Pixel 10 Pro: A Sneak Peek from an Unexpected Corner

ChinaTue Jul 08 2025

In the world of tech leaks, surprises often come from the most unexpected places. Recently, images of what seems to be the Google Pixel 10 Pro surfaced on a Chinese auction site. These images show both the front and back of what could be a prototype of the upcoming phone.

Details of the Leak

The seller, who listed a Pixel 10 Pro motherboard, included photos of the phone itself. This is not the first time we've seen hints about the Pixel 10 series. Earlier, leaked renders gave us a glimpse of what to expect. But these new images might be the first real-world photos of the Pixel 10 Pro.

Prototype Identification

The phone in the images has unique patterns on its back cover. These patterns are often used by Google to identify prototypes and prevent leaks. Additionally, the phone's fastboot menu and a sticker below the camera bar mention "DVT," which stands for design validation test. This further supports the idea that the phone is indeed a prototype.

Design and Specifications

The design of the phone matches previous leaks. It also features a periscope lens, which aligns with earlier rumors. As for the specs, the Pixel 10 series is expected to come with the Tensor G5 chipset. This will be the first Tensor chip produced by TSMC.

  • Standard Pixel 10: Triple rear camera setup, including a telephoto lens.
  • Pro models: Expected to have the same camera system as before.

Official Reveal

We might have to wait until August 20 for the official reveal of the Pixel 10 series. Until then, these leaked images give us a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come.

questions

    Could these leaked images be a deliberate strategy by Google to gauge public reaction?
    How do these leaked images compare to the previously released renders of the Pixel 10 Pro?
    Is the mention of 'DVT' on the phone a code for something more sinister?
