have Brighter Colours This Year: Know More
Last Updated: Google Pixel 10 launch is expected in August and the new leak suggests the flagship models could have some brighter shades this year. Google Pixel 10 series launch is expected around August this year so it is hardly surprising that first leaks of the new flagship model are making their way. The series could once again feature four models, including the 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and the 10 Pro Fold. The latest Pixel 10 series leak gives us more idea about Google's colour plans for these models. It seems Google will have four colourways available with the Pixel 10 series, and even the regular model will be part of the new additions. Pixel 10 Series Leak: New Colours On The Way? The leak comes via Mystic Leaks this week, where you can see the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, the 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro Fold getting new colours. Google is tipped to add a new yellow colour to its lineup. We could also have bright colour options coming to the standard Pixel 10 variant. advetisement The tipster claims the Pixel 10 will be available in blue, yellow, purple and black colours, while the 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL will include green, grey, white and black that are standard Google colours. The Pixel 10 launch could be Google's first big launch with the new Android update rolling out much in advance, something that did not happen with the Pixel 9 series last year. Reports say the Pixel 10 is likely to be powered by the Tensor G5 chipset made using the TSMC 3nm process and not the 4nm node that Samsung used to make the Tensor G4 SoC. The biggest change with TSMC could be the Tensor G5 finally becoming as powerful as the Qualcomm premium SoCs and even close to the levels of the Apple A-series chipsets. The Pixel 10 will have a triple camera configuration and sophisticated AI capabilities. But the design of the new Pixel flagships could be identical to the Pixel 9 series which will not please some users. The company has confirmed that the Android 16 update will be ready in the next few months, which means the Pixel 10 launch could include the latest version out of the box. First Published:

RedMagic's '10 Pro' is a Mobile Gaming Powerhouse
In 2025,mobile gamingisn't just flinging birds or matching candy, it's moved on from the tap-and-swipe simplicity of the past with purpose-built devices – like theRedMagic10 Pro – that pack desktop-level power in your pocket allowing you to run full-blown AAA titles wherever you are. The RedMagic 10 Pro is anAndroid-based smartphone that includes all of the typical features you'd expect in a modern phone, like a bright touchscreen with a high refresh rate, contactless payments, long battery life, and multiple cameras capable of capturing ultra-high-resolution photos and video. But what sets it apart from most is that it's been built with a focus on gaming and, as such, has been optimized It boasts a 6.85-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate, providing a fluid scrolling experience in everyday use and more than enough frames for super-smooth gaming. Additionally, it can reach a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, which ensures clarity and visibility under direct sunlight, and put it on par with other flagship devices including Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max. Unlike the iPhone, though, the RedMagic 10 Pro has a notch-free display, with the selfie camera hidden below the screen to let provide users with completely uninterrupted gameplay. Powering the RedMagic 10 Pro is one of the best chipsets currently available, with Qualcomm's flagship mobile processor theSnapdragon 8 Elite found at the heart of the device. This, together with up to 24GB of RAM (depending on the model variant), ranks the RedMagic 10 Pro among the most capable smartphones currently on the market in terms of pure performance, and in real worldterms the 10 Pro shines brightest when it comes to the main reason it exists: gaming. Powering the RedMagic 10 Pro is Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset – one of the most advanced mobile processors available today. Paired with up to 24GB of RAM (depending on the model), it firmly positions the 10 Pro among the most performance-driven smartphones on the market, especially when it comes to gaming. The 10 Pro handles even the most demanding Android games with ease, running titles likeGenshin Impact – notorious for hogging both the CPU and the GPU – steadily at high frame rates with ease and with minimal dips in performance. Additionally, the power derived from the Snapdragon chipset combined with the largeamount of RAM included by RedMagic makes the 10 Pro the ideal emulation device. Users can also expect to smoothly run various emulators with near-perfect performance for consoles including Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 3, as well as the PC emulatorWinlator, creating the potential to place vast games libraries in your pocket. Other gamer-focused features not found in most smartphones that are present in the RedMagic 10 Pro include its RGB LED lighting, which users can control and cusomize to their liking. Most importantly, though, the 10 Pro features a bespoke temperature management system known as ICE-X and described by RedMagic as the 'ultimate cooling system.' The ICE-X system is key to sustaining the 10 Pro's high performance levels and helps to keep the gaming phone's temperature down as as user turns things up during demanding gameplay sessions. It features a 23,000 RPM active fan that's been designed to operate at minimal noise, with liquid metal thermal conductivity used to ensure efficient heat dissipation and 'sustained peak performance even during marathon gaming sessions,' according to the brand. There are even two fully remappable 520Hz 'shoulder triggers' that act like real 'L' and 'R' buttons and work through haptic feedback, providing gamers with an alternative to touchscreen controls and coming in especially helpful with first-person shooter games. The RedMagic 10 Pro features a total of three cameras: a dual-lens setup on the rear comprising a wide and an ultra-wide, both at 50MP, and a single front-facing camera, the aforementioned selfie cam. Although RedMagic has managed to discreetly hide its front camera under the screen, it features a total of 2MP and is probably the weakest part of the phone. Gaming phones are quite niche and there are only two major manufacturers left in this space – RedMagic and ASUS – but, with the 10 Pro, RedMagic has managed to deliver maximum features at at an affordable price. The RedMagic 10 Pro isavailable nowin various finishes and specification starting at £549 GBP / $649 USD.

