New devices are getting harder and harder for tech companies to keep under wraps, and after the base Pixel 10 saw new render leaks drop yesterday, followed by Pixel 10 Pro leaks this morning (both via Android Headlines), Google seems to have given up and decided to published a video of the Pixel 10 itself.
On a Google Store page for the Pixel 10, the company now shows a short sequence with the number 10 transforming into a Pixel camera bar, before zooming out to reveal the phone in its full glory. While the company didn’t say whether this is the base model or the pro model, the store page and URL only mentions “Pixel 10.” Still, the phone in the video does look a lot more like how the Pixel 10 Pro is rumored to look.
That’s a bit disappointing, since the base Pixel 10 is the one that’s set to be startly different from the last model. While the regular Pixel 10 is rumored to be getting a new telephoto lens (at the cost of some ultrawide fidelity), the (seeming) Pixel 10 Pro in Google’s video looks almost exactly like the Pixel 9 Pro.
That means no lost features, but also probably merely incremental improvements. Still, there is one key takeaway here: That the leaks seem to have been right on the money for the Pixel 10 Pro means that leaks for the base Pixel 10, which have been corroborated by the same source as the 10 Pro’s leaks, might be correct as well. That’s big news, since it would seem to confirm that the regular Pixel 10 will indeed have an arguably worse camera system than its predecessor, depending on how important zoom is to you.
Regardless, it won’t take long to get rid of all the “maybes” here: The entire Pixel 10 portfolio is set to go on sale on August 20, after a stream showing the new devices off at 1 p.m. EST that day. Alongside the base Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro, Google is also expected to reveal a Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the Pixel Watch 4.
