A prototype of the Pixel 10 Pro has leaked online, revealing not just the device itself but also its specifications and default sounds, including ringtones. This excitement comes just ahead of a rumored unveiling of the Pixel 10 series, expected on August 13th. A notable change is the transition to the Tensor G5 application processor (AP), which will be exclusively produced by TSMC using their advanced 3nm process.
This marks a departure from previous models that were based on Exynos technology with Google’s custom modifications. Social media posts, particularly from a site called “coolapk,” and reshared by Mystic Leaks, showcased multiple images of the prototype. One such image confirmed that the model is a DVT1.0 (Design Verification Test) prototype powered by the Tensor G5, codenamed “blazer.”
It’s worth noting that a minor error suggested the chip was built using a 5nm process, but it is, in fact, utilizing TSMC’s third-generation 3nm technology. The configuration of the Tensor G5 includes a combination of CPU cores: a prime Cortex-X4 core, two performance-efficiency Cortex-A725 cores, additional efficiency cores, and more. The prototype features 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, running a non-QPR1 version of Android 16.
The modem remains the Exynos 5400 5G modem used in the Pixel 9 series. In terms of design, the rear camera bar has been redesigned, extending closer to the edges of the rear panel compared to previous models, while the thickness of the camera bump has increased. The SIM card tray has also been relocated from the bottom left edge to the top left edge.
With these leaks, anticipation builds for the official launch of the Pixel 10 series and its innovative offerings.
