Google Pixel 10 launched in India : Google’s new flagship smartphone hits the marketGoogle has launched its much-awaited smartphone, the Pixel 10, in India. The starting price of this phone has been kept at ₹ 79,999, which is almost equal to the starting price of Apple’s new iPhone 16 of ₹ 79,900. This time, Google has made it clear that it is adopting a strategy to compete directly with Apple in the premium smartphone segment. The Pixel series has always been known for its great camera and stock Android experience, and Pixel 10 strengthens this tradition even more.
Pixel 9 price reduced – now even more affordable
With the entry of the Pixel 10, Google has cut the price of the Pixel 9. Earlier, while its 128GB variant was selling for ₹ 79,999, it will now be available for ₹ 74,999. This means that now customers have two great options—Pixel 10 with new features or Pixel 9 available at a lower price.
Powerful features and processor of the Pixel 10
Pixel 10 has Google’s new and powerful Tensor G5 chipset (3nm). This chipset not only gives fast performance but also reduces battery consumption. Many AI-based features like Magic Cue and Camera Coach have been included in the phone. Through Magic Cue, users can work smartly with their voice commands, while Camera Coach makes photography easier and helps in taking great shots.
Battery, display and charging
Special care has also been taken of the long-lasting battery and fast charging in the Google Pixel 10. Although the company has not shared the full details of the battery, it is expected that it will get a battery of more than 5000mAh and 30W fast charging support. Also, its display will be even brighter and colourful, making the streaming and gaming experience great.
Direct competition with the iPhone 16
The price at which the Pixel 10 has been launched is equal to the iPhone 16. This move reflects Google’s market strategy, which is to attract premium users to its platform. In terms of camera, Android updates, and AI integration, Pixel 10 gives tough competition to iPhone 16. This phone can become a great option, especially for those who like photography and video recording.
Offers and pre-order benefits
Google has also introduced the Pixel Watch 4 and the Pixel Buds along with the Pixel 10 series. Early customers are being offered instant cashback of up to ₹ 10,000. Apart from this, attractive discounts are also available on select bank cards. Pre-orders have started, and delivery is likely to start from the first week of September.
Who should buy the Pixel 10
If you want a premium Android smartphone and your budget is around ₹ 80,000, then the Pixel 10 could be the right choice for you. It has a great camera, new Tensor G5 chipset, long battery life, and advanced AI features. On the other hand, if you want to save a little money and still want Google’s flagship experience, then the now less expensive Pixel 9 has also become a good deal.
