While the Pixel 9 series is fresh on the market, Google is already looking ahead to the Pixel 10 series, set to launch sometime in 2025. Android Headlines has revealed the code names for the upcoming lineup, giving us a sneak peek into what to anticipate.
The Pixel 10 series will consist of four models, mirroring the current generation: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Their code names are “Frankel” (Pixel 10), “Blazer” (Pixel 10 Pro), “Mustang” (Pixel 10 Pro XL), and “Rango” (Pixel 10 Pro Fold). Additionally, the upcoming Pixel 9a, expected next spring, is code-named “Tegu.”
While these code names themselves may not offer any clues about the devices, they do confirm Google’s commitment to a few key aspects of the Pixel lineup. Firstly, the continued presence of a smaller Pro model, a rarity in the flagship market as companies like Apple and Samsung shift towards larger screens exclusively. This is great news for users who prefer a more compact flagship experience.
Secondly, Google is doubling down on its foldable phone strategy. The Pixel Fold launched separately in 2023, while the Pixel 9 Pro Fold debuted alongside the other Pixel 9 models this year. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to continue this trend, releasing alongside the rest of the Pixel 10 series.
Beyond the code names, we know that the Pixel 10 series is expected to be powered by the Google Tensor G5 chip. While the Pixel 9 models saw minimal camera upgrades, we anticipate more significant improvements to the camera system in the next generation. Battery life enhancements and support for Qi2 wireless charging are also expected. As usual, new color options will likely be available.
The Pixel 9 series has generally received positive reviews. The Pixel 9 has been praised for its excellent design and build quality, while the Pixel 9 Pro has been lauded for its improved battery life. Our reviewer for the Pixel 9 Pro XL stated it boasts the “best Pixel hardware yet.”
While the specific details remain under wraps, we can expect the Pixel 10 series to arrive sometime late next summer or early fall of 2025. Stay tuned for more news and leaks as we inch closer to the release date.
