Just a month after the release of the Google Pixel 9 line, the tech world is already buzzing with news about the highly anticipated Google Pixel 10 series. Recent leaks have revealed the codenames for the four upcoming models, giving us a glimpse into what to expect from Google’s next flagship smartphones.
According to Android Headlines, the Google Pixel 10 is codenamed ‘Frankel’, the Pixel 10 Pro is known as ‘Blazer’, the Pixel 10 Pro XL goes by ‘Mustang’, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is codenamed ‘Rango’. Interestingly, these codenames seem to be inspired by horses, hinting at speed and performance. However, it’s best not to read too deeply into these names as they might just be playful references.
The most significant takeaway from these leaks is the confirmation of four Pixel 10 models, following the same pattern as this year’s lineup. The inclusion of the Pixel 10 Pro is particularly noteworthy, considering the introduction of the compact Pixel 9 Pro was unexpected. With the absence of a Pixel 10 XL, it seems like those looking for a larger screen might have to opt for the Pro XL variant.
While the Pixel 10 Pro XL is likely on the horizon, it’s disappointing that Google may not offer a more budget-friendly big-screen option for consumers. The Pixel 10 series is shaping up to offer a range of choices for users, catering to various preferences and budgets.
In addition to the Pixel 10 codenames, reports also suggest that the Google Pixel 9a is codenamed Tegu, a type of lizard. This aligns with previous leaks and reinforces the upcoming release of Google’s more budget-friendly smartphone. The Pixel 9a is expected to debut at Google I/O 2025 in May, while the Pixel 10 series is anticipated to launch later in August, adding to the excitement and anticipation for Google enthusiasts.
As we eagerly wait for the official unveiling of the Google Pixel 10 lineup, it’s clear that Google is gearing up to deliver another set of innovative and high-performing smartphones. Stay tuned for more updates and details on these exciting new devices.
