Google Pixel 10 (10 Pro, XL, Fold) Leaks: Everything We Know So Far

 Hey, Pixel squad!

I’ve been a Pixel fanatic since the Nexus era, and the leaks for the Google Pixel 10 series have me buzzing for an upgrade. Slated for reveal at the Made by Google event on August 20, 2025, the lineup—Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold—promises a beastly Tensor G5 chip, AI-powered features, and a telephoto lens on the base model. I’ve fumbled my Pixel 9 Pro Fold one too many times (yep, I’m that clumsy), so I’m already eyeing Pixel 10 Pro cases from The Pixel Case to keep my next phone safe.

Drawing from X posts and tech leaks, here’s the full scoop on the Pixel 10 series—no external links, just pure Pixel hype!

Pixel 10 Series Launch and Release Rumors

The Pixel 10 series is expected to drop at Google’s August 20, 2025, event in New York City, with pre-orders kicking off the same day. Shipping and in-store availability should start by August 28, though the Pixel 10 Pro Fold might lag slightly, potentially hitting shelves in early September, similar to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s September 2024 release. A leaked Google Play Store banner showcasing all four models in vibrant colors like Moonstone and Indigo suggests Google’s ready to roll. Get launch-ready with Pixel 10 Pro screen protectors from The Pixel Case, boasting 9H hardness and free global shipping.

Leaked Design and Colors

The Pixel 10 series keeps Google’s signature pill-shaped camera bar and squared-off look, but leaks hint at refined designs. The Pixel 10 and 10 Pro are slightly thicker (0.1mm) and heavier (6–8g) than their Pixel 9 counterparts, while the 10 Pro XL gains 11g. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is narrower when folded and thicker when unfolded, weighing around 258g. Leaked color options are vibrant and sleek:

• Pixel 10: Obsidian (dark gray), Indigo (royal blue), Frost (light silver-blue), Limoncello (yellow-green).
• Pixel 10 Pro/XL: Obsidian, Porcelain (off-white), Jade (pale green), Moonstone (muted gray).
• Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Moonstone, Jade.

The Fold’s slimmer bezels and redesigned hinge reduce the screen crease, and it’s rumored to be the first foldable with an IP68 dust and water rating. Keep it stylish with a Pixel 10 wallet case from The Pixel Case.
