The company is giving 25 Pixel Superfans a chance to attend its pre-launch event in London on June 27th, according to a message sent to Superfans on Friday. At its 'Pixel Penthouse,' Google will offer up a sneak peek at its next-gen devices and features, which will likely include the Pixel 10 and maybe even its new buds, smartwatch, and tablet, too.

The Pixel 10 lineup could launch sooner than we think thanks to a Google hint
In 2024, Google moved up its launch date for the Pixel 9 series from the usual October window to August. This year, an invite sent to members of the Google Pixel Superfans program hints at an even earlier look at the Pixel 10 lineup. The invite (spotted by Android Authority) was sent to the Superfans describing an event in late June where attendees will get a "sneak preview of our upcoming devices." Google's invitation asks Superfans to apply to win one of 25 slots to attend the event in London on June 27. The Superfans program is a free hype program set up by Google that Pixel owners can sign up for to get benefits and early news about Google's phones and wearables. No where does the company explicitly say the "Pixel 10" but it does say the "next Pixel line" and the header image shows a Pixel phone and watch. Unless Google has a surprise Pixel device launching soon, it's likely this will be a first look at the Pixel 10 series. As rule this year, Google has been pushing up release dates. Android 16 is also getting an earlier launch and the Pixel 9a debuted in March, way ahead of the May debut in 2024 of the Pixel 8a. So it's not out of the realm of possibility that Google is looking at a June or July release for the Pixel 10. Still, I am inclined to think July won't see a release since that will be it in direct competition with Samsung's foldable Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 phones. Samsung is also expected to release OneUI 8, its Android 16-based operating system, around that time. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Google has provided sneak peeks at hardware before, showing the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro at Google I/O 2022 in May, ahead of the fall launch of those two phones. This could be another super early look for Pixel mega fans ahead of the new August launch window. We'll know a bit more closer to the end of June when the sneak preview takes place.

Pixel Superfans invite hints at a shockingly early Pixel 10 launch
TL;DR Google is inviting Pixel Superfans to apply to attend a June 27 pre-launch Pixel event. Last year's Pixel 9 launch was in early September, following years of October launches. With Android 16 expected for early June, a late June/early July Pixel 10 launch feels plausible. If you're not already a big fan of Pixel smartphones, this is the year to start changing your tune. Google's move to having TSMC produce the Tensor G5 chip that will power its Pixel 10 series has the potential to be the most impactful change we've ever seen when it comes to Pixel performance. And we're already quite excited about Android 16, which is likely just days away from hitting stable. So with the software nearly here, when can we expect the hardware to arrive? We still don't have a precise date, but a new Google teaser has that launch looking like it's coming sooner rather than later. Google's Pixel Superfans program is exactly what it sounds like, and offers the most voracious Pixel enthusiasts a chance to feel closer to the action than many smartphone users could ever dream of. That means occasionally getting access to some exclusive events, and earlier today we became aware of a new message hitting the inboxes of Superfans: Google Google invites them to apply for a shot at winning one of 25 slots to attend a pre-release Pixel event scheduled for June 27. And while Google doesn't out and say 'Pixel 10' anywhere here, there's not really a long list of alternative devices we could be talking about. You may remember that most recent Pixel launches have taken place in early October, although last year saw Google slide things up considerably to the start of September for the Pixel 9 series. That seems to be a pattern that's continuing, from the early release of the first Android 16 previews, to the March launch of the Pixel 9a — two months ahead of the Pixel 8a's debut the year before. As such, it's not crazy to think about a late June/early July introduction of the Pixel 10 family. We'd been kicking around August as a possibility before, but based on what we're seeing today, it feels like Google's timetable could be even more advanced. Of course, it's possible that Google's coyness here could conceal a bigger secret, and maybe it really does have something that's not the Pixel 10 to show off. But based on the momentum we've witnessed over the past several months of Google sliding release schedules up earlier, the Pixel 10 is definitely the safe bet here. Hopefully we'll learn something a little more concrete as June gets started. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Google Pixel 10 series will keep this important connectivity feature despite modem swap
Google's upcoming Pixel 10 family will be using the Tensor G5 chipset, manufactured by TSMC, and since it's switching from Samsung's foundry, it will also switch modems. No more Exynos, the Pixel 10 devices are due to get the MediaTek T900. You may have been wondering whether the new modem would affect the next-gen Pixels' ability to connect to satellites, and the answer seems to be no, based on a new teardown of the Adaptive Connectivity Services app. Code in this app does reference Pixel 10 handsets (identified by previously matched codenames) having Satellite SOS capabilities, so it's all good on this front, nothing will change. In the code snippet above, GLBW0 is the Pixel 10, G4QUR is the Pixel 10 Pro, and GUL82 is the Pixel 10 Pro XL. While the Pixel 10 Pro Fold isn't listed here, that doesn't necessarily mean anything - it can always be added to the code later. According to a recent leak, the Pixel 10 will be offered in Obsidian, Blue, Iris, and Limoncello, while the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL will be available in Obsidian, Green, Sterling, and Porcelain.