Redmagic 10 Air review: The gaming phone you can actually hold in one hand
Last year's Redmagic 10 Pro was one of the best gaming phones around with an unbelievable price point. I'm a fan of the Redmagic brand and while I disliked its take on Android, I enjoyed the premium hardware and the raw performance of the Snapdragon 8 Elite packed into that phone. I loved the $650 price tag even more, making it one of the best-valued powerhouse devices of the year. So when I got my hands on a brand-new Redmagic 10 Air, I was more than a little confused. After all, it looks almost identical to the Pro, but it is not as powerful. It uses an older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and has a smaller battery. It is also nearly the same price. Who is this phone for? I spent a few weeks with the Redmagic 10 Air, hoping to solve this riddle and understand what was behind Redmagic's thinking. I may have figured out the answer. There are three versions of the Redmagic 10 Air. The first version comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and costs $549. The next step-up is 16GB + 512GB for $600. It comes in three choices of color: twilight, hailstone, and a special 'flare' version. The phone isn't available at any stores in the US, but Redmagic does have it available for free global shipping direct from their site. I've already touched on the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset inside the device. There's a 6.8-inch screen with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It has the same liquid metal cooling that we saw in the Redmagic 10 Pro, but this device has no fan. It has a smaller 6,000mAh battery and supports 80W fast charging. Finally, it supports GSM, LTE, UTMS, and 5G, and I had no issues using it on my provider's 5G network up here in Canada. When I first took the Redmagic 10 Air out of the box, I was surprised to see that it looked almost identical to the 10 Pro. But looks can be deceiving. The Air instantly felt more comfortable to hold in my hand. It is only 7.85mm thick, and the edges are just ever-so-slightly curved, so it didn't cramp up my hand the way the 10 Pro did. I instantly liked the feel of this phone. That sentiment would grow as I used it. Holding this phone was a refreshing change from the boxy and heavy 10 Pro. At only 205g, the 10 Air is light, but not too much. It still retains a bit of heft, so you know you're holding it. Even more impressive was how Redmagic kept the screen practically bezeless. I don't like bezels nor do I like curved displays, and Redmagic has once again ticked all the right boxes when it comes to displays. The screen is decent. I wasn't blown away by it, but I wasn't disappointed, either. 120Hz is more than enough to keep everything slick, like watching YouTube and playing games. My latest obsession is Magic: The Gathering Arena, and this phone kept up with all the flying graphics and crazy colors. The dual speaker system works. They didn't blow me away, but they didn't let me down either. I played a lot of Call of Duty: Mobile on this device, and the speakers did their jobs. I need to give a shout-out to the battery here. Despite constant use, it lasted me 18 hours on a single charge. I was impressed with the 10 Pro's battery life, and I'm glad to see the little brother carry on the family legacy. The included 80W fast charger quickly brought the battery back up to 100% in a pinch. I also enjoyed some of Redmagic's software tricks to push the phone further. Charge separation is a big one, where I could set a cutoff charge level and let the phone redirect power to use the device. So, if I was gaming while the phone was plugged in, it would power the game without affecting the battery. Problems with the device began almost as soon as I powered it on and went through the setup process. The older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 was really showing its age. Software took longer to load than I am used to, and sometimes I had to swipe away an app and then relaunch it to get it to work. I've used plenty of devices with the 8 Gen 3, and that was a fast chip, so I'm not sure what the issue was with the Redmagic 10 Air. But it gave me problems from the get-go. The phone comes preloaded with Google apps and little else (I appreciate the lack of bloatware on Redmagic devices). So I loaded all my usual go-to apps when I was first setting up the device: Firefox, Fastmail, Obsidian, ToDoist, VLC. The device did not like that. Opening and using these apps was a headache. They were laggy, and Obsidian in particular never fully loaded, an issue, I assumed, with its on-device storage system. In the end, I had to remove all of these apps and use only the pre-installed Google apps. At least they worked. That said, gaming was never an issue. The CPU never gave me an issue once I was in a game. Many of the problems I faced had to do with launching apps, and I don't know why. I thought it could be an issue with its cores, so I ran a Geekbench 6 test on it. It scored 2293 in single-core performance and 7203 in multicore. Those were great scores, so the issue wasn't there. I still cannot pinpoint what was causing so many problems with third-party apps. But performance was not my biggest complaint — the in-screen fingerprint reader was. It never worked. Not once did it ever manage to read my fingerprint and unlock the device, even after a few tries. Eventually, I got in the habit of using a four-digit password to unlock it, like it was 2014 or something. The cameras on this device are not great. It has a 50MP main shooter and a 50MP wide-angle shooter. They work for still shots at close range, which is good enough to capture memories when needed. But zooming in on a subject turns the photo into a pixelated mess, and while video is fine at 1x and 2x zoom, anything else becomes unwatchable. But this device isn't for photographers. I think I figured out who it is for. The Redmagic 10 Air is not meant for hardcore gamers. It's not meant for professionals on the go or camera jocks. And because it costs more than the Redmagic 10 Pro, at least at launch, I don't believe it's meant for the budget-conscious market, either. Instead, I think I found the perfect customer for this device: older kids. Think about it. It comes with everything a teen or tween needs. Google's software suite is built right in. It handles gaming wonderfully. The cameras are good enough for the crazy way kids take pictures, and the speakers are perfect for YouTube. Best of all, it fits in slightly smaller hands. Plus, it won't break the bank for those working part-time (or their parents).
