TL;DR

• The Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro XL have passed through the FCC website.
• Both phones apparently have satellite support, and there are hints of a Samsung modem once again.
• Meanwhile, the Pro version has Thread and UWB support while the standard model misses these features.

Google is expected to launch the Pixel 10 series in the coming weeks, and we’ve already seen a steady stream of leaks. However, the latest leak comes via the company’s own regulatory filings.

The Pixel 10 (model number GLBWO, GL066, GK2MP), Pixel 10 Pro (G4QUR), and Pixel 10 Pro XL (GUL82) passed through the FCC website this week, revealing a few details about the phones.
Starting with the XL model, the FCC filing confirms features like wireless charging, Wi-Fi 6E, Thread support, and UWB. However, we also have evidence that the company is indeed using a Samsung modem. The Pixel 10 Pro’s listing also confirms all of these features and hints at a Samsung modem.

Meanwhile, the standard Pixel 10 filing mentions connectivity features like wireless charging and Wi-Fi 6E. However, Google’s vanilla phone doesn’t seem to offer Thread or UWB connectivity. We see evidence of a Samsung-made modem here, too.

All three Pixel filings also mention satellite functionality, also known as NTN (non-terrestrial network) connectivity. This wouldn’t be a surprise as the Pixel 9 series offers satellite connectivity. Check out the screenshots below.

These aren’t the only recent Pixel 10 series leaks. A trusted outlet recently revealed EU pricing for the phones, and it looks like Europeans aren’t getting a price hike this year. Leaked specs also suggest bigger batteries for the standard and XL models.

Ya after watching some more videos on the 9 Fold i see many people saying the inner screen has dents from fingernails

Ya QC and engineering design problem I guess ... Not much excitement other than the IP68 rating...

When i bought my 9 pro xl I had issues with the phone not detecting my sim( works with my other phone) . In the end I had to go to singtel to request a new sim, apparently it was a quite common issue

At least their service turnaround time is fast so kudos to that... But some users actually faced several issues on and off quite unlucky need to repair often...

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

Android phones not know for resale value

 

[hellhole]

if the keep up the security updated and stuff... owning a pixel for 5 year is not really an issue ..esp if you are using the top end ones...

All android phones doesn't have much resale value. Value starts to drop quite a bit one to two months after release.

 

[chari-men]

Foldable resale value is expected to be half after a year...

My comparison will be samsung vs google. Previously own pixel phone, took quite a while to sell compare to Samsung phone

All aboard the hype train

It begins..

TL;DR

• Google has set an August 20 date for its next Made by Google event.
• The company intends to “share the latest on our Pixel phones, watches, buds, and more.”
• In addition to the Pixel 10 series, we could see the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a make their debut.

Every year’s new Pixel lineup is an exciting one for devoted Android fans, but 2025 is really shaping up to be something special. With the TSMC-made Tensor G5 chip, the Pixel 10 series promises to deliver maybe the most impressive upgrades we’ve seen in a long time, and that’s not even touching on the rest of the new Google hardware we could expect to debut alongside it. Understandably, we’ve been hugely curious about when we might get to see the Pixel 10 family go official, and today we finally get our answer.

Google has started distributing invitations for its next Made by Google event, taking place Wednesday, August 20 in Brooklyn, NY. That’s a date we’d heard before, rumored alongside August 13 as possibilities. It’s also just a couple days ahead of when Google threw its Pixel 9 launch event last year.

Obviously, we’re looking forward to the Pixel 10, the Pixel 10 Pro, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. In addition to the new SoC this year, we’re expecting upgrades like high-refresh-rate dimming, some brighter screens, and faster biometrics. We’ve even heard about what color options we might get.

In its invitation, Google says it intends to “share the latest on our Pixel phones, watches, buds, and more.” We just brought you an early look at what we’re expecting from Pixel Watch 4 hardware upgrades, like some slightly bigger batteries.

Just a couple weeks back, we also heard rumors about a possible new Pixel Buds A-series model, and if we really are getting those Pixel Buds 2a, it sure sounds like Google intends to show them off next month.

Beyond all that hardware, we wouldn’t be surprised to end up hearing a whole lot about features landing in Android’s next Pixel Drop — of course, with plenty of Pixel 10 exclusives, we’re sure. Hopefully we’ll get a slightly better picture of everything Google’s likely to share as we start closing in on that August 20 date. Keep following Android Authority for all that coverage leading up to the launch, as well as our hands-on report from the Made by Google event itself.
