With Apple, Samsung, and OnePlus releasing their initial rounds of new phones for 2025, attention is shifting to Google, which is expected to announce the Pixel 10 series in the coming months. Today, we have the first leaked images of one of these upcoming devices.
Images of the Pixel 10 Pro XL have been revealed courtesy of Android Headlines. This phone features a 6.8-inch display and is expected to resemble its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro XL. The leaked dimensions indicate that the new model will measure 162.7 x 76.6 x 8.5 mm, reflecting only a 0.1 mm difference in height compared to the existing model.
As with the current lineup, we anticipate introducing four phones in the upcoming Pixel series: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Google is expected to reveal a budget-priced Pixel 9a next week.
Little is known about the upcoming Pixel 10 series, but we do know that each model will feature a Tensor G5 chip and will come with Android 16 pre-installed. A new feature called “Pixel Sense,” an on-device Google AI assistant.
As we reported earlier, Pixel Sense has been developing for a while. Its main feature allows apps to provide contextual answers to questions, including those that involve personal data. Since everything is processed on-device, this information will never be sent to Google’s servers.
Last year, Google launched the Pixel 9 series in August. A similar timeline is anticipated for the Pixel 10 series, though an earlier launch is possible.
Already this year, the smartphone space has seen significant additions. In addition to the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R, the Apple iPhone 16e and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series have arrived.

Google now offers Pixel warranties on par with Apple Care+
If you have a tendency to drop your Pixel, then Google’s latest warranty plan is right up your alley. Google is offering a two-year, single-payment Preferred Care plan specifically for Pixel phones, an option that was previously only available to Fitbit devices. Until now, the extended warranty was a monthly payment.
The new plan is available for the Pixel 7 forward, as well as the Pixel tablet and Pixel Watch 2 and 3. Here’s a breakdown of the price:

Pixel 9a leaks keep coming, as plastic-backed phone caught on video
Over the weekend, a video leaked that showcased the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Although the video was quickly removed, some viewers noticed that a Google Pixel 9a handset also appeared.
Images captured from the video (via Android Headlines) show a handset resembling earlier renders of the upcoming budget smartphone. However, there is an important distinction between the two leaks. While previous leaks (and renders) suggested that the new model might have a slightly more premium feel than its predecessors, the latest leak confirms that the device will utilize plastic again, similar to the Pixel 8a. It will most likely have a matte finish.

Here’s your first proper look at the Nothing 3a, it’s more unusual than ever
If you’re looking for a smartphone that stands out and grabs attention, you might want to steer clear of the iPhone 16e or the Galaxy S25 Ultra. While these new models from Apple and Samsung, respectively, are bound to be popular and sell quickly, their designs are strikingly similar to previous versions. In contrast, the products from London-based company Nothing always offer a fresh and distinct look—year after year.
Though we’ve recently heard more about the Nothing (3a) phone, Wallpaper* recently got a hands-on look at the phone that launches alongside the Nothing (3a) Pro next week. It found a company that is always looking for a new look with each passing release. As Adam Bates, Nothing’s Global Design Director, explains, though the (Nothing) (2a) “got it just right,” the company is always looking to offer “something fresh and exciting.” As such, the company is always “taking a new approach for each (new handset).”
