Smartphone design is still evolving slowly, but the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL clearly distinguishes itself from the Pixel 8 Pro with a flat frame and a redesigned camera module. A concept design shows how Google could go one big step further with the Pixel 10 Pro.

Google has already significantly modernized the design of its flagship smartphone, the Pixel 9 Pro, and may repeat the same strategy with the successor. According to the latest leaks, the Pixel 10 Pro retains the horizontal camera module of the current top model. A concept video from 4RMD now shows what the Pixel 10 Pro could look like if Google were to carry out a somewhat more aggressive redesign.

The highlight is the vertical camera module, which is located in the middle. This is reminiscent of the much larger, centrally positioned camera module of the Sony Xperia 1 VI. The camera module has three cameras in the typical Pixel traffic light pattern, an LED flash and a large Google logo. As is usual with imaginary concepts rather than a leaked design, the Pixel 10 Pro is also shown with extremely thin screen edges. 


The display houses a fingerprint sensor discreetly integrated into the panel and a punch-hole front camera in the middle, which is smaller than on the Pixel 9 Pro. The back and the metal frame are shown in white, black, red and blue. The concept video also includes a feature wish list, including Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, larger 6.4-inch and 6.9-inch displays with a peak HDR brightness of 4,000 nits, a larger 5,300 mAh battery with 45 watt fast charging and improved cameras.

These include a 64 MP main camera, a 64 MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 64 MP periscope telephoto camera, which would ideally be capable of 50x zoom in conjunction with digital magnification. The Tensor G5 ARM chip is also mentioned, although past leaks have already revealed a number of details here. The specs mentioned are just a wish list from the concept artist; it remains to be seen whether the Pixel 10 Pro will actually receive such upgrades. Either way, the Pixel 10 series is expected to launch in summer 2025.
