Whether you’re eyeing the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, or the innovative Pixel 10 Pro Fold, you’re probably wondering: what’s new, and can you reuse your Pixel 9 cases? At The Pixel Case, trusted by over 30,000 Pixel users, we’ve got the answers and a full range of Pixel 10 cases and Pixel 10 accessories to keep your new device protected. Let’s dive into the differences and case compatibility.

What’s New in the Pixel 10 Series?

The Pixel 10 series brings significant upgrades over the Pixel 9, affecting design, performance, and accessory compatibility. Here’s a breakdown of the key changes:

• Processor: The Pixel 10 series is powered by the Tensor G5 chip, offering faster AI processing and better efficiency than the Pixel 9’s Tensor G4.
• Display: The Pixel 10 Pro XL features a 6.8-inch OLED, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold boasts a 7.6-inch foldable display, compared to the Pixel 9’s 6.3-inch and Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s 7.3-inch screens.
• Camera: The Pixel 10 series introduces a redesigned camera module with a 50MP main sensor and enhanced AI for low-light photography, differing from the Pixel 9’s layout.
• Design: Subtle changes in dimensions, button placement, and hinge design (for the Fold) make the Pixel 10 series distinct from the Pixel 9.
• Charging: The Pixel 10 series supports 15W wireless charging with MagSafe compatibility, a step up from the Pixel 9’s 12W charging.

These changes mean most Pixel 10 cases are not backward compatible with Pixel 9 models. Let’s explore why and what options you have.

Are Pixel 9 Cases Compatible with Pixel 10?

Due to differences in dimensions, camera modules, and hinge designs (for foldables), Pixel 9 cases generally won’t fit the Pixel 10 series. For example:

• The Pixel 10 is slightly thicker (8.5mm vs. 8.2mm) than the Pixel 9, affecting case fit.
• The Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL have larger camera bumps, requiring updated cutouts.
• The Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a refined hinge, making Pixel 9 Pro Fold cases incompatible.
