Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 series is set to bring several key changes under the hood, including the transition to the Tensor G5 chipset produced by TSMC and a switch from Samsung’s foundry modems to the MediaTek T900 modem. This marks the end of Exynos modem use in the Pixel lineup.
Despite the modem switch, a teardown of Google’s Adaptive Connectivity Services app confirms that the Pixel 10 phones will retain their satellite SOS emergency capabilities. The code reveals that the Pixel 10 (codename GLBW0), Pixel 10 Pro (G4QUR), and Pixel 10 Pro XL (GUL82) will continue to support satellite connectivity, ensuring safety features remain intact. While the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is not currently listed, it may be included in future updates.
Color options for the Pixel 10 series have also leaked. The base Pixel 10 will be available in Obsidian, Blue, Iris, and Limoncello, while the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL models come in Obsidian, Green, Sterling, and Porcelain variants, offering a diverse palette to suit different tastes.
Pricing details indicate the Pixel 10 starts at $699 (around HK$5,442), the Pixel 10 Pro at $899 (approx. HK$7,020), and the Pixel 10 Pro XL at $999 (about HK$7,782).
The Pixel 10 series is shaping up to deliver refined performance and connectivity while maintaining important emergency features, making it a promising option in the premium smartphone market.
