CAD Designs Reveal Triple Camera Setup for Google Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL
The Google Pixel 10 series is set to unveil a new evolution of Google’s smartphone “visor” design, resembling the Pixel 9 line. Recently, CAD-based images created by renowned sources like @OnLeaks and Android Headlines provide a glimpse of the upcoming models. Although there are currently no design renders for a new Pixel Fold, the three standard models do not appear to have any major surprises.
The Google Pixel 10 will feature a 6.3-inch screen, maintaining the same physical dimensions of 152.8 x 72.0 x 8.6mm, and an additional 3.4mm for the camera module. These specifications indicate that the dimensions are nearly identical to those of the Pixel 9. However, there is a slight increase in thickness by 0.1mm, which may result from variations in manufacturing or design adjustments, likely involving minor elements such as the back glass.
One notable enhancement in the Pixel 10 is the addition of a third camera lens on the visor, an essential feature that differentiated the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro. The details regarding the camera specifications for each model remain unclear, but the basic version may not include advanced camera hardware. It seems that exclusive features, such as the thermometer sensor, will only be available on the Pro versions, which may be a minor drawback for the standard model.
Next, the Google Pixel 10 Pro shares the same dimensions as the Pixel 10, meaning it too is 0.1mm thicker than the previous 9 Pro model.
While both models have a 6.3-inch display, their resolutions likely differ. The standard Pixel 10 may have a resolution just above 1080p, while the Pro version might offer a 1280p+ experience.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL will measure 162.7 x 76.6 x 8.5mm, meaning it is 0.1mm shorter than the Pixel 9 Pro XL while maintaining the same thickness. It continues to sport a 6.8-inch display like last year’s device.
Interestingly, the mid-frame of the Pixel 10 is matte, contrasting with the glossy finish on the two Pro models, a trend that was also visible in the predecessor Pixel 9 series. This glossy appearance has become synonymous with premium devices in the smartphone market.
As for performance, the Pixel 10 series will be powered by a new Tensor G5 chipset. This represents more than just slight improvements; it marks Google’s first chipset developed by TSMC rather than Samsung, likely in collaboration with MediaTek. One significant enhancement could be the ability to record 4K video at 60fps with HDR, a step up from the previous 4K at 30fps.
Additionally, a new Pixel Sense assistant is expected to debut with the Pixel 10 series. In terms of release timing, rumors suggest that the device might hit the market sooner than anticipated, coinciding with the Android 16 launch, which is slated between April and June. This could position the Pixel 10’s launch in August, similar to previous releases that have typically been in October.
