The Pixel 10 Pro XL is shaping up to be one of Google's best phones yet, and today we've got the first look, as well as some great news on its upgrades. Now, with the official launch just around the corner, a major spec leak has revealed everything about the upcoming Pixel lineup, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL is getting some really good upgrades.
Now, for the display, we get a 6.8-in 120 Hz LTPO display. It's got a resolution of 2992x344 and a peak brightness of 3000 nits to help you see in the sunlight. It also gets an increase to 480 Hz PWM dimming. And then we also get Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection for the front and the back. So hopefully, if you do ever drop it, then it won't let you down.
Now, something else that won't let you down is today's video sponsor, the UG Green NAS DXP 4800 Plus storage with up to 112 TB of storage and much cheaper than if you were to purchase the same capacity in cloud storage. Now, setup is incredibly simple, and I've opted to install four 4 TB HDD drives. And you just slide out the trays, place the drive inside it, and put it back in. And it also supports 2.5-in drives in these bays. Or if you want NVMe drives, you can unscrew the bottom and mount them in here.
Now, the UG Green NAS software makes setup incredibly easy, and you just go through the onscreen instructions, which brings you to this screen where you can go into the control panel and set up everything as you need. You can go into the app center and install things like media apps, virtual machines, and photo storage. And we even have an AI album where you can search photos for keywords like pets, fruits, etc. And of course, you can access this through any browser. You can install it as a network drive on your PC or Mac like I've done and even access it from your mobile phone. Now, they've got an extensive compatibility list for storage drives, and the UG DXP4800 not only gives me plenty of storage and backup drives for at home, but it also means I can securely access all of my files on the go. So, go ahead and grab yours today by clicking the link down in the description below.
Now, back to the Pixel 10 Pro XL. We've got news that, of course, it's going to be powered by the new Tensor G5 chipset which is built on TSMC's 3-nanometer process, and it also comes with 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage with 256 GB now being the lowest option, and this is no doubt going to help with all of the AI tools that we get on the Pixel phones.
For the cameras, it's going to be a 42-megapixel punch-hole camera on the front for your selfies. Then over on the rear, it's a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 48-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 48 MP ultrawide. And while it's the same camera system as last year's model, there's no doubt going to be some improvements to both photos and videos thanks to its software.
Now, of course, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is shipping with Android 16, and Google are no doubt going to showcase plenty of new AI features on launch day.
Now, an upgrade that many are going to be happy to see is in the battery department as we get a 5,200 mAh battery up from last year's 5000. We also get a bump in fast charging to 39 W when using a wire, then 15 W wireless thanks to its G2 support.
When it comes to the color options, we're going to get a choice of obsidian, green, sterling, which is a gray color, and then porcelain, which is a white color. And I've created these renders here, including the ones in the hand, to give you guys the first look at the Pixel 10 Pro XL.
Now, as you can see, design-wise, it's pretty much looking the same as the 9 XL with plenty of prototypes and design leaks already. We can be pretty sure that this is what it's going to look like. Now, that being said, there's no point redesigning the whole phone for the sake of it, and instead they're refining it to a more well-rounded and polished device, and it's probably a much better move.
But for those of you excited, we're now going to run through the full specs, design, and the expected pricing for each model of the Pixel 10. So, hit subscribe now, and we'll get right into it.
So, first up, we've got the standard Pixel 10, which comes with a 6.3-in 120 Hz OLED display with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. It's coming with a resolution of 1080x2424 and improvements to peak brightness as well. And although it has the same display size as its predecessor, the overall dimensions are slightly different. We get a punch-hole camera top center to house the 11-megapixel selfie camera. Then over on the rear, it's the first time we see a triple camera setup for the standard model. And it comes with a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 48 MP ultrawide, and then a 48 telephoto with three times optical zoom that can also take macro shots.
Now, the phone's going to be powered by Google's new Tensor G5 chipset, which is a 3-nanometer chipset, and it brings improvement to performance, efficiency, and AI capabilities. And it's going to be paired with 12 GB of RAM and the choice of 128 or 256 gig storage that will be UFS4. It's powered by a 4,870 mAh battery with 29-watt wired charging and then 15-watt wireless charging. And we get 5G, Bluetooth 5.3, and Wi-Fi 7. And it's of course launching with Android 16 on the 13th of August. It's launching at an expected launch price from £799 or $799.
Now next up we've got the Pixel 10 Pro, and this comes with a 6.3-in 120 Hz LTPO OLED display protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The resolution is 1280x2856, and it's been upgraded for even higher peak brightness as well as some trim down bezels as well. Then we get a punch-hole camera top center for the 42-megapixel selfie camera. Then over on the rear, it packs a triple camera system featuring a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 48 MP ultrawide, and then a 48 MP telephoto with five times optical zoom and enhanced macro capabilities. It's powered up by the new Google Tensor G5 chipset built on a 3nm process. It's delivering big improvements to AI efficiency and performance, and it's going to be paired with up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage, which will of course be UFS4. It's powered by a 4,870 mAh battery with 29-watt wired charging and then 15-watt wireless charging. Then we've also got 5G, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 7, and ultra-wideband support. And the Pixel 10 Pro is going to ship with Android 16 out of the box and it's launching on August the 13th and it's expected to start from £999 or $999.
Finally, we've got the Pixel 10 Pro XL, the biggest and most premium model in the lineup. It features a 6.8-in OLED display with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. We also get improvements to peak brightness for excellent visibility out in the sunlight. We got a 42-megapixel selfie camera top center in the form of a punch-hole selfie camera. And then over on the back we get a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 48 MP ultrawide, and a 48 MP telephoto with five times optical zoom. We also get this periscope-style macro mode as well. Under the hood, it's powered by Google's Tensor G5 chipset built on the 3nm process. This is going to be paired with up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage, which will of course be UFS4. It is powered by a 5,200 mAh battery with 39-watt fast charging when using a wire and 15-watt wireless charging with G2, and its connectivity of course includes 5G, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 7, and ultra-wideband support. It's running Android 16 out of the box, and Google are also promising 7 years of updates on all models of the Pixel 10. It is expected to launch from August the 13th from £1,199 or $1,199.
So overall, the Pixel 10 series is looking to improve on an already popular phone lineup rather than completely just redesigning the phone for the sake of it. And it seems like most of the effort is going into the software as well as the new Tensor G5. Now, as always, photography is going to play a huge part of the Pixel 10's promotions and launch as well as all of Google's AI features. And of course, this means if you've currently got a Pixel 9 series, then it's probably not going to be worth the upgrade. But for those of you on older Pixels or maybe looking to try out your first Pixel, then it's going to be a great choice.
Now, of course, there's still a little bit of time until the official launch where we hear everything from Google themselves. And of course, we're going to be getting more and more leaks as we approach the launch, and I'll be sharing them as soon as they come in. So, make sure you subscribe so you don't miss a thing in the future. Hey hey hey.
