It’s still early days in the Pixel 10 leak cycle: besides a major specs leak about the Tensor G5 and G6, we haven’t even seen any leaked CAD models. But it won’t be long before more information trickles out. The first Pixel 10 case has appeared in the wild, offering some clues regarding the design of Pixel 9’s successor.

This really came as a surprise. Sonny Dickson, the X user usually known for Apple leaks, has shared an initial image of a phone case allegedly designed to fit the Pixel 9’s successor (see below). It is anyone’s guess whether this is real or not. Although we are currently unable to verify this, the leaker has a good reputation at least in the Apple community. It remains to be seen whether his Google leaks are just as reliable.

At any rate, the case looks very similar to those intended for the Pixel 9 (for comparison, here is the official cases for the Google Pixel 9 and 9 Pro on Amazon). The upper quarter of the case features a large horizontal cutout for the camera visor, which has always seen some slight change in appearance over the previous few Pixel generations. The case design suggests that the general Pixel camera design is going to stay the same. However, this naturally doesn’t reveal any details regarding potential changes in features. 

Additionally, the leak suggests that the Pixel 10’s chassis will continue to sport rounded corners. Not much else can be gleaned from this leak right now. Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that some third-party company is brazen enough to “think up” a Pixel 10 without solid basis. It is certainly unusual for pictures of a finished case to make the rounds before leakers like @OnLeaks provide their CAD-based renderings. Perhaps this marks the start of further design leaks for the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro in the upcoming weeks.
