Google Pixel 10 Pro

Where Pixel 10 Pro sits

Pixel 10 Pro was the 6.3-inch Pro in Google’s August 2025 lineup: $999, between Pixel 10 at $799 and the 6.8-inch Pixel 10 Pro XL at $1,199. Google called Tensor G5 its most significant chip upgrade since Tensor’s debut. As of 19 September 2026, Pixel 11 Pro is the current compact Pro, so a Pixel 10 Pro has to win on price.

What Pixel 11 Pro changes

Spec	Pixel 10 Pro	Pixel 11 Pro
US launch price	$999	$1,099
Chip	Tensor G5	Tensor G6
Launch software	Android 16	Android 17
Peak brightness	3,300 nits	3,600 nits
Zoom	Pro Zoom up to 100x	Pro Zoom up to 120x
Wireless charging	Qi2, up to 15W	Qi2.2, up to 25W
Battery life	24+ hours	30+ hours
Weight	207 g	204 g
HiLight	No	Yes

Both are 6.3-inch phones. If the newer chip, the longer battery rating and faster wireless charging don’t matter to you, a well-discounted Pixel 10 Pro gives up only a little brightness and zoom reach.

Cameras and video

The 50MP main camera (ƒ/1.68, 1/1.3-inch sensor) sits beside a 48MP ultrawide with autofocus and Macro Focus, which takes in 123 degrees, and a 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom and OIS. Google counts optical-quality zoom at 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x, and Pro Zoom reaches 100x. The front camera is 42MP with autofocus and a 103-degree view, and records 4K at 30 or 60fps.

Battery and charging

Battery is where the XL pulls ahead. Pixel 10 Pro has a 4,870mAh battery (4,707mAh minimum) rated for 24+ hours, or up to 100 hours in Extreme Battery Saver. A 30W USB-C PPS charger, sold separately, gets it to 55% in about 30 minutes, and Pixelsnap Qi2 wireless charging runs at up to 15W. Pixel 10 Pro XL carries 5,200mAh and charges faster on both counts: 70% in about 30 minutes at 45W, and 25W wirelessly.

Screen

The 6.3-inch (161 mm) Super Actua LTPO OLED is 1280 × 2856 at 495 ppi, refreshes anywhere from 1 to 120Hz, and peaks at 3,300 nits, or 2,200 nits in HDR, under Gorilla Glass Victus 2. That’s brighter than Pixel 9 Pro’s 3,000-nit peak and dimmer than Pixel 11 Pro’s 3,600 nits.

Software and connections

Android 16 was its launch software, and the 7-year promise covers OS, security and Pixel Drop updates. It runs on Tensor G5 with the Titan M2 security chip and 16GB of RAM on every model. Google’s AI list starts with the newest Gemini Nano model and Magic Cue, a proactive assistant, and adds Gemini Live, Circle to Search, Live Translate and Call Assist.

Wi-Fi 7, ultra-wideband and Thread are here along with Bluetooth 6, NFC and a USB-C 3.2 port.

Build

The housing is 100% recycled aluminum, the back is silky matte Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and the phone is rated IP68. Google says at least 30% of the phone by weight is recycled material, against at least 29% for the XL. It measures 152.8 × 72.0 × 8.6 mm, weighs 207 grams and comes in Moonstone, Jade, Porcelain and Obsidian.

Price

Pixel 10 Pro launched at $999 in the US, with pre-orders from 20 August 2025 and store sales from 28 August 2025. With Pixel 11 Pro at $1,099, the older phone needs a real discount to make sense, so check Google Store, carrier and refurbished prices side by side before you buy.
