Google Pixel 10 Pro revealed, launching in August

Google Pixel 10 leaks have been around for a while now, and this time, someone has gotten their hands on what is believed to be a prototype of the device. Images of what is believed to be the Google Pixel 10 Pro have been circulating on Telegram, shared by Mystic Leaks from a Chinese social media platform called “coolapk.”

The caption of the Telegram message, which accompanied the nine images, reads “An early Pixel 10 Pro DVT 1.0.” DVT stands for Design Variation Test, also known as a prototype of the device.

One of the images shows us the Settings section with details about the phone showing "Pixel 10 Pro" along with a screenshot from the DevCheck app showing the phone running on Android 16 (Baklava).

The DevCheck app also provides information about the “Tensor G5” chipset that is said to be powering the Pixel 10 Pro prototype. With a core configuration of “2x Cortex-A520, 3x Cortex-A725, 2x Cortex-A725, 1x Cortex-X4.”

However, the screenshot also shows that the chip is manufactured using a 5nm process, which Mystic Leaks also points out is incorrect as previous rumors have indicated that the Tensor G5 is expected to be manufactured using a 3nm process.

Furthermore, the image shows the phone from all angles, especially the back of the device, highlighting the pill-shaped camera bar. Looking at it, the camera bar appears to be much wider and perhaps a bit thicker than the one on the Pixel 9 Pro. We can also see that it houses three cameras, a flash, and possibly a temperature sensor.

Furthermore, Google seems to have confused the placement of the SIM slot and the USB-C port. According to the image, the SIM slot appears to have been moved to the top left corner of the device, while the USB-C port appears to have two identical speaker-like cutouts on either side.

The phone is shown in black or dark grey, with rounded corners and a glossy finish all around the device. While we can't tell how thick the phone is from these images, it looks similar to its predecessor.

In another leak, Android Headlines appears to have some information about when these devices will launch this year. According to the publication, the Pixel 10 series will be unveiled at the Made by Google event taking place on August 13 this year.

“The lineup will include the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold,” the site added. However, the site did not mention the source of the information.

The publication also claims that pre-orders for the Pixel 10 series will begin on the same day. It also suggests that the new Pixel Watch 4 could be announced at the event.

The website also states that pre-orders will ship on August 20, the same day that in-store sales are set to begin.

With the rumored Pixel Superfans event later this month in the UK suggesting an earlier launch, this leak seems to put all those rumors to rest. It’s important to take all of this information with a grain of salt, as Google has yet to officially confirm anything.
