The Google Pixel 10 is officially here, representing one of the most significant upgrades in the history of the product line. It’s not just an iterative update; it’s a major leap forward in performance, camera hardware, and long-term value.
This is your complete, definitive guide to the Google Pixel 10. Here is everything you need to know about Google’s ambitious new flagship smartphone.
Design & Display: A Fluid, Premium Experience
The Pixel 10 is built around a vibrant 6.3-inch Actua display, a bright, high-resolution screen with a fluid 120Hz refresh rate. This upgrade provides exceptionally smooth scrolling and animations, enhancing every interaction. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and the phone is available in four colors: Indigo, Frost, Lemongrass, and Obsidian.
Camera System: A Pro-Level Leap
For the first time, the standard Pixel moves into true flagship camera territory with a versatile, triple-lens system.
- 48 MP Main Camera: Captures incredible detail and low-light performance.
- 13 MP Ultrawide Camera: For expansive landscapes and group photos.
- 10.8 MP 5x Telephoto Camera: A game-changing hardware addition that allows for crisp optical zoom, bringing it into direct competition with pro-grade camera phones.
This new hardware, combined with Google’s industry-leading AI software like Magic Eraser and the new Pixel Studio, creates the most powerful and versatile camera system ever in a Pixel.
Performance: The Tensor G5 AI Engine
At the core of the Pixel 10 is the next-generation Google Tensor G5 chip. Custom-built for AI, the G5 works with the Titan M2 security coprocessor to power advanced on-device machine learning. This enables more complex and faster Gemini Nano features, making tools like Live Translate and photo editing feel instantaneous, all while keeping your data secure on the device.
The ‘Pixel Snap’ Ecosystem: MagSafe Arrives on Pixel
In a landmark hardware addition, the Pixel 10 officially introduces “Pixel Snap,” a built-in magnetic system fully compatible with the MagSafe standard. This allows users to securely snap on a new ecosystem of accessories, including chargers, wallets, battery packs, and mounts, providing a level of convenience previously unavailable on Pixel devices.
Software & Longevity: The 7-Year Update Promise
Arguably the most important feature is Google’s unprecedented commitment to longevity. The Pixel 10 is guaranteed to receive 7 years of full OS, security, and Feature Drop updates. This promise directly challenges the industry’s traditional 2-3 year upgrade cycle and positions the Pixel 10 as a market leader in sustainable technology and long-term value, ensuring it will receive new features until 2032.
Pricing and Availability
Pre-orders are open now, with general availability beginning on August 28, 2025.
The Google Pixel 10 starts at $999 CAD / $699 USD for the 128GB model.
