Google’s 2025 lineup — Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL — arrives with Tensor G5, brighter displays and expanded local channels. Pre-orders are live now; on shelves from August 28.

Google has officially launched the Pixel 10 family in Malaysia, headlined by the new Tensor G5 chip and a push into more mainstream retail. The base Pixel 10 finally adds a dedicated telephoto camera, while the Pro pair tout brighter Super Actua displays and longer battery life. All phones ship with Android 16, seven years of OS/security/Pixels Drop updates, and a fresh slate of Gemini-powered features such as Magic Cue, Scam Detection, and upgraded on-device transcription.

MALAYSIA PRICING & AVAILABILITY

Pre-orders opened on August 21, 2025, with general availability slated for August 28, 2025. Malaysian pricing is as follows:

  • Pixel 10 (128GB): RM3,999
  • Pixel 10 Pro: from RM4,999
  • Pixel 10 Pro XL: from RM5,999

Colour options vary by model, but you’ll see Indigo, Frost, Lemongrass, and Obsidian on the Pixel 10, with Moonstone, Jade, Porcelain, and Obsidian across the Pro line. Google and retail partners are dangling launch promos that include free storage upgrades on selected models.

A foldable joins the party later: the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is officially priced from RM7,999 and is scheduled for release in Malaysia on October 9, 2025.

WHERE TO BUY — AND THE TELCO ANGLE

Beyond the Google official channels, the Pixels are being sold through CelcomDigi, Maxis, and U Mobile, as well as nationwide retailers including Urban Republic, Senheng, and Thunder Match Technology. CelcomDigi is pushing Easy360 instalments — for eligible Postpaid 5G 100 plans and above — with monthly payments advertised from RM73 over 36 months for the Pixel 10. That broadens access and signals Google’s most coordinated local release yet.

KEY SPECS AT A GLANCE

  • Chipset: Tensor G5 on all models, built on TSMC 3nm, enabling faster on-device Gemini features.
  • Displays: Pixel 10 uses a 6.3-inch FHD+ OLED (up to 3,000 nits). Pro/Pro XL keep 6.3/6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO panels with up to 3,300 nits peak brightness and 1–120Hz refresh.
  • Cameras: Pixel 10 steps up to a triple array — 48MP main, 12MP ultrawide, new 10.8MP telephoto with 20x Super Res Zoom. Pro models retain triple cameras, add improved OIS, and enable up to 100x “Pro Res Zoom” with a new generative imaging model.
  • Battery & Charging: Rated for “over 24 hours” (Google quotes ~30 hours in some materials); 30W wired on non-XL models and up to 45W on Pro XL.
  • Wireless Charging & Accessories: Introduction of Pixelsnap — Google’s magnetic ecosystem compatible with Qi2. Pro XL supports up to 25W wireless; other models top out at 15W.
  • Durability & Security: IP68, ultrasonic fingerprint reader, Face Unlock, and C2PA Content Credentials baked into the camera for provenance.

WHY THIS MATTERS IN MALAYSIA

Two things stand out this cycle. First, pricing: RM3,999 for the base model undercuts several rival flagships while finally addressing the “no telephoto on the standard Pixel” gripe. Second, distribution: official telco tie-ups and big-box retailers mean you no longer need to hunt through grey-market channels to get a local-warranty Pixel. That should translate to better after-sales support and clearer upgrade paths.

QUICK BUYING NOTES

  • If you want the brightest display and faster wireless charging, look at the Pixel 10 Pro XL.
  • If you want the best value and can live with 128GB, the Pixel 10 at RM3,999 is the sweet spot — now with a proper zoom lens.
  • Watch for launch promos: several partners are offering storage upgrades and bundle perks, and Google is including a year of Google AI Pro with the Pro models.

BOTTOM LINE

The Pixel 10 series is Google’s strongest Malaysian rollout yet — more attractive pricing, wider availability, and meaningful hardware upgrades. For everyday users, the Pixel 10 finally feels “complete”. For power users, the Pro duo’s brighter screens, longer endurance and AI-assisted imaging push the line forward without blowing up the price ladder.
