The information about Google Pixel 10 is gradually becoming clear. According to the leaked details, the basic model is going back in the camera hardware. The main and ultra -wide cameras of the Pixel 10 will be the same as the sensors in the affordable Pixel 9A. This means a structure behind last year’s Pixel 9 in terms of camera quality.
Although Pixel 9A’s camera hardware is sufficient for daily use, it offers limited performance compared to the flagship segment. Supported by software for image processing, these sensors have lower technical values than the sensors used in Pixel 9. However, Google may be trying to shape the user experience through software while simplifying the hardware with this preference. This approach seems to be part of a strategy that relys on software rather than hardware.
In addition, there is another new detail in Pixel 10: Telephoto Camera. This type of camera, which was previously found only in Pro models, seems to be included in the basic model for the first time. This change can be functional, especially for users who want to view distant objects clearly. Telephoto lens, landscape and portrait shooting, providing flexibility, Pixel 10’s camera system will give a new dimension.
But how much can the existence of Telephoto lens compensate for the quality decrease in the main camera sensor, for now, for now. Users may feel a decrease in general camera experience. Because the expectation on flagship phones is not only in diversity, but also in terms of quality. It should not be forgotten that camera performance is one of the most important elements affecting general perception.
On the Pixel 10 Pro facade, there is a more stable picture. According to Android Authority, the camera hardware used in the Pixel 9 Pro will be preserved. In this case, a significant hardware difference in image quality is not expected. However, the performance increase can be achieved with the contribution of the Tensor G5 processor.
The new Tensor G5 chip is expected to have more advanced abilities especially in artificial intelligence -supported image processing. In this way, even if the hardware does not change, better results can be achieved with software power. With such improvements, Google may be aiming to remove the photo experience from being dependent on hardware. It is now known that the visual processing power is directly linked to the processor.
Google Pixel also prepares the 10 pro fold model
In addition, the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold is on the agenda. The design of this device will be largely similar to the previous Fold model. On the camera side, the main sensor of Pixel 9A is expected to be used. Despite the foldable structure, a choice in the equipment at this level may be an approach that prioritizes the cost balance.
Last year, the Pixel 9 series was introduced in August. Google seems likely to choose a similar timing this year. On the other hand, Pixel 9A’s promotional date was determined as April 10. Following this presentation, more leaks about the Pixel 10 series are expected to come.
Camera changes seem to be one of the most important factors to shape the reaction of the user audience. In particular, the addition of the telephoto camera to the basic model stands out as a positive development, while the decrease in the main camera quality can create question marks. Google’s effort to balance the software will be tested directly with the end user experience. All these developments can directly affect the overall perception and sales performance of Pixel 10.
