Google Pixel 10 rumours: Expected to come with Tensor G5 chip, up to 16GB RAM, Android 16, third telephoto camera, and more

Google Pixel 10 rumours: With rumours that the base model would get a third telephoto lens, Google's upcoming Pixel 10 series is creating a lot of excitement and finding a daring mix between hardware diversity and AI-driven capabilities. The smartphone is anticipated to emerge in August along with non-Pro models that feature cutting-edge AI advancements driven by Google's next-generation Tensor G5 CPU.
It is rumoured to appear in eye-catching colours like Ultra Blue, Iris, Limoncello, and Midnight. The Pixel 10 is expected to provide an exceptional photography and editing experience with features including gimbal-level video stabilization, enhanced Night Sight, and on-device creative tools like "Speak-to-Tweak" and "Video Boost." This is one of Google's most anticipated smartphone debuts to date since all indications suggest the company is heavily relying on AI innovation and design flair.
Google Pixel 10 series launch timeline
The Pixel 10 series will likely make its debut on August 20 and go on sale by August 28. Google has not yet verified these details, though.
Google Pixel 10 expected specifications
An Android Headlines story claims that the Pixel 10 series will have better speakers. But it's still unclear exactly what the improvement would be. However, according to rumours, Google is not using Dolby Atmos on the Pixel 10. Notably, excellent speakers have always been a characteristic of Pixel devices.
The regular Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL will probably be released by Google in August.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL may have a 6.8-inch AMOLED panel with a maximum brightness of 2,700 nits, while the base model and the Pro variant are rumoured to have a 6.3-inch AMOLED display.
The next-generation Tensor G5 processor and up to 16GB of RAM are expected to be included in all three phones. With seven years of OS and security upgrades, they might be running Android 16.
The new AI features unveiled at Google I/O 2025 will also be included in the smartphones.
There are rumours that the basic Pixel 10 will get a third telephoto lens. However, the camera hardware from the previous year will probably be included in the Pro models, along with some software upgrades and AI capabilities.
According to reports, Google plans to abandon the Obsidian and Porcelain colour options it typically uses for the Pixel 10 series this year. Instead, the pro models would have Sterling Grey, Light Porcelain, Midnight, and Smoky Green colour options, while the basic Pixel 10 might come in Ultra Blue, Limoncello, Iris, and Midnight.

16 billion passwords compromised, says report; have you changed yours?

A massive breach has exposed over 16 billion usernames and passwords from platforms like Google, Apple, Facebook, and more. The leak raises serious cybersecurity concerns, prompting urgent calls for stronger passwords, two-factor authentication, and regular dark web exposure checks. read more A staggering 16 billion usernames and passwords have been exposed in what experts are calling the largest-ever database of stolen credentials. The trove of compromised data includes login details from major platforms such as Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram, GitHub and even government services, raising alarms over the global state of digital security. Cybersecurity researchers say the breach stems from a collection of 30 massive datasets, each holding tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records. The information, mostly acquired through infostealing malware, appears to be freshly leaked, with nearly all of the datasets previously unreported except for one earlier disclosure of 184 million passwords by researcher Jeremiah Fowler, according to a new investigation by Cybernews. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Most of these credentials are structured as URLs followed by usernames and passwords, and they cover virtually every type of online service imaginable,' said Vilius Petkauskas, a Cybernews analyst who has been investigating the leak since the beginning of the year. The scale of this breach surpasses previous incidents, including last year's so-called 'Mother of All Breaches' which exposed 26 billion records. While it's unclear whether some of the leaked data might have been repackaged from earlier incidents, researchers insist that this leak is largely new. Lawrence Pingree, vice president at cybersecurity firm Dispersive, explained that such datasets are often circulated and resold on the dark web—sometimes bundled with other leaks, sometimes offered piecemeal. 'Whether it's a repackaged leak or not, 16 billion records is a huge number,' Pingree said. 'This kind of data is valuable precisely because it is so often misused.' The breach underscores how widespread the threat of credential theft has become, with attackers targeting social media platforms, corporate portals, developer tools, and VPN services alike. In response, experts urge users to adopt better security hygiene. Basic protections include running antivirus scans to detect infostealers, checking dark web exposure via tools like Google One's 'Dark Web Report,' and crucially, using strong and unique passwords for every service.

Alphabet's Google tries to appease EU with changes to search result rankings: Report

Alphabet's Google has reportedly put forward additional concessions to address concerns raised by European Union regulators, aiming to avoid a significant antitrust fine under the bloc's new digital competition rules. According to documents reviewed byReuters, the U.S. tech giant is attempting to appease the European Commission by adjusting how rival services are displayed in its search results. The move comes in response to formal charges filed three months ago, accusing Google of favouring its own platforms, such as Google Shopping, Hotels, and Flights at the expense of competitors, in violation of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). You may be interested in The DMA, which came into force earlier this year, outlines strict obligations for so-called 'gatekeeper' platforms to curb anti-competitive behaviour and offer consumers broader choices. Under Google's revised proposal, a selected vertical search service (VSS), chosen based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria would be prominently featured in its own dedicated box at the top of the results page. This box would mirror the design and features of Google's own modules and contain three direct links to offerings in categories like hotels, restaurants, transport, and airlines. Other VSS providers would still be listed further down in the search results, but would not benefit from a similarly prominent display unless users click to access them. Despite the proposal, the company has maintained that it disagrees with the Commission's preliminary conclusions. 'We do not agree with the (Commission's) preliminary findings' position but, on a without prejudice basis, we want to find a workable solution to resolve the present proceedings,' the documents noted. The European Commission has scheduled a meeting on 8 July to gather feedback from competing firms. Several of Google's rivals, who declined to be named ahead of the discussion, expressed scepticism over the effectiveness of the proposed changes. They argue that the measures still fall short of delivering a genuinely level playing field. The outcome of these negotiations could set a crucial precedent for how Big Tech operates under the EU's ambitious digital regulatory framework. (With inputs from Reuters)
