Google Teases Pixel 10 Pro Design Ahead of August 20 Launch
Google offered a first glimpse of the Pixel 10 Pro in a 13‑second teaser published today on its online store, ahead of its official reveal at the “Made by Google” event in New York on August 20.
The video opens with a dark silhouette of the number “10,” then coalesces into the back of the Pixel 10 Pro. It features a muted gray‑blue finish (likely the “Moonstone” shade) and the familiar pill‑shaped camera bar. The clip confirms a triple‑camera setup including a flash and a temperature sensor, a feature first seen on the Pixel 8 Pro. Frame edges appear polished metal, consistent with previous models.
The teaser coincides with Google’s announcement of a preorder promotion. Shoppers who register for the Google Store newsletter before August 18 (or August 19 in India) will receive a launch‑day discount code, valid between August 20 and September 4.
Leaks and analyst reports suggest the Pixel 10 Pro will include the Tensor G5 chipset built on TSMC’s 3‑nanometer process, likely paired with 16 GB of RAM.
The display is expected to be a 6.3‑inch LTPO OLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, peak brightness of 3000 nits, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.
Battery capacity should be around 4870 mAh, supporting 29 W wired and 15 W wireless charging; a larger 6.8‑inch Pro XL model is expected to include a 5200 mAh battery and 39 W charging.
Camera specifications appear to remain consistent with the Pixel 9 Pro’s configuration: a 50 MP main sensor, 48 MP ultra‑wide lens, and a 48 MP telephoto lens on the Pro XL. The standard Pro model may retain a 42 MP front‑facing camera. Rumors from a leaked production shoot in Vancouver suggest there could be up to seven color options, including Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, Limoncello, Green, Sterling, and Porcelain with most leaks suggesting that the Pixel 10 will come with at least these 4 colors for sure like the Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone, and Jade.
Industry observers note that Google’s decision to reveal the design so early is a strategic way to control the narrative after frequent leaks. TrustedReviews pointed out that the move confirms the familiar aesthetic from previous leaks, including the pill camera bar and blue‑gray finish but questions whether this preemptive reveal dilutes excitement.
Video production footage captured on a public Vancouver beach showed the Pixel 10 in use, inadvertently revealing its styling and hinting at fresh AI‑powered features. Google has confirmed additional devices including new Pixel Watch and buds that will be unveiled alongside Pixel 10 at the August event.
Google’s announcement leaves key questions unanswered: precise camera capabilities, pricing, availability in various markets, and the full range of AI enhancements. Clarity is expected at the New York launch.
The teaser positions the Pixel 10 Pro as a familiar yet refined successor to the Pixel 9 Pro. The addition of the temperature sensor and triple‐camera setup, combined with the promotional offer, give early buyers reason to stay alert ahead of the August event.
