Google Pixel 10 Pro Prototype Leak Reveals Tensor G5 Specs, Refined Design & AI Features

Just hours after two credible sources reportedly confirmed the Google Pixel 10 series launch date, a new leak from Mystic Leaks has provided a deeper look at what could be the first real prototype of the Google Pixel 10 Pro. The device, labelled as a DVT1.0 (Design Verification Test) unit, appears in a series of newly surfaced images that showcase subtle but notable design changes alongside early details about the Tensor G5 chip.
Subtle but Smart Hardware Revisions
Though not a radical redesign, the Pixel 10 Pro makes some minor but meaningful design shifts compared to its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro. One immediate difference is the relocation of the SIM card tray to the top-left edge, taking over the space previously reserved for antenna lines. This move appears to be part of an effort to streamline the device's profile.
At the bottom of the phone, Google has now symmetrically flanked the USB-C port with two identical speaker grill cutouts—likely one for audio and the other for the microphone. The camera bar, which has become iconic for the Pixel lineup, now extends slightly more toward the edge of the device with minimal metal bordering, giving it a sleeker appearance. Interestingly, despite rumors of the Pixel 10 Pro using the same camera hardware as the Pixel 9 Pro, the bar appears slightly thicker, suggesting a thinner overall chassis or a design shift for improved thermal or optical performance.
The unit shown is running an early beta of Android 16, and the About Phone section confirms the model as “Pixel 10 Pro,” sporting 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The UI is still based on pre-Material You 3.0 styling, indicating it’s an engineering prototype rather than a near-final build.
Tensor G5: First Real Look at Google’s Next-Gen Silicon
The leaks also offer the clearest picture yet of the Tensor G5, which is set to power the Pixel 10 Pro. According to the prototype’s diagnostics app, the G5 processor features the following CPU core configuration:
- 1x ARM Cortex-X4 (Prime Core)
- 5x Cortex-A725 (Performance Cores)
- 2x Cortex-A520 (Efficiency Cores)
This structure marks a departure from previous Tensor generations, suggesting Google is pushing for higher efficiency and multi-core performance with this generation.
Despite an app listing the chip as manufactured on a “5nm” node, insiders suggest that this is outdated or incorrect data—Tensor G5 is widely expected to be built on a 3nm process, marking Google's first major leap in node shrinkage since the original Tensor's debut.
Accompanying the SoC is a modem labeled “g5400i”, which indicates ongoing reliance on Samsung Exynos modem technology. This contradicts earlier rumors hinting at a possible switch to MediaTek or even custom modem development.

A Focus on AI and Software Over Hardware
Hardware upgrades appear to be modest, which aligns with earlier reports that the Pixel 10 Pro will center its marketing around AI advancements, not raw hardware overhauls. The Tensor G5 is expected to be deeply integrated with Google’s new generation of AI features, including:
- 4K slow-motion video recording at 120 fps
- Native 8K recording at 30 fps, with smart AI-based editing tools
- Enhanced on-device translation
- Improved AI photography and Night Sight performance
Expected Launch and What Comes Next
The Google Pixel 10 series is expected to debut later this year, with an official announcement likely coming in October 2025, based on Google’s traditional launch schedule. The recent leaks, however, confirm that testing and hardware validation are well underway.
With a refined design, next-gen Tensor chip, and deeper AI integration, the Pixel 10 Pro is shaping up to be a meaningful—if evolutionary—step forward for Google’s flagship line.
