Google Pixel 10 series

Either gonna wait for their PO promo or go with other brands.. their release dates quite far apart.

I'm going to wait for reviews first (might get it through recontact with telco). In the meanwhile I'll use my Fold7 when it comes

I cannot justify spending 2k for Pixel foldables... Samsung still acceptable because they R&D a lot on their software.. If Pixel got the 899 promo like last year maybe can consider...

I wasn't into pixel until earlier this year when I was bored of one UI

Only concern is the resale value for Google phone. Not much take up rate

Android phones never had good resale value even for high end models which will fare a bit better.

For the cLeAn UI

Only thing I miss on the pixels is no dual audio (2 apps playing audio at the same time )

May I know what was last year's launch promotion for me to use as comparison?

Thanks.

Same like Apple, Google will decide what you as the end user needs.

Your comment makes no sense. Google owns and develop Android. What Samsung does is just putting their flavour on vanilla Android.

Correct me if I'm wrong isn't Android open source??

The first official renders of the Google Pixel 10 are here, ahead of its confirmed launch on August 20. Google is introducing four bold new colors: Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, and Limoncello, with the familiar Porcelain shade notably absent. The biggest design change is a revamped camera bar that now includes a telephoto lens—a first for the base model Pixel.

This is your first look at the official renders for the Google Pixel 10, which Google has confirmed will be announced on August 20.

The Google Pixel 10 colors will include Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, and Limoncello. The Obsidian is obviously Google’s black color, which they’ve offered for many years now. While the Indigo is a real royal blue, a bit lighter than the blue shadow on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Frost is a much lighter blue, almost like the iPhone 15 from a couple of years ago, and finally, the Limoncello is a yellow-green color.

These are all pretty bright colors, and an interesting color palette for Google, even on its base model. Especially since the Porcelain color is missing from the base Pixel 10, now.

The biggest change, is the camera bar​

This year, the biggest change on the Google Pixel 10 is actually going to be in the camera bar. It’s not actually a larger camera bar; however, the glass on the camera bar is now larger. This is due to Google adding a third camera to the Pixel 10 – finally adding that telephoto camera.

As we’ve already reported on, all Google Pixel 10 camera sensors are going to be smaller this year. This is likely to help differentiate the Pixel 10 from the Pixel 10 Pro models, since there’s no reason why the Pixel 10 can’t have the exact same sensors as the “Pro” models.

The primary sensor will be a 48-megapixel sensor, with a 12-megapixel ultrawide and a 10.8-megapixel telephoto sensor. These sensors come from the Pixel 9a, and the telephoto comes from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Obviously, the Google Pixel 10 specs look like a pretty huge downgrade. But an important thing to remember is Google’s computational photography. It works better on these smaller sensors, versus the larger ones we have on the “Pro” models. This is a big reason why the Pixel a-series typically wins the blind smartphone camera tests every single year.

The Google Pixel 10 release date is set for August 20, with pre-orders opening that same day. Devices are set to start shipping on August 28.
