In related news to Google’s Pixel devices, the brand’s upcoming Pixel 10 series’ camera specs were leaked recently. These suggest that the base Pixel 10 will get both an upgrade and downgrade in the optics segment. On the other hand, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will both have setups that remain largely unchanged from their predecessors.
The Pixel 10 will use a triple rear camera system which is an upgrade over past year’s base model Pixels. The third sensor will be an 11MP Samsung 3J1 telephoto sensor which is a first for a vanilla model Pixel. However, the other two sensors, namely the primary and ultra-wide angle ones, have been downgraded over the Pixel 9’s camera sensors.
