The 2025 smartphone arena is heating up with Apple, Samsung, and OnePlus launching their flagship devices. All eyes are now on Google, as anticipation builds for the Pixel 10 series announcement expected in the coming months. Today, we have our first glimpse of the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro XL, thanks to leaked images.
Android Headlines has published images showcasing the Pixel 10 Pro XL, revealing a device with a sizable 6.8-inch display. Design-wise, the new model appears to closely resemble its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Leaked dimensions suggest the Pixel 10 Pro XL will measure 162.7 x 76.6 x 8.5 mm, a mere 0.1 mm taller than the current model.
Following its established pattern, Google is expected to unveil four models within the Pixel 10 series: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Furthermore, the budget-friendly Pixel 9a is rumored to launch next week.

Details surrounding the Pixel 10 series remain scarce, but we can confirm that each model will boast Google’s latest Tensor G5 chip and ship with Android 16 pre-installed. A key new feature is “Pixel Sense,” an on-device AI assistant developed by Google.
Pixel Sense, as previously reported, has been in development for some time. This innovative feature empowers apps to provide contextual answers to user queries, even those involving personal data. Crucially, all processing occurs on the device, ensuring user privacy as no information is transmitted to Google’s servers.

Google traditionally launches its Pixel devices in August, and a similar timeframe is anticipated for the Pixel 10 series, although an earlier release remains a possibility.
The smartphone landscape has already witnessed several significant launches this year, including the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R, the Apple iPhone 16e, and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series. The Pixel 10 series is poised to add another layer of excitement to this competitive market.
Google’s commitment to on-device AI with Pixel Sense could be a game-changer for user privacy and personalized experiences. The Pixel 10 series is shaping up to be a strong contender in the 2025 smartphone race.
