Google could be adding an extra camera to the base model Pixel 10, according to renders from leaker OnLeaks published by Android Headlines. The images show that the Pixel 10 looks nearly identical to the Pixel 9, but with a wider pane of glass on the rear camera bar that hints at a third rear camera.
The outlet writes that the phone “will have a triple rear camera, according to the CADs that Onleaks is working off of.” In an email to The Verge, the article’s writer, Alexander Maxham, said that it “looks to be a very small periscope telephoto.” The Pixel 9 has rear main and ultrawide cameras but lacks the telephoto found on the back of its Pro counterparts.
Otherwise, it doesn’t seem like much is changing. Android Headlines says that it appears the Pixel 10 will get just 0.1mm thicker than the Pixel 9 and keep the 6.3-inch screen and matte finish sides found on its predecessor. It sounds like the coming Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL phones won’t be changing much on the outside either, with both getting a hair thicker than their Pixel 9 counterparts, according to separate leaks from Android Headlines.
Android Headlines notes in both Pixel 10 Pro model stories that the new phones are expected to get Google’s Tensor G5 chip, manufactured by chipmaker TSMC. The new chip is expected to be more powerful — a previous rumor suggested they may be able to run Stable Diffusion locally — and Android Headlines says it will be less prone to overheating than the Pixel 9 series phones.
