It’s almost time for Google to reveal the Google Pixel 10 Pro, which is one of the most anticipated smartphone releases of the year. It will happen at the Made by Google event on August 20, 2025. Google is likely to also announce the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which can be folded up.
What is certain: the facts
The Tensor G5 chip, which was made with TSMC’s advanced 3nm process, is one of the biggest changes this year. This is a big change from how Samsung made things before. It should lead to faster performance, better battery life, and better heat control.
A sleek, shiny finish in colours like “Frost” and “Moonstone” has been teased by Google in terms of shape. The Pixel 10 Pro will also have a temperature monitor under the flash, which is something that not many flagship phones have.
The screen is getting a big makeover, with brighter panels and better PWM dimming to make it easier on the eyes. The Pixel 10 Pro will support Qi2 magnetic charging, which makes wireless charging smarter and better aligned with devices that work with it.
Software-wise, the Pixel 10 Pro will run on Android 15, which has more AI built in. Camera Coach (which gives you real-time tips on how to take the perfect shot), Speak-to-Tweak voice photo editing, and creative video tools are all about to come out. Google says that the Pixel 9 series will have 30% faster boot times.
There will likely be storage choices up to 1TB, but the base model may still start at 128GB, which is already causing fans to argue.
What People Say: The Myths
Early leaks said that the Pixel 10 Pro would have a front camera under the screen. However, trustworthy sources now say that Google is going with a punch-hole design because it makes the images look better.
Some people also think that emergency calls could be made through satellites. This feature might be possible, but Google hasn’t said for sure, and people who know about it say it might be saved for later models.
Something else that is being said is that the Pixel 10 Pro will have a 200MP main camera lens. Reports say it will be a better version of the current 50MP sensor, with better optics and AI image processing, with the goal of making photos smarter rather than just having more pixels.
The Bigger Picture
The Pixel 10 Pro tries to strike a mix between advanced AI features, a sleek design, and features that make it easy for anyone to use, all without drastically raising prices. The base model is expected to cost $999 at launch. If it lives up to Google’s claims, it could be a strong competitor in the high-end smartphone market.
It won’t be long before fans can tell the difference between fact and fiction. The official reveal is coming up in just a few days.
