Essential improvements and feature parity make the standard Pixel 10 phone a potential winner in 2025. The Google Pixel 10 is expected to receive significant upgrades this year, including a dedicated telephoto lens. Greater feature parity with the Pro models, combined with no expected price increases, makes the standard Pixel an enticing option.

Google is expected to launch the Pixel 10, Pixel Watch 4, new Pixel Buds and maybe even a MagSafe-alternative on August 20.
