Google Pixel 10 Pro Leak Hints at Base 128GB Storage, But Jade Color Gets an Upgrade
OnePlus 13s: What’s All the Buzz About?
If you were waiting for something bold from Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 Pro, the latest leak just gave us a mixed bag.
Yes, the design looks polished, and yes, there’s an all-new chipset. But surprisingly, Google seems to be sticking with the same 128GB base storage for the Pixel 10 Pro even in 2025.
And if you’re eyeing that gorgeous new Jade color, be ready to pay more because it’s only coming with the 256GB variant.
The Leaks Are Out And What They’re Telling
Fresh live images shared online give us a first look at the Tensor G5 chip and also confirm the presence of an LDI (Liquid Damage Indicator), hinting at improved water protection.
These leaks give us a clearer picture of what to expect from Google’s premium flagship.
The storage-color pairing, however, is where the Pixel 10 Pro is drawing attention. This story mirrors how Samsung’s foldables, like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are also seeing spec-focused leaks ahead of launch, especially around design, pricing, and durability.
Pixel 10 Pro Starts at 128GB With a Catch
Despite expectations, it looks like Google is retaining the 128GB base variant. That also suggests it may continue using UFS 3.1 for this variant, while UFS 4.0 may be reserved for higher storage options.
In a year where devices like the Xiaomi 16 are pushing boundaries with large batteries. The advanced camera sensors, sticking with lower storage speeds on the base model, feels like a cost-saving move. But it might not sit well with power users.
Jade is The New Star But Not for Everyone
The new Jade color is already turning heads. But Google seems to be using it to upsell higher storage variants. Leaks confirm that this vibrant color is only coming with the 256GB model and above.
Here’s how the Pixel 10 Pro color-storage chart stacks up:
- Obsidian: 128GB / 256GB / 512GB / 1TB
- Porcelain: 128GB / 256GB / 512GB
- Moonstone: 128GB / 256GB / 512GB
- Jade: 256GB only
This kind of strategy isn’t new. Even the OnePlus 13s was recently revealed with a premium finish exclusive to the higher variant, pushing users toward pricier configurations for aesthetic upgrades.
Pro XL and Fold Also Follow The Same Path
Just like the Pixel 10 Pro, the Pro XL and Pro Fold models are also seeing limited color-storage combos. The Jade finish will only be available in 256GB, while Moonstone offers up to 1TB.
This is similar to what we saw with foldables from OPPO such as the Find N5 Flip, where hardware and design upgrades are heavily model-specific. It’s a reminder that if color matters to you, your options may be narrowed down to more expensive models.
Expected Launch in August
According to the leaks, the entire Pixel 10 series including Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to be announced on August 20, with pre-orders starting immediately and shipping from August 28.
The date aligns with Google’s previous launch patterns. And just like iPhone 17 leaks have already begun surfacing months before launch, the Pixel story is also unfolding rapidly.
Final Word
If you’re looking for aesthetic appeal and performance, the Jade color with 256GB might hit the sweet spot.
But if you’re considering value for money, you may want to compare this with options like the OnePlus 13s or upcoming models from Vivo and Samsung, such as the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
For now, Pixel 10 Pro looks refined, reliable, and ready but the real value will depend on what storage tier and color you choose.
