Pixel 10

Released August 2025

The Pixel 10 is Google's standard 6.3-inch phone for 2025, with the Tensor G5 chip, 12 GB of memory and a triple camera that includes a 5× telephoto, for Android buyers who want a flagship Pixel without paying for the Pro models.

What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the bright display, design, magnetic Pixelsnap charging and software, and TechRadar and Tom's Guide welcomed the 5× telephoto. All three found the Tensor G5 slow for the price and battery life only middling; GSMArena went further, judging camera quality a step back from the Pixel 9 apart from the zoom.
