Pixel 10 series leaks are here, brought us by @OnLeaks on behalf of Android Headlines:

The Pixel 10 series will be the first to use the new Tensor G5 which is expected to be manufactured by TSMC. Google had previously been using Samsung Foundry to manufacture their chipsets for Pixel, and it showed. Google had problems with overheating, the processor was pretty slow, and the modem was bad too. However, Google did fix the modem and mostly fixed the overheating issues with the Tensor G4 on the Pixel 9 series.

We are expecting some big gains in terms of performance on the Tensor G5, however, we also have to keep in mind that this chipset is being built specifically for the Pixel. Google is going to prefer AI performance over raw performance.

The Tensor G5 seems to be the main focus on the Pixel 10 this year. Since the external design doesn’t seem to be changing much, besides adding an additional speaker grill to the bottom of the device shown in the CAD renders, internal hardware, performance, and software could be where we get the most refinement. I’m perfectly fine with Google not changing the design this year. If the Pixel 9 is the design they’ll sit on for a couple of year (read as 3), I’m happy with that. Pixel 9 series is beautiful.

However, I had a conversation with one of my IRL friends about some nice things Google should add to the Pixel 10. I’d welcome all of them as long as it doesn’t raise the price by much. Maybe $50 would let me depart with my hard-earned money. Anything north of that, I might be holding onto my Pixel 9 Pro.
