Pixel 10 Series Battery Leak Reveals Bigger Capacity and Better Durability

Google's Pixel 10 series is just days away from going official and now, a fresh leak has given us a closer look at the battery capacities of the upcoming flagships. From the looks of it, all the phones will get a battery capacity increment of anywhere between 100mAh to 200mAh. 

Tech publication YTechB spotted documents in the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL) certification site that suggest that the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are getting a slight bump in battery size as compared to last year's Pixel 9 series. 

Starting off with the standard Pixel 10, the battery capacity will go up from 4,700mAh to 4,970mAh, which is said to last 49 hours and 23 minutes. 

Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro is said to pack a bigger 4,870mAh battery that may last 51 hours and 9 minutes as compared to the Pixel 9 Pro's 4,700mAh unit.

Finally, the leak suggests that the Pixel 10 Pro XL will go from a 5,060mAh to a 5,200mAh battery capacity and possibly last 48 hours and 39 minutes.

However, raw endurance improvements will ultimately depend on how Google optimises the software and the new Tensor G5 chipset on the phones. The leak, if true, could certainly help offset the demands of upgraded hardware, even if by a bit. 

Additionally, the leak also points to stronger durability credentials of the Pixel 10 series, reportedly passing 270 free-fall drop tests. The phones are also reportedly shown to retain battery performance after 1,000 charge cycles.

Repairability ratings have also apparently improved for the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL, moving up from a "C" to a "B" rating. However, somehow, the regular Pixel 10's durability rating has dropped from an "A" to a "B".

It's good to finally get some clarity on the battery details of the device since most of the other Pixel 10 series specs and design have already surfaced online. 

Google will officially launch the Pixel 10 series on August 20, 2025, which will also include the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. So, we won't have to wait long to know the confirmed specifications of the devices.
