Google Teases Early Launch of Pixel 10 Series with Super Fans Event

Introduction to the Pixel 10 Series

Last August, Google introduced its Pixel 9 series smartphones, but this year, the tech giant seems poised to deviate from its usual launch timeline. The company has hinted at an earlier release for the Pixel 10 series. As part of this initiative, Google has organized a special event for super fans, allowing them to engage directly with the product development team. Although the invitation did not disclose specific details about the upcoming Pixel designs, attendees may get an exclusive first look at the Pixel 10 smartphones.

Anticipated Features of the Pixel 10

Recent reports indicate that TSMC will manufacture the Tensor G5 Chip for the Pixel 10, marking a significant upgrade for the device. Additionally, Android 16 is expected to launch soon. Historically, Google has unveiled its Pixel models in October, but this year, the launch could occur as early as August during the aforementioned event.

Previous Leaks and Rumors

Prior to the super fans event announcement, several leaks surfaced regarding the new smartphone. These leaks suggested that the Pixel 10 will be available in fresh colors, including Obsidian (Black), Blue, Iris (Purple), and Limoncello (Yellow). The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL are rumored to come in Obsidian (Black), Green, Sterling (Gray), and Porcelain (White).

Images leaked online showcased a storyboard that hinted at the marketing strategy for the Pixel 10. The visuals suggested a comprehensive commercial shoot, with taglines and images indicating the introduction of numerous AI features.

Design Similarities with Pixel 9 Pro

The leaked images suggest that the Pixel 10's design closely resembles that of the Pixel 9 series. Notably, the Pixel 10 features a third camera lens, mirroring the design of the Pixel 9 Pro. The placement of the power button and volume rocker remains unchanged as well.

While the Pixel 10 was initially expected to launch in August, it may debut sooner. This leak marks a unique instance, as it originates from a commercial marketing video shoot rather than the usual pre-launch leaks. Historically, Pixel phones have experienced leaks, including a notable incident where a truckload of Pixel devices was stolen in Russia before their official release.

The leaked images depict the phone in an Obsidian color, with additional color options likely to include Porcelain and two other special shades. Traditionally, Pixel phones have been released in more subdued colors, but Google appears to be shifting towards a more vibrant palette to attract new customers.
