With the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL expected to launch soon, the tech world is buzzing with leaks and speculation. Below are a collection of rumours surrounding the Pixel 10 XL.


Sleek Display and Durable Design

The Pixel 10 Pro XL is said to come with a large 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display, offering a dynamic refresh rate between 1Hz and 120Hz. Brightness is expected to peak at an impressive 3,000 nits, making it one of the brightest displays on a Pixel phone. Both the front and back are likely to be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, giving it excellent scratch and drop resistance.


Powering the Pixel: Tensor G5 on 3nm

At the heart of the Pixel 10 Pro XL is the all-new Tensor G5 chipset, reportedly built on TSMC’s advanced 3nm process. This should bring major gains in efficiency, thermal control, and AI processing. Alongside that, expect 16GB of RAM—a boost from previous generations—and storage options ranging from 256GB to 1TB. It looks like the entry-level 128GB option might be phased out for this model.


Battery and Charging: Big and Fast

Battery life should see a meaningful upgrade with a 5,200mAh battery, the largest ever in a Pixel device. Leaks point to 39W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging, now updated to support the Qi2 magnetic charging standard for improved compatibility with newer accessories.


Cameras: Refined, Not Reinvented

The Pixel 10 Pro XL isn’t expected to bring a major overhaul to the camera system, but that might not be a bad thing. The rear setup will likely include a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultrawide, and a 48MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. While the hardware remains familiar, refinements to lens quality and improved light capture are anticipated. The 42MP front camera is expected to stay unchanged, continuing its strong selfie performance.


Android 16 and AI Everywhere

Out of the box, the Pixel 10 Pro XL will run on Android 16, bringing with it a suite of new AI-powered features. Rumored software tools include Pixel Sense, Magic Cue, and a new assistant feature called Gemini Space. There’s also talk of a “Speak-to-Tweak” feature for real-time voice-assisted editing, pointing to Google doubling down on on-device AI.


Pricing and Launch Date

The Pixel 10 Pro XL is rumoured to debut at a starting price of US$1,199 for the 256GB model, with the top-end 1TB version possibly hitting US$1,549. The official unveiling should be made at Google’s annual “Made by Google” event.
