Pixel 10 Series Leak: Colors, Storage, and a Jade-Exclusive Twist
New leaks reveal the storage configurations and color options for the upcoming Pixel 10 series, including the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Notably, the coveted Jade color option appears to be exclusively tied to the 256GB storage tier on the Pixel 10 Pro.
Storage Options Across the Pixel 10 Lineup
The base Pixel 10 will offer 128GB and 256GB storage options, available in four colors: Obsidian, Frost, Indigo, and Lemongrass. The Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will start with 128GB of storage and scale up to 256GB, 512GB, and even 1TB for the Pro models, suggesting Google isn’t immediately upgrading to faster storage tiers like UFS 4.0 which typically begin at 256GB. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will offer 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB options.
Interestingly, the leak suggests a limitation on color choices based on storage capacity. While Obsidian, Porcelain, and Moonstone will be available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB configurations, the highly anticipated Jade color will be exclusively offered with 256GB of storage on the Pixel 10 Pro. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold in Jade will be limited to 256GB and 512GB options, with Moonstone adding a 1TB option.
Color Palette and Design Choices
The Pixel 10 series introduces a diverse color palette, with the standard model offering Obsidian, Frost, Indigo, and Lemongrass. The Pixel 10 Pro expands on this with the addition of Jade, Moonstone, and Porcelain, providing consumers with more aesthetic choices. The Moonstone color, previously rumored as “Sterling,” appears to be a shade of gray.
This strategy of linking specific colors to storage tiers is unusual and may influence consumer purchasing decisions. The limited availability of the Jade color, arguably the most striking option, to only the 256GB storage tier could incentivize buyers to opt for a higher capacity model.