Pixel 10 vs Pixel 8: Two years later, will a glow-up justify a jump-up?
Two years might not sound like a lot in the smartphone world, but trust me—when it comes to Pixels, it's enough time for Google to start asking you, 'Ready to upgrade yet?' With the Pixel 10 around the corner, the question is sharper than ever: Is it finally time to ditch that Pixel 8? The Pixel 8 was a safe bet—a solid performer with Google's vision of AI and clean Android baked in. But it also played things very safe. Tensor G3 wasn't exactly a powerhouse, the display was 60Hz short of perfect, and the dual-camera setup was showing its age. Now, enter Pixel 10 . With a custom-built Tensor G5, a rumored triple-camera system, and a whole new AI assistant, this isn't just the next Pixel. It's the one that might finally step out of the Pro's shadow and stand tall on its own. Let's dig in. Pixel 10 vs Pixel 9 expected differences: *Rumored Table of Contents: Design Display Performance Camera Battery Specs Summary At a glance, Pixel 10 doesn't stray far from the DNA introduced with the 6-series: that bold horizontal camera bar, clean lines, and subtle curves. But compared to the Pixel 8 , there's a bit more... intent. The Pixel 10 is expected to retain the dimensions of the Pixel 9 — around 152.8 x 72 x 8.6 mm, and close to 198g. That's kind of bigger than the Pixel 8 's more compact frame (150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm, 187g), but still comfortably in 'normal phone' territory. It's a subtle evolution in materials, too. Both phones are to use aluminum and Gorilla Glass Victus, though the Pixel 10 will likely get Victus 2. Color-wise, Google seems to be leaning into softer hues again — expect earthy or botanical tones like Peony and Wintergreen, where the Pixel 8 had playful picks like Rose and Hazel. Display Differences The Pixel 8 's 6.2-inch OLED display was good. 120Hz refresh? Nice. But brightness? Eh. It has been outdone in that department since it was released. The Pixel 10 is back in the game. It is expected to carry over the Pixel 9 's excellent 6.3-inch OLED panel, pushing over 2,700 nits peak brightness. HDR videos from YouTube, Instagram content, and your own library will look popping and vibrant even under direct sunlight. It is also to maintain the cleaner, more symmetrical bezels introduced last year. It's subtle stuff, but it adds polish. Face unlock returns, and this time we may actually get a proper ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the display—no more 'tap twice and hope.' Quite the upgrade for the $799 Pixel runt! If you're on a Pixel 8 , you've been living with the Tensor G3 — a chip that tried to be smart, not fast. And it showed. Performance was fine for day-to-day stuff, but gaming or heavy lifting? Not its strong suit. The Pixel 10 , though? We may see some gains!We're talking Tensor G5 — the first real Google-designed SoC, manufactured by TSMC on a 3nm process. This isn't just a refresh. It's a reboot. Hopeful reports point to serious efficiency gains and snappier performance, even if it still won't out-muscle the iPhone or Snapdragon as before, it's not about raw power. It's about on-device AI. And here, Google is pushing the envelope. The Pixel 10 will come with Pixel Sense — a smarter, more proactive assistant that doesn't just wait for commands, it acts. Think real-time summaries, calendar triage, message rewrites — all happening on-device, offline, and tailored to you. This is Google leaning fully into its software edge. Plus, the Pixel 10 will ship with Android 16 and a full seven years of updates. The Pixel 8 will also be eligible for Android 16 and still has 5 more updates to go before end-of-support. Let's be real: the Pixel 8 's dual camera setup — 50MP main and 12MP ultra-wide — was fine. Solid processing, great skin tones, smart HDR. But versatility? Limited. Pixel 10 might table the turns here and change what we expect from a "budget flagship". It's finally getting a triple-lens setup, with a 50MP main, 13MP ultra-wide, and — surprise — a dedicated telephoto lens, likely 3x. Either way, zoom is no longer just for the Pro crowd. It's a meaningful change. Suddenly, you're capturing distant shots without watching your pixels melt into watercolor. And, hopefully, portraits will look much better! Video is also catching up. We've heard about 4K60 with HDR, and maybe even Video Boost, previously a Pro exclusive. The Pixel 8 was never a video king — Pixel 10 may at least be a prince. Here's a quick breakdown of the camera specs: *Rumored The Pixel 8 shipped with a modest 4,575 mAh battery. The Pixel 10 is to bump that up slightly to 4,700 mAh, but the real gains should come from a more efficient G5 chip. In real-world terms? Expect something to the tune of an hour or two more screen-on time, especially when juggling maps, camera, and streaming. The Pixel 8 could make it through a day. Pixel 10 might do it with room to spare. Charging stays the same — 27W wired, 15W wireless. No Qi2 yet, and no massive leap in speed. But it gets the job done, and we'll take the battery life gains over gimmicky charging numbers any day. Here's a quick overview of the Pixel 10 vs Pixel 8 expected specs: *Rumored Let's not dance around it: If you're on a Pixel 8 and feeling the itch for better battery, a real zoom camera, brighter display, and actual AI magic — this is the upgrade you've been waiting for. If you've been content with the Pixel 8 's stable performance and mostly just shoot ultra-wide or main camera? You can probably hold off another year, unless Pixel Sense or the new chip calls your name. But make no mistake: Pixel 10 is the most complete base Pixel Google's ever made.
