With the Pixel 10 series launch drawing near, Google has officially unveiled renders of its upcoming Pixel 10 Pro XL, giving us the most detailed look yet at the flagship phone’s design, color options, and key specifications. The standout reveal is its massive 5,200mAh battery—the largest ever in a Pixel device and the second-largest battery in a U.S. flagship phone, just behind the OnePlus 13.
Familiar Design, Fresh Colors
If you’re a fan of the Pixel 10 Pro, you’ll feel right at home with the Pixel 10 Pro XL. Google is bringing over all four colors from the standard Pro model—Obsidian, Porcelain, Jade, and Moonstone:
- Obsidian: A deep, glossy black—Google’s signature color.
- Porcelain: A clean and minimalistic off-white tone.
- Jade: A soft green with a muted gold frame, offering a unique pistachio-like hue that adds a touch of elegance.
- Moonstone: A slate-blue tint with subtle gray undertones, giving it a cool, refined appearance.
These fresh colorways are designed to appeal to users looking for personality without being too flashy. Interestingly, while the Pixel 10 comes in a more playful set of colors like Indigo and Frost, the 10 Pro XL keeps things premium and toned down.
Biggest Pixel Battery Ever
Internally, most of the Pixel 10 Pro XL’s specs remain in line with its predecessor—the Pixel 9 Pro XL. However, one huge upgrade is the leap to a 5,200mAh battery. That places it at the forefront of battery performance in the U.S. market, promising longer screen-on times, more efficient power management, and potentially multi-day use for moderate users.
This upgrade is likely to be a key selling point, especially for users who felt that previous Pixel phones fell short on battery endurance.
Next-Gen Tensor G5 and Premium Hardware
The Pixel 10 Pro XL will debut with Google’s new Tensor G5 chipset, manufactured by TSMC using a 3nm process—the same cutting-edge technology used in the latest Apple and Snapdragon chips. The new processor is set to deliver better thermals, faster performance, and improved AI handling capabilities.
Backed by 16GB of RAM, the phone will come in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options. Google is dropping the 128GB base variant this year, effectively raising the entry-level storage—echoing Apple’s decision with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. While the overall pricing structure might stay the same, the storage increase gives Google room to justify the value bump.
What Else to Expect?
Although Google hasn’t disclosed all features yet, it’s expected that the Pixel 10 Pro XL will retain many of the premium touches from previous generations, such as:
- LTPO AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate
- Multiple rear cameras enhanced with machine learning
- Ultra-wideband (UWB) support and improved image processing
- Pixel-exclusive software tools like Magic Editor and Call Screening
With official renders now out, there’s little left to imagine. Google is clearly pushing the Pixel 10 Pro XL as the go-to option for power users who want flagship performance, refined aesthetics, and long battery life wrapped into one. If the performance of the Tensor G5 and battery optimizations deliver on expectations, this could shape up to be the best Pixel phone yet.
As we await the official launch event in the coming weeks, it’s safe to say the Pixel 10 Pro XL is ready to challenge the very best in the Android world—and perhaps even win over some iPhone defectors along the way.
