It is almost identical in form factor to the Google Pixel 9 with an 8.6mm (8.5mm on Pixel 9) thickness. However, the smartphone is heavier at 204 grams compared to the Pixel 9's 198 grams.

The biggest highlight of the Pixel 10 is the extended camera bar, which is now home to a triple camera setup. It is now home to a new 10.8 MP 5x periscope telephoto lens. Apart from that, just like the Pixel 9, the device features a 48 MP main sensor with support for Auto Focus and OIS, a 13 MP ultra-wide angle camera with a 120° field of view.    

At the front, there is the same 10.5 MP selfie shooter with support for Auto Focus as seen on the predecessor. Both the front and the rear cameras can shoot up to 4K videos at 60 FPS.

Under the hood, there is the latest Google-made silicon, the Tensor G5 processor compared to the Tensor G4 on the Pixel 9. It is a TSMC-fabricated 3nm SoC which is paired with 12 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. 

 The smartphone ships with Android 16 out of the box with several new AI-first features like 20x Super Res Zoom, Pixel Studio, Magic Blur, Magic Cue, Google Gemini and a lot more. Google is promising 7 years of software and security updates with the Pixel 10 smartphone.

The chipset is complemented with a 4,970mAh battery with 29W USB-C charging support and 15W Qi2 wireless charging protocol.

Google Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL Specifications and Features

And just like the base Pixel 10, here as well, the panel is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and can reach up to 3,300 nits of peak brightness (up from 3,000 nits on the Pixel 9 Pros).

Talking about the cameras, we get the same familiar horizontal camera bar with both the smartphones. It houses the triple rear camera setup along with an LED flash and a temperature sensor.

Both phones feature identical camera specs with a 50 MP primary sensor, a 48 MP ultra-wide angle lens and a 48 MP 5x periscope telephoto camera. Even the selfie camera on both smartphones are identical, with the same 42 MP shooter.

If this setup looks familiar, this is because the Pixel 9 Pro and the 9 Pro XL both sported the exact camera configurations.

Performance-wise, both smartphones draw their power from the Tensor G5 processor (up from the Tensor G4 on the Google Pixel 9 Pro and the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL) same as that of the Pixel 10. Google is offering 16 GB of RAM by default with the Pixel 10 Pro models with 256 GB of storage.
