It has been nearly six months since Google launched its flagship Pixel 10 series, and the buzz around these devices is still strong in India. With the new “Made by TSMC” Tensor G5 chip and a refined design, the Pixel 10 Pro has become a favorite for Android purists.
However, with the news of the affordable Pixel 10a launching later this week (February 18), many buyers are confused: is the Pro model still worth the premium price tag?
Here is a complete breakdown of the current Google Pixel 10 Pro price in India, its real-world performance after six months, and whether you should buy it today.

Availability: The phone is available in four premium colors: Obsidian (Black), Porcelain (White), Jade (Green), and Moonstone (Blue-Grey).
Key Specifications: The Power of Tensor G5
The biggest selling point of the Pixel 10 Pro remains its processor. Unlike the older Pixel 9 series which used Samsung-made chips, the Pixel 10 Pro runs on the Google Tensor G5, built by TSMC on a 3nm process.
Performance & Heating
After six months of usage, reports confirm that the Tensor G5 is a game-changer. The overheating issues common in older Pixels are largely gone. The phone handles heavy multitasking and gaming much better due to the new chip’s efficiency.
Display Quality
The phone features a compact 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED display. It supports a 1-120Hz refresh rate and reaches a peak brightness of 3,300 nits, making it easily visible even under direct Indian sunlight.
Camera Setup (The “King” of Photos)
Google has kept the hardware powerful but leans heavily on AI for results.
Main Camera: 50 MP (Octa PD) with amazing low-light capability.
Telephoto: 48 MP with 5x optical zoom (up to 100x Super Res Zoom).
Ultrawide: 48 MP with Macro Focus.
Front Camera: 42 MP with autofocus for sharp selfies.
Should You Buy Pixel 10 Pro or Wait for Pixel 10a?
This is the biggest question right now. The Pixel 10a is set to launch in India on February 18, 2026, with an expected price of around ₹49,999.
Buy the Pixel 10 Pro if: You want the best zoom camera (telephoto lens), a brighter screen, premium glass/metal build, and faster charging (30W wired + Qi2 wireless).
Wait for Pixel 10a if: You want the clean Google software experience and the main camera performance but don’t care about zoom lenses or premium materials.
