Pixel 10 series: Planning to buy Google Pixel 9? 3 reasons you should wait
Ahead of the Pixel 10 series launch next month, Google is offering discounts and promotional deals on its current Pixel 9 lineup. The base Pixel 9, for example, is now listed at Rs 69,999 on the Google Store online in India, down from its launch price of Rs 79,999. With the Pixel 10 series debut around the corner, should you consider waiting for the upcoming line-up or go with one of the models in the Pixel 9 series? Let us begin with what is expected from the Pixel 10 series. Google Pixel 10 series: Global launch Event: Made by Google Date: August 20, 2025 Time: 10:30 pm (IST) Livestream: YouTube Google Pixel 10 series: India launch Date: August 21, 2025 Google Pixel 10 series: What to expect Performance: The Pixel 10 is likely to feature the next-generation Google Tensor G5 chip. Built using TSMC's 3nm fabrication process, this marks a transition away from Samsung Foundry and is expected to bring gains in both speed and power efficiency. A notable change in the G5 could be Google's adoption of a GPU from Imagination Technologies—specifically the IMG DXT—replacing the Arm Mali-G715 MP7 used in the Tensor G4. Another important update may be a fully custom image signal processor (ISP), moving away from the semi-custom ISPs used in previous versions. This could lead to improved photo processing and overall camera performance. Camera: The Google Pixel 10 may become the first base model in the series to offer a telephoto lens. According to reports, this telephoto camera could be the same one used in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, supporting 5x optical zoom. This would enhance the base model's camera capabilities, offering better zoom, improved portrait photos, and enhanced macro performance. In addition to the new telephoto lens, Google is expected to update the main and ultra-wide sensors on the Pixel 10. The primary sensor is likely to be a 50MP Samsung GN8, the same used in the Pixel 9a. Last year's Pixel 9 featured the 50MP Samsung GNV sensor, also found in the Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL. The ultra-wide sensor may shift from the 48MP Sony IMX858 used in the Pixel 9 to a 13MP Sony IMX712. Although this may seem like a downgrade, the real-world image quality may improve thanks to the expected fully custom ISP on the Tensor G5 chip. Qi2 wireless charging support: The Pixel 10 series, including the standard model, is expected to support the Qi2 wireless charging standard. This means magnetic alignment-based wireless charging would be possible when paired with compatible accessories. Google may even skip the baseline Qi2 spec in favor of the upgraded Qi2 25W standard, which offers faster charging speeds. In addition to the phones themselves, Google is also said to be preparing a new accessory ecosystem under the 'Pixelsnap' name, which may include custom cases and magnetic wireless chargers. Google Pixel 9 series: Offers on Google Store Launch price: Rs 79,999 Google Store discount: Rs 10,000 No-interest EMI: Up to 24 months Bank offers: cashback of up to Rs 7000 on EMI Pixel 9 Pro: Launch price: Rs 109,999 Google Store discount: Rs 10,000 No-interest EMI: Up to 24 months Bank offers: cashback of up to Rs 10,000 on EMI Pixel 9 Pro XL: Launch price: Rs 124,999 Google Store discount: Rs 10,000 No-interest EMI: Up to 24 months Bank offers: cashback of up to Rs 10,000 on EMI Pixel 9 Pro Fold: Launch price: Rs 172,999 Google Store discount: Rs 10,000 No-interest EMI: Up to 24 months Bank offers: cashback of up to Rs 10,000 on EMI

Leaked Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL specs will make you wonder why bother with an upgrade this year
We've all seen smartphone manufacturers rehash their high-end designs multiple years in a row while leaving many key specs largely unchanged as well, but at first glance, what Google is reportedly preparing to do with the Pixel 10 family might be (almost) completely unprecedented. Essentially rendered as carbon copies of their predecessors more than three whole months ago, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are today getting (nearly) comprehensive spec sheets that look oddly familiar... to say the least. Granted, the information leaked by Android Headlines is by no means official or final, but given the typical credibility of that source, you can pretty much take all the following details and numbers to the bank. 6.3-inch OLED display with 2856 x 1280 pixel resolution, up to 3,000 nits of brightness, and 120Hz refresh rate technology; Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 screen protection; Google Tensor G5 SoC; 16GB RAM; 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage variants; 50MP primary rear-facing camera; 48MP secondary ultra-wide-angle lens; 48MP tertiary telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom; 42MP front-facing camera; 4,870mAh battery; 29W wired and 15W wireless charging support. What's the biggest upgrade Google's next compact powerhouse is expected to bring to the table over last year's 6.3-inch Pixel 9 Pro ? Without a doubt, a brand spanking new Tensor G5 chipset. Yes, the Pixel 10 Pro looks virtually identical to the 9 Pro in this leak from a while back. But no matter how fast the TSMC-manufactured processor (based on 3nm technology) will prove in real-life use compared to the Tensor G4 (which Google developed in collaboration with Samsung leveraging older 4-nanometer tech), that feels like a disappointingly... mundane key selling point for a new Android flagship. Mobile phones improve the raw power of their forerunners with every new generation, so even the most devoted Google fans might need something extra to be convinced of the Pixel 10 Pro 's value. Unfortunately, that something is probably not a 4,870mAh battery, which is only ever so slightly larger than the 4,700mAh cell inside the Pixel 9 Pro . The wired charging speeds are also barely expected to be improved (from 27 to 29 watts), while the resolution of all three cameras and the 6.3-inch screen will almost certainly go totally unchanged. Of course, the imaging sensors themselves might be upgraded in ways that are not always obvious simply by looking at specifications like the ones listed above, so let's wait and hope for the best before criticizing Google too harshly. 6.8-inch OLED screen with 2992 x 1344 pixel resolution, up to 3,000 nits of brightness, and 120Hz refresh rate support; Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2; Google Tensor G5; 16GB RAM; 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options; 50 + 48 + 48MP triple rear-facing camera system; 42MP front-facing camera; 5,200mAh battery; 39W wired and 15W wireless charging capabilities. The Pixel 10 Pro XL doesn't look very different from the 9 Pro XL either. Unlike the Pixel 10 Pro , which is expected to start at the same $999 point as the Pixel 9 Pro with the same 128 gigs of internal storage space, the Pixel 10 Pro XL could cost $1,199 instead of $1,099 in an entry-level configuration with 256GB local digital hoarding room instead of 128GB. That's unlikely to be received well by many prospective buyers when you consider all the far-too-familiar other specs listed above, the marginal wired charging support bump from 37 to 39W, and a slightly bigger but not that important battery capacity improvement from 5,060 to 5,200mAh.
