Pixel 10 Pro Barely Distinguishable from Previous Model
21 Aug
Summary
- Google's Pixel 10 marks the phone's 10th generation
- Pixel 10 Pro looks nearly identical to last year's Pixel 9
- Apple and Samsung overhauled designs for their 10th anniversary models

As of August 21, 2025, Google has released the Pixel 10, marking the 10th generation of its flagship smartphone. However, the latest model looks nearly identical to the previous year's Pixel 9, failing to impress consumers who typically expect bold design changes for such a milestone release.
In contrast, tech giants like Apple and Samsung have made significant design overhauls for their 10th anniversary smartphone models. Apple, for instance, completely revamped the iPhone in 2017 for its 10th anniversary, while Samsung revamped the Galaxy S series with the S10 in 2019.
But with the Pixel 10 Pro, Google has played it safe, offering only minor color variations and subtle refinements compared to the Pixel 9. This lack of a major design refresh has left many consumers underwhelmed, as they had anticipated a more dramatic evolution of the Pixel line to commemorate its 10th generation.
