Google Pixel
The Google Pixel 10 is one of the most awaited smartphones of the year. With Google’s consistent push for AI-powered smartphones and premium Android experiences, the Pixel 10 promises to continue the brand’s tradition of blending clean software with innovative hardware. Though Google hasn’t officially confirmed all the details yet, leaks and industry trends give us a solid idea of what to expect.
Expected Launch Date in India
Based on Google’s usual release cycle, the Pixel 10 is likely to be launched globally in October 2025. In previous years, Google has followed a pattern of unveiling its flagship devices during the first or second week of October. For example, the Pixel 8 series was launched in early October 2023 and hit the Indian market within a couple of weeks. If Google sticks to this pattern, the Pixel 10 should be available in India by mid to late October 2025.
Design and Display
Though official images are yet to be released, early concept renders suggest that the Pixel 10 might bring a more refined version of the signature visor like rear camera bar. Google may also opt for slimmer bezels and a slightly more curved edge to modernize the look without straying too far from the classic Pixel design.
As for the display, the Pixel 10 is expected to come with a 6.4-inch or 6.7-inch OLED screen depending on the model (standard or Pro). A 120Hz refresh rate with adaptive refresh technology is almost guaranteed, ensuring smooth scrolling and vibrant visuals.
Performance and Software
The Pixel 10 will likely debut with the next gen Tensor G5 chip, built using a more efficient fabrication process. This custom silicon is expected to improve performance, enhance power efficiency, and bring advanced AI features directly to the device. Android 15 or 16 will be pre installed out of the box, along with exclusive Pixel features such as Call Screen, Magic Editor, and Live Translate.
Google’s commitment to 7 years of software updates (as announced with Pixel 8) will likely continue, making the Pixel 10 one of the most future-proof Android phones on the market.
Camera
Google has always been at the forefront of smartphone photography, and the Pixel 10 is expected to build on this legacy. Rumors suggest improved sensors and upgraded computational photography features. Enhanced low-light performance, AI-powered editing, and better video stabilization are likely to be part of the package.
Expected Price in India
Pricing is a key concern for Indian buyers, and while Google has made efforts to keep the Pixel competitive, flagships come at a cost. The Pixel 10 is expected to be priced around ₹75,000 to ₹80,000 for the base variant. The Pixel 10 Pro, if released alongside, could go above ₹1,00,000. However, Google may introduce bank offers or launch discounts to make the phone more accessible.
The Pixel 10 is shaping up to be a powerful flagship that balances cutting-edge AI features with clean Android software. With its likely October 2025 launch and a premium price tag, it will compete directly with other high-end smartphones in India like the iPhone 16 and Samsung Galaxy S25.
