Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 family on August 20, and ahead of that today what is purported to be a Pixel 10 Pro prototype has been leaked in some live images courtesy of a listing on a Chinese auction site, where one enterprising soul wants to make some money by selling it. The Pixel 10 Pro looks pretty much just like its predecessor from last year, as you can see, with the same oval-shaped metal camera island. There isn't much else we can ascertain from these images.

You don’t see iPhone discounts often, but this week the entire 16 series is on sale – including the 16e. On the other side of the iOS/Android divide, the Pixels are on sale too. The Apple iPhone 16e serves as the “cheap” iPhone after the SE series was discontinued. We put it in quotes since it’s not that cheap – but having a €100 discount helps. You do lose quite a few features compared to the vanilla 16, though – here is a detailed iPhone 16e vs. iPhone 16 comparison. Apple iPhone 16e €100/€87/€80 off ...
Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series next month, and although the Mountain View-based internet search giant hasn't divulged any details about the lineup yet, CAD-based renders that leaked in March revealed what the Pixel 10 series smartphones would look like. The same source has now shared specs of the Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, leaving little to the imagination. Let's talk about what's common between the two Pro models first. The Google Pixel 10 Pro and Google Pixel 10 Pro XL are both powered by the Tensor G5 SoC and feature the same set of cameras - 50MP...
Google just lost the right to sell its Google Pixel 7 series after a recent patent dispute with Korean mobile phone company Pantech. According to a district court in Japan, Google was found guilty of infringing a patent related to LTE connectivity. Pantech filed a lawsuit against Google, arguing that the tech giant used the exact same technology described in a patent belonging to Pantech. The patent relates to how the LTE modem in Pixel phones communicates with the cell towers. The patent, however, wasn't licensed under fair and reasonable conditions. As a result, the Tokyo court...
The Pixel 9 smartphones launched last year came with upgraded biometrics as Google switched some models from an optical fingerprint scanner to an ultrasonic type. The upcoming Pixel 10 series will continue to feature ultrasonic fingerprint readers, but they will be better than the ones we have on the Pixel 9 series. According to a report by Android Headlines, the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on the Google Pixel 10 series will be "faster than before." The publication doesn't tell us the supplier of this upgraded ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, but regardless, it should improve the...
Google is expected to announce the Pixel 10 series of smartphones on August 20. Today a new leak tells us that the phones' telephoto camera is getting a new feature: the ability to take macro shots. Thus, it will be a tele-macro. Interestingly, Google reportedly plans to continue fitting its Pixels with ultrawide cameras with autofocus - which means the ultrawides will continue to have macro abilities of their own. The ultrawides will be able to focus closer than the telephotos, so you'll get a choice between using the ultrawide or the telephoto for close-up shots but it's not really a...
With the Google Pixel 9a having launched a few months ago and the Google Pixel 9 hitting shelves nearly a year back, a common dilemma arises—should you opt for the newer mid-range model or stick with last year’s flagship? It’s a valid question, especially given their similar pricing and shared DNA. In Europe, the Pixel 9 costs about €100 more than the 9a, while in the US, the gap widens to $150. On paper, the two phones have a lot in common—identical displays, matching chipsets, and comparable camera setups. But look a little closer, and a few key differences emerge. For some, they may...
Google's expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series on August 20, and based on the leaks we've seen so far, these will look almost identical to their predecessors from 2024. But the company is going to pack them with some very interesting updates on the inside - the Tensor G5 chipset will be the first one made by TSMC and not Samsung, which should improve performance and battery life; gimbal-like camera stabilization seems to be in too. And also magnets. A new report claims the Pixel 10 devices will support Qi 2.2 wireless charging with magnets built into the phones themselves, just like Apple...
The Google Pixel 10 series is rumored to use mostly the same camera sensors as the Pixel 9 lineup, with the vanilla model rumored to get a telephoto unit. A new report now claims that the Pixel 10 series will "debut heavily upgraded image stabilization." The word comes from the folks at Android Headlines, who said the experience will be like "using a Pixel 10 on a DJI Osmo Mobile 6, but without that gimbal" because "that's how good this new image stabilization is going to be."
