A Fresh Look Pixel 10 (With a Familiar Feel)
The Pixel 10 series keeps the sleek, modern design of the Google Pixel 9—think flat edges, slim bezels, and that iconic pill-shaped camera bar. The back glass is a tad thicker this time (the Pixel 10 measures 152.8 x 72.0 x 8.6mm), and the SIM tray has moved to the top edge for a subtle refresh.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold even upgrades from IPX8 to IP68, making it a sturdier foldable.
