Here's What Coming With The Google Pixel 10 Series

Google has officially revealed the design of the Pixel 10 series which will be same as that of Pixel 9 series but it will be a bit heavier. Pixel 10 , Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL will weigh 204g, 207g and 232g respectively, which is up from 198g (P9), 199g (P9p) and 221g (P9p XL). Although its the same design, but there will be new colors.

Pixel 10: Obsidian, Indigo, Frost & Limoncello
Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL: Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone & Jade
Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Moonstone and Jade

The biggest update of the Pixel 10 series is the processor as the Tensor G5 will be manufactured by TSMC and will feature a IMG PowerVR GPU, specifically DXT 48-1536 GPU with 2CU. Modem will remain the same i.e Samsung Exynos 5400, but it could be a newer revision. Also, the Tensor G5 will have a fully custom ISP developed entirely by Google.

For the display, the screen will be 200~250nits brighter than the Pixel 9 series. The HDR brightness will be 2000nits (P10), 2250nits (P10p & 10p XL) and 1850nits (P10p Fold). Google is also upgrading the Display Dimming this time & it rumoured to feature 480Hz PWM Dimming at 120Hz refresh rate. Also, the display will support "Adaptive Tone" feature โ€” dynamically adapts the display to warmer or cooler tones based on the ambient lightning. Basically, the ambient EQ feature of the Pixel 4 is coming back.

Camera will remain the same as the 9 Series except for the Pixel 10. Thus, Pixel 10 Pro & 10 Pro XL will get 50MP main (GNV, OIS) + 48MP Ultrawide (GM5) + 48MP Telephoto (GM5, OIS). Pixel 10 will feature a Telephoto sensor this time but at the cost of the main sensor as it will be a downgrade. Pixel 10 will get 50MP main GN8 sensor, the same used in Pixel 9a while the Pixel 9 has a GNV sensor. Telephoto will be 12MP Samsung 3J1.
One nice upgrade to camera this time is the addition of "Rear Telephoto Macro" photography across all pixel 10 models.

Pixel 10 will once again lack vapor chamber while Pixel 10 Pro & XL will feature bigger VC than Pixel 9 Pro/XL. Only Pixel 10 Pro XL will start at 256GB storage while Pixel 10 & 10 Pro will start from 128GB as usual. Pixel 10 Pro XL will have the biggest battery at 5200mAh (39W wired charging), followed by Pixel 10 at 4970mAh, Pixel 10 Pro at 4870mAh (29W wired) and Pixel 10 Pro Fold will have 5015mAh. Also, all models will support 15W wireless charging.

Pixel 10 series notes โ€œQi2 Wireless Chargingโ€ support, and others detailing a new โ€œPixelsnapโ€ ecosystem of accessories that leverages magnets. โ€œPixelsnapโ€ is said to include a โ€œCharger,โ€ โ€œRing Stand,โ€ and โ€œCharger with Stand.โ€ Googleโ€™s official cases this year will have built-in magnets but its still unknown if the phones themselves will have magnets built in for Qi2 or it will be just "Qi2 ready" like the OnePlus 13 or Galaxy smartphones.

BREAKING: EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google
Reddit

The EU is currently developing a whitelabel app to perform privacy-preserving (at least in theory) age verification to be adopted and personalized in the coming months by member states. The app is open source and available here: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui.

Problem is, the app is planning to include remote attestation feature to verify the integrity of the app: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui?tab=readme-ov-file#disclaimer. This is supposed to provide assurance to the age verification service that the app being used is authentic and running on a genuine operating system. Genuine in the case of Android means:

โ€ข The operating system was licensed by Google
โ€ข The app was downloaded from the Play Store (thus requiring a Google account)
โ€ข Device security checks have passed

While there is value to verify device security, this strongly ties the app to many Google properties and services, because those checks won't pass on an aftermarket Android OS, even those which increase security significantly like GrapheneOS, because the app plans to use Google "Play Integrity", which only allows Google licensed systems instead of the standard Android attestation feature to verify systems.

This also means that even though you can compile the app, you won't be able to use it, because it won't come from the Play Store and thus the age verification service will reject it.

The issue has been raised here https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui/issues/10 but no response from team members as of now.

In short: You can only be a full citizen of the EU if you accept the ToS from Google.

Google Pixel Watch 4 will feature new charging system

Googleโ€™s Pixel Watch 4 will feature a new side-mounted charging system, which will render the previous-generation Pixel Watch chargers useless. The charging contacts have been moved from the back to the left side of the watch that has two charging contacts and there are NO charging contacts on the backside whatsoever.

One good thing is that, the watch will charge about 25% faster. Additionally, Pixel watch 4 will be easier to repair than previous all 3 watches.
