Google Pixel 10 and 10 Pro Fold announced with Tensor G5 and bigger batteries

After months of leaks and teasers, Google has officially lifted the curtain on its Pixel 10 lineup. The event in Brooklyn, New York, brought big news: four new phones, including the Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the headline grabber — the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

This is not just another annual refresh. Google is finally pushing its base Pixel into flagship territory, while the Fold takes another step toward maturity.

For years, the standard Pixel models have lagged behind their Pro siblings when it came to cameras. That changes today.

The Google Pixel 10 carries three rear sensors: a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultrawide, and a 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom. The front gets a 10.5MP selfie shooter with autofocus.

It’s not all upgrades, though. The ultrawide is actually a step down compared to the Pixel 9. Still, the telephoto lens feels like a major addition that makes the base model more complete.

Google’s Tensor G5 chip powers the new phone, built on TSMC’s efficient 3nm process.

Paired with the Titan M2 chip, 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage, it promises smoother performance and faster app loads.

The 6.3-inch Actua display hits 120Hz at Full HD+ resolution. It can now crank up to 2,000 nits in high brightness mode.

This should make outdoor use easier than ever. Also, the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 still covers the screen for added durability.

The Google Pixel 10 gets a slight bump in battery life, packing a 4,970mAh cell. It supports wired charging rated at 29W, while wireless charging supports the new Qi2 standard at 15W.

This is nothing close to what other Android devices have, but it is compatible with Google’s new Pixelsnap accessories.

Out of the box, the phone runs Android 16, and as always, Google promises seven years of software and security updates.

The Google Pixel 10 is available in Indigo, Frost, Lemongrass, and Obsidian, starting at $799 for the 128GB model and $899 for the 256GB model.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold grabbed plenty of attention, too. Its main folding OLED screen measures 8 inches (2076x2156 LTPO OLED), while the outer cover display grows to 6.4 inches (1080x2364 LTPS OLED).

Both panels support a 120Hz refresh rate and hit a massive 3,000 nits peak brightness, making them among the brightest foldable displays on the market.

It runs on the same Tensor G5 chip, backed by 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.

The cameras include a 48MP main, 10.5MP ultrawide, and 10.8MP telephoto lens, plus two 10MP selfie cameras, one for each screen.

To keep its lights on, the battery jumps to 5,015mAh, with 30W wired and 15W Qi2 wireless charging. A wired half-charge takes just 30 minutes.

The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold weighs 258g, is IP68-rated, and comes in Moonstone or Jade. It starts at $1,799 for 256GB of storage and will be officially available from October 9.

The Google Pixel 10 series feels like a turning point. The base model finally delivers a complete flagship package, while the Fold takes a meaningful step forward with real-world improvements.

This year, Google isn’t just catching up, it’s playing to win.
