Google Pixel 10 Pro & 10 Pro XL Specs Leak: Hardware Change? Don’t Hold Your Breath
So, the Google Pixel 10 Pro lineup is leaking like a badly sealed ziplock bag, and we’ve now got a solid look at what to expect. Spoiler alert: it’s more of the same because if you were banking on big hardware changes, you clearly haven’t been watching Google’s recent playbook.
Let’s rewind a bit.
Last year’s Pixel 9 series introduced some legit changes under the hood, but Google barely mentioned any of them during its keynote. Instead, they hit us with a full-blown Gemini-AI-Android-magic marketing campaign. Turns out, they’re keeping the same energy in 2025.
Pixel 10 Pro: Minor Tweaks, Familiar Package
The Pixel 10 Pro is shaping up to be almost identical to the Pixel 9 Pro. The formula’s unchanged: a compact flagship with high-end internals, a 6.3-inch OLED panel, more RAM than the base Pixel, and extra camera perks like telephoto and a better selfie shooter.
So what has changed? Here’s a quick look:
-
Battery: Slight bump +170mAh
-
Wired charging: Technically faster +2W (but blink and you’ll miss it)
-
Camera bonus: Ultra-wide and telephoto lenses now expected to support macro photography
That’s pretty much it. No design overhaul. No new processor surprises. Just a mild refresh, which says a lot about Google’s current approach to Pixel hardware: if it ain’t broke (and AI is the star), don’t bother fixing it.
Pixel 10 Pro XL: Bigger Battery, Fewer Surprises
Over on the bigger side of town, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is following a similar philosophy. But it does at least get one claim to fame, it’s packing Google’s biggest Pixel battery ever at 5,200mAh.
Now, in the broader smartphone universe, that number doesn’t exactly shake mountains (there are budget phones pushing 6,000mAh batteries), but for Google? It’s progress.
Other noteworthy changes:
-
No 128GB variant this time around. The new base model starts at 256GB, which is great until you remember what that probably means for the starting price. Spoiler: It’s likely going up.
That’s about it. Design language remains the same. Display sizes are unchanged. AI will once again be the headliner when the event rolls around next month.
Final Thoughts: It’s the Pixel Way Now
If you’re hoping for Google to flip the table and give you hardware fireworks this year, you might be watching the wrong company. The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL are clearly about incremental polish over dramatic shifts. Google’s betting the house on software smarts, AI, and that “it just works” vibe, not on turning your Pixel into a transformer.
The Pixel 10 series launches next month, and while the design is familiar, the focus will be firmly on AI magic and Gemini integration. Hardware may be snoozing, but software’s wide awake.
