The Pixel 10 line, soon to be released by Google, is expected to assert a strong presence in the months ahead. The range will consist of four distinct models: the standard Pixel 10, the more advanced Pixel 10 Pro, an even larger Pixel 10 Pro XL, and a foldable variant known as the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. For now, setting aside the foldable model, the trio of regular handsets points to a deliberate shift in Google’s approach such as more capable hardware, refined imaging tools, and a fresh generation of processors suggest a bid for serious ground. Before turning to the technical composition, let us consider the projected release and cost of each device.
India Launch and Pricing: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL
Reports indicate that the new devices are likely to be introduced to the Indian market on the 20th of August, 2025, with sales beginning shortly thereafter. As for price, the Pixel 10 Pro is expected to enter at Rs 1,11,990. The XL model, larger in both build and ambition, will likely cost Rs 1,39,990. The more modest Pixel 10, though still well-equipped, is anticipated to sell for Rs 79,999.
Specifications & Features of Pixel 10, Google Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 XL
Various early reports concerning the design of the forthcoming Pixel line imply that Google has chosen not to depart significantly from the layout of its earlier models. Looking first at the standard Pixel 10, it is expected to be fitted with the new Tensor G5 chip, supported by ample memory. The camera system, though still carrying three lenses on the rear, reflects some compromise: the ultra-wide sensor, once 48MP, is said to have been reduced to 12MP, likely in pursuit of keeping costs contained. The display is to be a 6.3-inch AMOLED panel with full-HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Power will come from a 4970mAh battery, with wired charging capped at 29W.
The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL, while larger in size, appear to share much of the same internal design. Each will likely offer a rear camera unit with three sensors: a 50MP main lens, a 48MP ultra-wide, and a 48MP telephoto lens capable of 5X zoom. For front-facing use, be it photography or video calling, a 42MP camera is said to be included. The smaller of the two, the Pixel 10 Pro, may carry a 4870mAh battery, while the XL variant could go further with a 5200mAh cell. Both are expected to support 29W charging through cable, along with wireless charging capped at 15W.
Final Words
The Pixel 10 lineup seems to be refreshingly safe, and to be honest, that is what Android fans need. The prices are not going to be the most budget-friendly (₹1,39,990 Pro XL), but the minor upgrades may indicate that Google has finally realized that evolution can be better than revolution. The Tensor G5 chip will bring the computational photography magic that we know and love, though the camera in the standard model does take a small step back in the ultra-wide department.
The design language is familiar ground. This launch set on the 20th of August leaves us with just enough time to begin justifying why we must have three rear cameras and 5X zooming capabilities. That is, after all, why those candid shots of wildlife are not going to take themselves, and neither will our perfectly styled brunch shots.
