Is this just another boring upgrade or are there hidden improvements that make a difference?
Google’s most anticipated big-screen flagship, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, is right around the corner, but what new features will it bring? And should Pixel 9 Pro XL owners upgrade?
The Pixel 10 series will get officially unveiled on August 20th, but Google has already revealed design photos of the new phones, and numerous leaks and rumors have already given away many of the details.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL is coming with a new Tensor chip, now made by TSMC, and it is projected to finally have Qi2 wireless magnetic charging. The base price of the Pixel 10 Pro XL will also now be $1,200, but that is because Google will no longer sell a 128 GB base model of the phone and switch to a new 256 GB base storage configuration. Curious about the rest? Read on.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL will keep mostly the same design style as its predecessor.
That means a flat screen, flat sides, an aluminum body construction and a glass back.
The only thing Google has changed is the weight of the phone, which is now slightly heavier at 232 grams (5% heavier than before), likely because of the bigger battery inside.
The same IP68 water and dust protection is on board and there are no new physical buttons, in case you were wondering.
Color-wise, expect to see the following options on the Pixel 10 Pro XL:
Obsidian (Black)
Porcelain (White)
Moonstone (Gray with some blue in it)
Jade (Gentle pistachio green shade paired with a subtle gold frame)
Display Differences
Google set the bar high last year with the high quality display on the 9 Pro XL. This year, however, we expect no big changes: the same 6.8-inch screen size, same Super Actua brand name with 120Hz refresh rate, and – best of all – same amazing 3,000 nits of peak brightness, higher than all other phones we have tested.
We are yet to hear if there will be some changes to the screen or if it will absolutely the same as before.
