Google has finally confirmed that its new flagship smartphone lineup—the Google Pixel 10 series—will be officially launched on 20 August 2025. This time the company is bringing not one but 4 new phones: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and, for the first time, Pixel 10 Pro Fold as a foldable phone.
Pre-orders for these phones will start on the day of launch, and shipping will start on 28 August 2025. This time Pixel phones are getting major upgrades—a new Tensor G5 chip, a brighter display, AI-powered camera features, and Android 16 out-of-the-box.
Let’s know in detail what all new is going to be available in the Google Pixel 10 series.
Google Pixel 10 Series: New Look, New Power
The Pixel 10 series is the next big step in Google’s smartphone journey. This time the company has launched 4 different models so that there is a perfect phone for every type of user—whether you want a compact phone, a powerful flagship, or a foldable device.
All the models will run on Android 16, and inside will be Google’s own latest Tensor G5 processor, which is made on a 3 nm process. This means better speed, battery efficiency, and multitasking. AI features have been made more powerful, which has made the phone even smarter.
Pixel 10: Starting with big tags—expected price ₹66,000
The price of the base model Pixel 10 in India can be around ₹66,000 for the 128GB version. The 256GB variant can be around ₹74,000. Design-wise it is equal to the Pro model—this means the protective cases of both the phones will also be the same.
Now Pixel 10 also has a telephoto lens, which was previously only available in Pro models. Its display brightness is also top-class—2,250 nits HDR brightness, which makes it possible to see the screen clearly even in sunlight.
And as a bonus, Google is giving 6 months free of Google AI Pro, Fitbit Premium, and YouTube Premium—a great deal!
Pixel 10 Pro: Power-Packed Flagship – Expected Price ₹82,000
If you want top performance and camera quality, then the Pixel 10 Pro is perfect. Its price starts from approx. ₹82,000 (128GB) and goes up to ₹120,000 for 1TB.
It has the same Tensor G5 chip, but you get more RAM, premium build quality, and a next-level camera experience. Its AI-enhanced photography feature lets you take super-stable videos and sharp photos even without a tripod.
Screen brightness is also 2,250 nits, so visuals appear crisp and vibrant both indoors and outdoors. Google is also offering a 1-yearfree Google AI Pro subscription to Pro users.
Pixel 10 Pro XL: Big Screen, Big Style
If you want a big display and flagship experience, then Pixel 10 Pro XL is the best option. Its base variant comes with 256GB storage—the expected price starts at ₹99,000, and the 1TB model goes up to ₹180,000.
In this you will get a big 6.8-inch display, which is perfect for video watching, gaming, and creative work. This phone is for those people who cannot work on a small screen.
Feature-wise, it is similar to the Pixel 10 Pro—same AI camera system, Tensor G5 chip, and Android 16—but along with the bigger screen, you will also get more battery.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Most Advanced Google Foldable
This year’s most exciting phone is the Pixel 10 Pro Fold—Google’s new foldable that offers IP68 water and dust resistance. This is the first time this feature has been given in a Pixel foldable.
It has a 6.4-inch outer screen, and inside you will get an 8-inch foldable display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 1600 nits peak brightness. Perfect for both work and entertainment.
Weight is approximately 258 grams, and thickness is 10.5 mm when folded and just 5.1 mm when open—quite a sleek design. Google has also made the hinge design compact and durable. This time the battery is also feeling big, which can improve the screen-on time further.
AI Features in all models—Smart as well as Stable
The biggest highlight of the Google Pixel 10 series is AI power. Now you can use a smart assistant even without the cloud, you get real-time translation, and the phone also does call screening itself.
The camera setup is mostly like Pixel 9, but the image quality and stabilization are much improved due to Tensor G5. In all models now you get cloud-level photo and video stabilization, without any external device.
New Pixel-Only Features with Android 16
All phones come with Android 16—which includes new UI animations, better app support, and improved security features. Along with this, Google has also added some exclusive Pixel-only features:
• AI-generated wallpapers
• Custom widgets
• Google Assistant deep integration
And if you have a Google AI Pro subscription, you also get more advanced tools for productivity, health, and entertainment—without any extra setup.
Google’s Strategy: One Pixel for Every User
Through the Google Pixel 10 series, the company is directly targeting Apple and Samsung. From compact phones to foldables, Google’s presence is visible in every segment.
Free services like YouTube Premium, Fitbit Premium, and AI Pro subscriptions add a lot of value to users—especially in the Indian market, where pricing and features are both important.
A Google spokesperson said:
“Pixel 10 is the smartest smartphone lineup we’ve ever built. Whether you’re into photography, AI tools, or foldable design, there’s a Pixel for you.”
Final Verdict: Is the Pixel 10 Series Worth It?
If you’re looking for a premium, AI-powered, and future-ready phone, the Google Pixel 10 series is definitely worth considering. Yes, the price may seem a bit high—especially for the Pro and Fold models—but the features it offers make it a strong competitor against the iPhone 16 and Galaxy Z Fold series.
Whether you want a compact phone, a big-screen productivity machine, or a foldable innovation—the Google Pixel 10 series has it all.
