Google Pixel 10 Series: Leaks Surface Ahead of Launch
With the highly anticipated Made by Google event on August 20th drawing near, leaks surrounding the Google Pixel 10 series are intensifying. A recent report indicates that a promotional banner briefly appeared on the Google Play Store, potentially revealing the entire Pixel 10 lineup. Separately, leaked dimensions offer insights into possible ergonomic changes in the upcoming devices.
Play Store Banner Reveals Potential Models
According to reports, a promotional banner showcasing the Pixel 10 series was spotted on the Google Play Store. The banner seemingly confirms previous rumors of four distinct models:
- Pixel 10
- Pixel 10 Pro
- Pixel 10 Pro XL
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold
The banner displayed three of the phones in a grey color, speculated to be marketed as “Moonstone.” The standard Pixel 10 was also shown in a deep blue shade, potentially named “Indigo.”
Accidental Reveal and Promotional Offer
The appearance of the banner with the text “Now Available” suggests it was prematurely published on the Play Store. The banner also detailed a potential promotional offer: a $50 credit towards Pixel 10 purchases through the Play Store, subject to specific terms and conditions. The offer’s listed deadline of October 13th implies a roughly 20-day window for the promotion.
Google Pixel 10 Dimensions: A Shift in Design?
Leaked dimensions of the Google Pixel 10 series suggest a notable design shift. Contrary to the trend of increasingly thinner smartphones, the Pixel 10 models are rumored to be slightly thicker and heavier than their predecessors.
