Google Pixel 10 series launch date leaks

Google introduced the Pixel 9 series of smartphones on August 13, last year, and it has at one point in the past been rumored to launch the Pixel 10 devices earlier.

A new rumor today comes to contradict that, revealing the fact that the Pixel 10 devices will actually be getting official on exactly the same date as their predecessors: August 13. Apparently, 13 is a lucky number for Google - if this rumor pans out, of course.

The Pixel 10 handsets will be powered by Google's Tensor G5 chipset, the first one in the line that will be manufactured by TSMC and not Samsung. That, rumors say, will come with a modem switch from Samsung's Exynos Modem to a MediaTek modem, as well as (hopefully) better performance and thermals. Despite the modem switch, the Pixel 10 family is still expected to retain support for satellite connectivity, according to a recent report.

Since Google plans on releasing Android 16 this month, it's a given that the Pixel 10s will be running this version out of the box. They might also come with a higher PWM dimming rate for their screens.
