engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-19 04:16:48

While I wasn’t expecting a major design shakeup, Google revealed the design of its new Pixel phone, almost a month before the official launch event. You can take a look for yourself on the front page of the Google Store. A short video teaser reveals one of the upcoming Pixel 10 smartphones. The device bears a similar appearance to the Pixel 9, with a back design that makes the camera unit protrude from the frame, similar to the Pixel 9 Pro. Oh, and an additional camera — if this is the base Pix
