Google Pixel 10 series: The wait is almost about. The much-awaited Pixel 10 model by Google will have its ultimate launch, and the leaks that are occurring only days before the expected announcement have set the imagination at rest. Whether they bring their daring new colours, new hardware or special deals, we are yet to see everything.
Launch Timeline – Mark Your Calendar
The Pixel 10 family will be displayed commercially by Google during its worldwide Made by Google event on 20 August 2025. It will do not take long before Indian buyers will be ready to make the purchase as in this country sales will be launched immediately after the next day, 21 August 2025.
Google is sweetening the deal to the early adopters esp.; anyone who signs up as a Google Store subscriber before 19 August 12:30 PM IST will get a special promotional offer when pre-orders open. This deal will be applicable to Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL the Pixel 10 Pro Fold comes in a few months after.
Fresh Colours Across the Line-up
This year Google Pixel 10 series is mixing up its design language presenting greater ranges of finishing:
- Pixel 10 – obsidian (classic black), indigo (deep blue), frost (cool grey/white), Limoncello (bright yellow)
- The Pixel 10 Pro are rumoured to consist of Obsidian, a porcelain definitive white, Moonstone (blue-grey) and a Jade variant has been mentioned.
- Pixel 10 Pro XL – All Pro tones and made with the addition of Jade with details of brass to add premium accent
The new colouring’s add a cool touch to the Pixel line-up, but do not undermine the minimalist style of Google.
Under the Hood – Specs & Features
It is suggested that the Google Pixel 10 series range will usher in Google Tensor G5 with a chip built on the TSMC-developed 3 nm technology. This translates to improved speeds, increased efficiencies, and state of the art AI processing.
Among the improvement will be:
- The base Pixel 10 has triple-camera installation- a first in an entry model. Expect ultra-wide, wide and a new telephoto lens with optical zoom up to 5x.
- All models have 120 Hz LTPO OLED panels with the maximum brightness of about 3,000 nits.
- Improved battery capacity — around 4,970 mAh for the Pixel 10 and over 5,000 mAh for the Pro XL, promising over 24 hours of use.
- Qi2 magnetic wireless charging via Google’s new “Pixelsnap” system.
- Android 16 out of the box, with AI-driven tools like Camera Coach, Speak-to-Tweak, and Pixel Sense for more intuitive photo, video, and voice control.

Expected Launch Offers in India
Google is sending out early commitment rewards. By 19 August 2025, 12:30 PM IST, register as a Google Store member and use this special pre-order/launch offer code an exclusive promo code on day one of launching. This may be used in the pre-ordering of the Pixel 10, pixel 10 Pro, or pixel 10 Pro XL in the official shop. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will come a little bit later, perhaps as an independent proposal.
Final Takeaway
Through the leaks, it is apparent that Google is now reducing the breadth between the base and the Pro devices. The traditional Pixel 10 is no longer a lite model, it now has triple cameras, a high brightness OLED, and the same super-modern Tensor G5 chip as its larger brothers.
The Pro models are targeted on power users and content creators, and the Pro XL is experimenting with RAM, storage and zoom limits. Throw in some pops of bright colours and Google expanding their AI ecosystem, and Pixel 10 lineup may be one of the most influential launches of smartphones in 2025.
