Your preferred Pixel 10 hue could influence your storage capacity.
What you should be aware of
– Google is reportedly changing things, with certain Pixel 10 colors possibly linked to particular storage levels.
– A Jade hue on the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL is reportedly restricted to 256GB storage or higher.
– Conversely, Porcelain and Moonstone variants of the Pixel 10 Pro XL may not feature the 1TB option at all.
A recent report suggests that Google is being selective about how colors and storage correlate, potentially confining certain colors to specific storage choices, rather than allowing a free combination.
According to information seemingly sourced from a distributor via Droid Life, the entry-level Pixel 10 is appearing in four colors: Obsidian, Frost, Indigo, and Lemongrass. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro and its larger counterpart Pro XL are receiving their individual color selection: Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone, and Jade.
As for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, you will supposedly have just two options: Moonstone or Jade.
Here’s the outline of possible colors and storage configurations:
| Model | Color | Storage Configurations |
|————————|————|——————————|
| Google Pixel 10 | Obsidian | 128GB, 256GB |
| | Frost | 128GB, 256GB |
| | Indigo | 128GB, 256GB |
| | Lemongrass | 128GB, 256GB |
| Google Pixel 10 Pro | Obsidian | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB |
| | Porcelain | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB |
| | Moonstone | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB |
| | Jade | 256GB |
| Google Pixel 10 Pro XL | Obsidian | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB |
| | Porcelain | 256GB, 512GB |
| | Moonstone | 256GB, 512GB |
| | Jade | 256GB |
| Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold | Moonstone | 256GB, 512GB, 1TB |
| | Jade | 256GB, 512GB |
If you’re considering the Pixel 10 Pro in Jade, you may need to opt for the 256GB version. The same applies to the Pro XL. And if you’re interested in the foldable Pro in Jade, don’t anticipate a 1TB variant whatsoever.
To complicate matters further, the Pixel 10 Pro XL in Porcelain and Moonstone may entirely bypass the 1TB option. On a different note, the Obsidian version could still offer 128GB, suggesting a bit more adaptability for the classic black finish.
Black (Obsidian) prevails once more
The Obsidian Pixel 10 Pro XL seems set to offer the complete range of storage: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, all the way up to 1TB. No other color appears to be afforded that level of consideration, making this color the most versatile choice if you are particular about storage.
Moreover, the Pixel 10 Pro might still commence with 128GB of storage, even though UFS 4.0 typically starts at 256GB. This likely indicates that the base model maintains the older UFS 3.1 technology, so anticipate slower speeds compared to the superior models utilizing UFS 4.0.
