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 — 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 “Qi2 Wireless Charging” support, and others detailing a new “Pixelsnap” ecosystem of accessories that leverages magnets. “Pixelsnap” is said to include a “Charger,” “Ring Stand,” and “Charger with Stand.” Google’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: Samsung has removed Bootloader Unlocking Option with OneUI 8 builds

It's sad but the truth is that Samsung has removed the bootloader unlocking option on OneUI 8 builds, on both stable and beta builds.

Additionally, OneUI 8 internal firmware for Galaxy S23 Ultra and S22 Ultra relock your bootloader if it's unlocked.

I asked my friends for confirmation and they confirmed that the bootloader unlocking option is indeed gone from all OneUI 8 builds of any device, be it S25, S25 Ultra, Z Fold etc.

BREAKING: Samsung Exynos 2600 Benchmarked

Samsung Exynos 2600 engineering sample has surfaced on Geekbench, manufactured by Samsung Foundry on its 2nm process and it may power the Galaxy S26 series.

CPU:
• 1x Cortex- X930 @ 3.55GHz
• 3x Cortex- A730 @ 2.96GHz
• 6x Cortex- A730 2.46GHz

Thus, a deca-core chip of 1+3+6 configuration. The most interesting part is that, all the cores are either medium or high performance cores, thus Exynos 2600 will completely ditch the useless little cores.

Geekbench 6.4 scores
Single-core: 2810
Multi-core: 9310

Samsung Exynos 2600 will feature the Samsung Xclipse 960 GPU. The GPU performance has also been benchmarked on OpenCL

OpenCL score: 21104
Vulkan version: 1.4.304

Interestingly, the OpenCL results shows that there are just 4CU (compute units) and the GPU was running at 555MHz clock speed. Meanwhile, the Xclipse 950 in the Exynos 2500 GPU has 8 CU and it runs at 1GHz clock speed.

Note: Nothing is final as of now as it is quite an early sample being benchmarked and it's likely tested in a controlled environment. Also, it's unknown if Exynos 2600 will debut or not because it depends upon Samsung Foundry's yield improvements.
