The Google Pixel series at a glance.

If you're looking for an everyday use phone that balances features and price, Pixel 9a is a fantastic starting point.  But perhaps you’re familiar with the Pixel A-Series, and you’re looking for even more features without breaking the bank. Pixel 10 is for you. It not only keeps up but even helps you get ahead, making daily tasks smoother and capturing memories more beautifully.

Imagine effortlessly navigating your day with the latest Google AI right at your fingertips. Magic Cue can simplify your digital life by anticipating and proactively suggesting relevant info and helpful actions2, while sharing your camera in Gemini Live can offer real-time assistance – say, if you’re trying to learn how to use the smart home device you just bought and need live visual guidance3. Pixel 10 makes these, and many more, advanced AI tools accessible.

If you love what Pixel 10 offers, but you’re someone who craves the cutting edge and wants maximum performance with a truly premium look and feel, then upgrading to Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 Pro XL is your next move. Not only does Pixel 10 Pro offer the brightest display in its class, it also features the biggest battery yet, with advanced camera features only available on Pro – like 100x zoom and super steady videos in 8K with Video Boost4.

And if you’re looking for even more technology that helps you stand out and achieve more, you can do more with Pixel 10 Pro Fold that is coming soon. It delivers our smoothest, fastest experiences in your most demanding apps, with Google’s most advanced AI, all on a foldable display. Inside, you get a massive 8-inch Super Actua Flex display, ready to help you enjoy immersive entertainment and find your flow with masterful multitasking. Outside, there’s a 6.4-inch Actua display that looks and feels great in your hand. And both screens are brighter than ever5.

Design + displays: a window to your world.

With its improved architecture and more durable display, Pixel 9a is Google’s most durable A-Series phone yet. The 6.3" Actua display is bigger, brighter, and has better scratch resistance compared to Pixel 8a19.

The Super Actua display on Pixel 10 Pro is 10% brighter than the Pixel 9 series – our brightest yet, making it easy to see your screen, even in direct sunlight5,6,7. And with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz on all our latest phone models, you’ll get super smooth scrolling and switching between apps.

Think of the Pro models as your creative studio and command centre, all in one. The Pro design itself speaks volumes, with its luxurious silky matte glass back and polished metal frame, while featuring the brightest display ever on a Pixel. You get a choice of two sizes – a comfortable 6.3-inch display on Pixel 10 Pro or an expansive 6.8-inch display on Pixel 10 Pro XL6 – without any compromise in their pro-level features.

Crafted with our most premium foldable design yet, Pixel 10 Pro Fold (coming soon) features even slimmer bezels and a new gearless, high-strength hinge for 10+ years of foldability9, all with a satisfying hand feel. When folded, it’s a comfortable 6.4-inch device5. Unfolded, it’s an expansive canvas. Imagine unfolding its stunning 8-inch inner Super Actua Flex display for immersive entertainment or to effortlessly manage multiple apps side by side with dynamic Split Screen and drag and drop10. When it’s time to relax, watch YouTube hands-free in tabletop mode, using the folded base as a stand. The large screen makes any content more engaging.

Cameras: your world, brilliantly captured

Google Pixel has earned its reputation for having one of the best smartphone cameras, and for good reason^. It’s not just about the impressive hardware. It’s the seamless integration of that hardware with powerful, AI-driven software that makes every picture a masterpiece.

For life’s picture-perfect (and not-so-perfect) moments, Pixel 9a offers a robust camera setup with its 48MP wide and 13MP ultra-wide lenses, perfect for capturing expansive landscapes and detailed shots. You can also get closer to the action with up to 8x zoom. Pixel 10 introduces the first-ever triple rear camera system on a base-model Pixel. This isn’t just about more lenses. It’s about more capability. The new 5x telephoto lens means you can capture stunning closeups from afar – think of your child scoring a goal or a beautiful architectural detail. Low-light photos are more incredible than ever, so your evening celebrations look as vibrant as they felt. Plus, Camera Coach is ready to help you learn new photography skills11.

The camera is where Pixel 10 Pro truly shines – it’s Pixel’s most advanced yet. Imagine capturing professional-grade portraits with incredible detail and depth, even in tricky lighting, thanks to High Res Portraits. The upgraded 48 MP telephoto lens, combined with Pro Res Zoom, lets you zoom up to 100x, bringing distant subjects into sharp focus11. The 42 MP front camera with its wider field of view is perfect for group selfies or more captivating video calls. This isn’t just a better camera. It’s a tool that unleashes your creativity.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold offers a unique foldable camera experience. Its advanced triple rear camera system comes with exclusive features like Capture and Review, where you can see your picture on one screen while the camera app remains active on the other. Made You Look helps capture smiles, Dual Screen preview lets your subjects see themselves on the outer screen, and hands-free astrophotography becomes even easier in tabletop mode.

Performance and battery

While the Pixel 9a delivers on everyday essentials with its impressive 30+ hour battery life and wireless charging capability up to 7.5W of power, for users who want more power, speed, and storage, the Pixel 10 series is the clear choice - Plus, it has Pixelsnap magnetic technology for effortless wireless charging with up to 2x power than that of Pixel 9a (with Qi2 certified accessories).

If you manage large files or have an extensive media library, Pixel 10 Pro XL offers up to 1 TB of storage. Connectivity is also top tier with UWB and Wi-Fi 7 support. And for an even more integrated AI experience, you get Google AI Pro for a year on us, putting Google’s most capable AI models to work for you15. Battery life keeps up with your demands, with the biggest Pro batteries yet (4870 mAh for Pixel 10 Pro and 5200 mAh for Pixel 10 Pro XL)16. Pixel 10 Pro XL also boasts fast charging – up to 50% in about 30 minutes – using a 30W USB-C® PPS charger or higher14.

Powered by the same Tensor G5 chip and 16 GB of RAM as the Pro models, and also including Google AI Pro for a year on us15, Pixel 10 Pro Fold doesn’t compromise on performance. It packs a 5015 mAh battery and offers up to 1 TB of storage16.
