Google will formally announce the Pixel 10 vary on 20 August, however we’re not precisely counting down the times.
Don’t get me mistaken – we’re all trying ahead to taking the Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Professional, and Pixel 10 Professional Fold for a spin. The Pixel 9 collection is a favorite of many on the Tech Advisor crew, and I personally use the Google Pixel 9 Professional on the uncommon event once I’m not reviewing a telephone.
It’s simply that the Pixel 10, 10 Professional and 10 Professional XL are recognized portions at this level. In latest days, we’ve seen convincing renders of the complete vary of color choices for all telephones, courtesy of Android Headlines.
A few of these shades look fairly nice, whereas others… not a lot. The ten Professional and 10 Professional XL can be found in the identical shades, however there are just a few completely different ones for the common Pixel 10.
So, we thought now can be the right time to rank these Pixel 10 collection colors, beginning with my least favorite. The Pixel 10 Professional Fold is predicted to solely be accessible in ‘Obsidian’ and ‘Porcelain’, similar to its predecessor, so we haven’t included that right here.
7. Limoncello (Pixel 10 solely)
What’s there to say concerning the tone dubbed ‘Limoncello’, aside from that it’s worthy of the title? Just like the candy Italian liquor it’s named after, this Pixel 10 shade is faintly toxic-looking and makes us really feel barely queasy. Nonetheless, you may’t deny that it’s a classier title than Mountain Dew, which might have been equally becoming.

6. Obsidian (all three)
My objection to Obsidian is totally completely different in nature to that of Limoncello. There’s nothing offensive about Google’s trusty shade of black, as such. Fairly the alternative – it’s downright boring. Certainly, Obsidian is the one ‘color’ (if we will name it that) to make its means into the Pixel 10, 10 Professional and 10 Professional XL. Boo to ubiquity!

5. Porcelain (Pixel 10 Professional and Professional XL)
As Obsidian’s conventional accomplice in crimes-against-interesting-phone-design, Porcelain actually deserves to be ranked shut by. It’s the white to Obsidian’s black, and as such is equally uninteresting. It’s ranked a bit of increased for 2 causes – it’s inherently brighter and fewer fingerprinty than Obsidian, and it’s solely accessible within the one mannequin this yr (the Pixel 10 Professional).

4. Frost (Pixel 10 solely)
Frost is the Pixel 10’s ‘kinda white’ Obsidian substitute, and it’s solely marginally much less boring. If I have been in a optimistic temper, I’d say that this one’s obtained an appropriately cooler, bluer tinge to it. If I have been being my common grumpy self, I’d say it’s the color of loss of life and despair. The reality, as ever, can most likely be discovered someplace in between.

3. Moonstone (Pixel 10 Professional and Professional XL)
Moonstone is a deeply romantic means of calling a telephone ‘gray’ (or grey, should you’re within the US), so props to Google’s PR machine for that one. Even so, I’ve to say that I’m fairly keen on this specific color possibility, at the least from the render (see the official teaser on the prime of the article). It’s obtained that deep, expensive-looking tone that you just would possibly see on a contemporary German sports activities automotive or a fancy kitchen.

2. Indigo (Pixel 10 solely)
Would I personally specify my telephone in such a wealthy tone of blue as Indigo? Most likely not. However because it’s one in every of solely two vibrant colors in your complete Pixel 10 vary, and the one one which doesn’t remind me of messy vacation ingesting experiences, it has to attain extremely.

1. Jade (Pixel 10 Professional)
Jade seems to be to be the 2025 tackle what’s arguably my favorite Pixel telephone color of all time – the Pixel 8 Professional’s Hazel. It’s a lot lighter and greener, for certain, nevertheless it has an analogous mixture of a chilled, nearly arboreal rear panel with what seems to be a heat metallic rim. Pretty.
