The countdown to Google’s big August 20 event is on, and today we’re getting our first official look at the Pixel 10 Pro—likely one of the most anticipated phones of the year. While the standard Pixel 10 brings bold, bright color options, the Pixel 10 Pro leans into a more refined and professional aesthetic.
Four Elegant Color Options Revealed
The Pixel 10 Pro will launch in four distinct colorways:
- Obsidian – A sleek, glossy black that’s become a Pixel signature.
- Porcelain – A minimalist white option that reflects a calm, clean design.
- Moonstone – A cool slate blue-gray hue, subtle but stylish.
- Jade – A soft pistachio green with muted gold trim—a surprisingly vibrant choice for a “Pro” model.
While the vibrant Indigo and Frost finishes are reserved for the standard Pixel 10, the Jade finish brings a touch of playfulness to the otherwise subdued Pro lineup.
Launch Confirmed for August 20
Google has already begun teasing the Pixel 10 series through official channels and has sent out event invites for August 20 in New York City. A teaser on the Google Store even showcased the Moonstone color of what is believed to be either the Pixel 10 Pro or 10 Pro XL.
Alongside the event, pre-orders for the full Pixel 10 series will go live the same day, with shipments expected to begin by August 28.
Pixel 10 Pro Specifications
Internally, the Pixel 10 Pro doesn’t deviate too far from last year’s hardware, but it does include a few notable upgrades:
- Processor: Powered by Google’s new Tensor G5 chipset, built on a more efficient 3nm architecture.
- RAM: 16GB of memory for improved multitasking and overall speed.
- Storage options: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB variants.
- Battery: A 4,870mAh cell, slightly smaller than the base Pixel 10’s battery. The reason? The Pixel 10 Pro incorporates a vapor chamber for better thermal management, which takes up extra internal space.
While it offers a slightly smaller battery than the vanilla Pixel 10, the Pro compensates with thermal efficiency and expected performance boosts from the Tensor G5.
Display and Sizing
The Pixel 10 Pro features a 6.3-inch display, just like its predecessor. For those seeking a larger screen and enhanced battery life, Google is also releasing the Pixel 10 Pro XL, which comes with a 6.8-inch display and a much larger 5,200mAh battery.
With its elegant design, smart hardware choices, and a powerful Tensor G5 chip under the hood, the Pixel 10 Pro is shaping up as a strong contender in the premium smartphone market. Google’s decision to keep the design minimal while offering a standout color like Jade sets a balanced tone between performance and personality.
With just weeks to go before its official reveal, we now have a clear picture of what to expect from the Pixel 10 Pro—and it looks promising. Stay tuned for full details and hands-on coverage when Google takes the stage on August 20.
