Google Pixel 10 Tipped to Pack Larger Battery Than Pixel 9; May Offer Faster Charging

Google is expected to announce the Pixel 10 series in August. While we wait for the formal reveal, a new leak has emerged online, offering insight into what to expect from the standard Pixel 10 smartphone. The latest leak suggests that the upcoming smartphone will ship with a bigger battery and improved wireless charging speed. It is said to run on Google's in-house Tensor G5 chipset and could pack 12GB of RAM. The Pixel 10 is said to feature a 6.3-inch display and a triple rear camera unit including a new telephoto sensor. 

Pixel 10 Key Specifications Revealed in New Leak

Android Headlines has listed the possible specifications of the standard Pixel 10 ahead of its rumoured release on August 20. It is said to carry a 4,970mAh battery, up from the 4,700mAh battery on last year's Pixel 9. The new model is said to offer 29W wired charging support and 15W Qi2 wireless charging support. This would be a notable upgrade over the 27W wired charging speed offered by the Pixel 9. 

Furthermore, the Pixel 10 is reportedly set to feature a 6.3-inch full-HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The display is said to provide HDR brightness of 2,000 nits, up from 1,800 nits on the Pixel 9. The screen is likely to have Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.

The Pixel 10 is reportedly equipped with a Tensor G5 chipset, manufactured using TSMC's 3nm process. For optics, the handset is tipped to feature a triple rear camera unit comprising a 48-megapixel 1/2.0-inch sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and a new 10.8-megapixel 5x telephoto sensor. The 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera would be a step back from the 48-megapixel ultrawide sensor available on the Pixel 9. 

Google is reportedly packing 12GB of RAM into the Pixel 10. It is expected to be launched in 128GB and 256GB storage options. 

Previous leaks indicate that the Pixel 10 will feature notable upgrades, including enhanced speaker performance and gimbal-level image stabilisation. The handset, however, is said to skip Wi-Fi 7 and vapour chamber cooling features. 

The Pixel 10 is expected to debut at a Made by Google event on August 20, alongside the Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold models, with sales said to begin on August 28.
