Next week, Google will take to the stage to announce, among other things, the Pixel 10 lineup. It’s been a long time coming; we first started hearing about the Pixel 10 over two years ago, when word of its TSMC-made Tensor G5 chipset first started leaking. As is usual for Google launches, countless renders and rumors have painted a pretty clear picture of the entire series, pairing an all-too-familiar exterior with, seemingly, some pretty meaningful under-the-hood changes.

If you already know you’re buying a Pixel 10 but you’re stuck on color choices, this might be the leak you’ve been waiting for.

While every leaked render and marketing tease for Google upcoming smartphone launch might make the Pixel 10 feel like a year-old rerun, the devil’s seemingly in the details. Even setting aside the usual round of software enhancements — only some of which have just begun to leak — it’s clear Google does have some hardware tricks up its sleeve Chief among them is native Qi2 support, which should bring support for magnetic chargers, wallets, stands, and much more to every device in the Pixel 10 lineup.

Welcome to episode 65 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Damien, Abner, and Will take a break from talking about the endless onslaught of Pixel 10 renders to take in a more zoomed-out look at Google’s current ecosystem. As the company starts advertising the Pixel 10 series, new reports suggest we might be waiting a few months for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and the Pixel Buds 2a. Meanwhile, the company’s decision to stop selling refurbished Pixel 6a models has us thinking about hardware longevity compared to software longevity, and how the two sometimes collide in unexpected ways.
According to a new rumor, Google’s Pixel 10 series might invest more heavily into eSIM, and largely do away with physical SIM cards as a result.

We’ve already seen pretty much all there is to see about the Pixel 10 series, but now a new pair of leaks are more clearly showing of the base Pixel 10 and the Pixel 10 Pro, and offering a pretty clear picture of what’s glossy and what’s matte on these devices.

Welcome to episode 64 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner and Will make up for Damien’s absence by discussing the latest crop of Pixel leaks, including US pricing for the phones and watch that seemingly avoids tariff-mania. It’s not just prices, though — a new “Pixelsnap” leak all but confirms the native Qi2 support we’ve been begging for for years, while a new Pixel Buds 2a leak points towards a pretty familiar set of earbuds.
Google will reportedly not raise the price — which was a concern amidst tariffs — of the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold in the US.

Welcome to episode 63 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, the Pixel leaks start comin’ and they don’t stop comin’, as we break down the massive amount of Pixel 10 and Pixel Watch 4 leaks that continue to fall into our lap. Come for the conversation on which colors are doing it for us — and which aren’t — and stay for the breakdown on why the Pixel 10 series just might arrive with Qi2 built-in. Plus, what’s the deal with foldables, and is the Pixel Watch 4’s new charger ridiculous, or ridiculously awesome?
While many devices strive to be thinner and lighter than their predecessors, Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 series is thicker and heavier across the board, adding more credence to the idea that these devices will have Qi2 magnets inside in line with recent teases.
