While Google’s Pixel 10 series is shaping up to bring some exciting upgrades, a fresh report suggests that not everything will be a step forward—at least for the base model.
According to Android Headlines, the standard Pixel 10 could miss out on several important features, including vapour chamber cooling, Wi-Fi 7, and even ultra-stable video recording. These omissions might leave some fans underwhelmed, especially when compared to what last year’s models offered.
What Might Be Missing in the Pixel 10?
Let’s start with performance. The vapour chamber cooling system, which helps keep the phone running smoothly under heavy loads like gaming or multitasking, is reportedly not included in the regular Pixel 10. This continues a trend from last year—Pixel 9 Pro had it, but the regular Pixel 9 didn’t.
Then comes a surprising potential downgrade: no Wi-Fi 7 support. That’s a big deal, especially since Pixel 9 already supports the faster, more efficient Wi-Fi standard. If this report holds true, it could feel like a step backward in connectivity.
As for the camera, there’s some good news and bad news. The Pixel 10 is expected to feature an improved triple rear camera setup with a telephoto lens, plus better audio and enhanced video stabilization. However, the “ultra-stable video” feature—likely useful for action shots and smoother footage—is reportedly not coming to the standard model.
Pro Model Could Get Exclusive Zoom Feature
The report also mentions an intriguing new addition called “Ultra Res Zoom”, which is said to be a significant upgrade over the current Super Res Zoom. While Super Res Zoom offers up to 8x zoom, this new version could go well beyond that—but it may be exclusive to the Pixel 10 Pro.
Design-wise, the Pixel 10 is expected to follow in its predecessor’s footsteps, with matte sides and a glossy back, staying true to the clean, minimal aesthetic Google is known for.
When Can We Expect the Pixel 10?
While Google hasn’t officially confirmed the dates, reports point to a Made by Google event on August 20, with devices expected to hit shelves a week later, on August 28. Under the hood, the phones are likely to run on Google’s new Tensor G5 chipset, marking another generation of custom silicon.
Final Thoughts
The Pixel 10 series could still be an impressive update—especially if the Pro model gets all the rumored goodies—but the base model’s omissions may disappoint those looking for cutting-edge performance and features across the lineup. For now, we’ll have to wait for Google to lift the curtain in August.
