Alongside the Pixel 10, Google revealed the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL at its Made By Google event today. On paper, it appears that not much has changed with the Pixel 10 Pro’s hardware compared to last year’s models—but that’s a good thing. Google’s signature camera visor, slightly curved edges, minimal bezel, and an IP68 dust- and water-resistant body with an aluminum frame and polished finish. The Pixel 9 Pro models were excellent Android phones, but I wasn’t a fan of their temperature sensor and Video Boost, which carry over to the Pixel 10 Pro phones.
The Pixel 10 Pro has a 6.3-inch OLED screen with 1280 x 2856 resolution and a variable 1-120 Hz refresh rate, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL has a 6.8-inch OLED screen with 1344 x 2992 resolution and a variable 1-120 Hz refresh rate. Both Pixel 10 Pro models can achieve up to 3,300 nits of peak outdoor brightness—an increase from the Pixel 9 Pro’s 3,000 nits. Both Pixel 10 Pro models are using the latest Tensor G5 CPU and have 16 GB of RAM. The 10 Pro has 128GB or 256GB storage options, while the 10 Pro XL gets an upgrade to 256 GB base storage, along with 512 GB and 1 TB storage options.
Like the Pixel 10, the Pro and Pro XL are eSIM-only.
Both Pixel 10 Pro models are equipped with the same shooters as their predecessors, with an f/1.6 50MP main wide camera, an f/1.7 48MP ultrawide, an f/2.8 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, and an f/2.2 42MP selfie camera with autofocus. Both continue to capture 10-bit HDR video, 8K video up to 30fps via Video Boost, Night Sight Video, and slow-motion video up to 240fps. However, thanks to its new Tensor G5 chip, the Pixel 10 Pro models offer new camera features like High-Res Portrait mode (up to 50MP) and Pro Res Zoom up to 100x with AI.
The Pixel 10 Pro has a 4,870 mAh battery, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL has a 5,200 mAh battery, both of which Google quotes as achieving over 30 hours of juice on a single charge and up to 100-hour with Extreme Battery Saver turned on, and like every other Pixel 10 model, it will support Google’s MagSafe-like PixelSnap magnetic charging. The 10 Pro offers fast charging of up to 55% in 30 minutes with a 30W charger, featuring Qi2 15W Pixelsnap speeds. Meanwhile, the 10 Pro XL provides fast charging of up to 70% in 30 minutes using a 45W charger with Qi2.2 25W Pixelsnap speeds.
The 2025 Pixel phones will also run Android 16 and include 7 years of security, OS, and Pixel Drop software updates. Exclusive to the Pixel 10 Pro models is a one-year subscription to Google’s AI Pro plan, which includes Gemini Pro, NotebookLM, Gemini in Gmail and Docs, and access to Veo 3 Fast in Gemini to create videos using our text-to-video generation model.
All of the Pixel 10 series adds new features like Magic Cue, which uses AI to suggest relevant information for pasting or sharing, like flight or hotel details; Daily Hub acts as a summary of your day with weather for the day, reminders, calendar events, and recommended playlists; Camera Coach, which uses AI to suggest ways to capture better photos; Pixel Journal is a similar to Apple’s version, as it’s private app to jot down notes, thoughts, drawings, bookmarks, etc.; the Take a Message feature within Call Screen can provide transcripts for missed or rejected calls in real-time; the Recorder app adds a music option, which allows you to capture vocals over pre-loaded music; Auto Best Take, which automatically grabs multiple pics for the best faces from your subjects; Edit with Ask Photos allows Gemini to edit select photos for you and Voice Translate during phone calls, which translates to or from English with Spanish, German, Japanese, French, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Russian, and Indonesian.
The 6.3-inch Google Pixel 10 Pro will start at $1,000 for the 128GB option, and the 6.8-inch Pixel 10 Pro XL will start at $1,200 for the 256GB storage option. Both will arrive in Obsidian, Moonstone, Porcelain, and Jade color options. Pre-orders for both versions of the 10 Pro start today and will go on sale on August 28.
