Google shows the Pixel 10

Google has published a first video showing the upcoming Pixel 10 smartphone. This is probably Google's response to leaked images of the upcoming Android flagship – a strategy that the manufacturer has already implemented with the Pixel 9. When the leaks come, official photos follow.

The Pixel 10 is shown in a short clip that Google has published on its website. The phone can be seen from behind. There is no major design change compared to the Pixel 9 at first glance, the phone looks very similar. The camera module, in which a third camera has now been placed, is particularly striking.

Rumors about the triple camera

Since the Pixel 6, the base models of Pixel phones have only had two camera sensors. If you wanted three, you had to go for the more expensive Pro. This seems to be changing with the Pixel 10. According to rumors, it will have a telephoto zoom camera in addition to wide and ultra-wide-angle cameras.

According to a report by Android Authority from April, the Pro model will still be different from the base model: This is because the camera sensors of the Pro Pixel are said to offer a higher resolution than those of the standard variant. According to this, Google's upcoming Pixel 10 could have the same wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle cameras as the Pixel 9a. The Pixel 10's wide-angle camera will still have a 50-megapixel sensor, just like the Pixel 9. Instead of a Samsung GNV sensor, the GN8 model will be used, which is also found in the 9a.

The 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera of the Pixel 10 can also be found in the 9a. The telephoto zoom camera of the base model will apparently have an 11-megapixel sensor from Samsung with the model number 3J1. In contrast, there will be no major changes to the Pro models.

Google plans to unveil the Pixel 10 at an event on August 20.
