Besides a rumor revealing the likely event date, an early prototype of the Google Pixel 10 Pro has leaked today.
As reshared by Mystic Leaks from a Chinese social media platform called “coolapk,” this is a “DVT1.0” (Design Verification Test) prototype of the “Pixel 10 Pro.” We see the Settings > About phone > Model page that’s pre-Material 3 Expressive. Other screenshots show it is running Android 16 and not QPR1.
There are a handful of small changes from the Pixel 9 Pro, starting with how the USB-C port at the bottom is now flanked by identical cutouts. Like past Pixel phones, one should be the bottom-firing speaker while the other is for the microphone.
Google has moved the SIM card tray to the top left edge. It occupies the 9 Pro’s antenna cutout and is really quite wide. That top shot also gives us an ideal about the Pixel 10 Pro’s thickness. It’s unclear if the main body is thinner, but the camera bar looks thicker than what we have today.
Meanwhile, the face of the camera bar has the same general design, but the cover glass looks to go closer to the edge. (For comparison, the cover image at the top of the page is of the Pixel 9 Pro.) There is just a sliver of metal on the perimeter. Further down, we see the pattern that Google uses to identify prototypes.
An app provides some specs, including the “blazer” codename, 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. We get a look at the “Tensor G5” with its core configuration:
- 2x Cortex-A520
- 3x Cortex-A725
- 2x Cortex-A725
- 1x Cortex-X4
However, Mystic Leaks points out how the “5 nm” entry should be wrong as we’re expecting the Tensor G5 to be built on a 3nm process. Meanwhile, the modem is “g5400i” which would again suggest Samsung Exynos rather than MediaTek, which was previously rumored.
