Google’s Next-Generation Pixel Phones Hint at Battery Improvements Through Regulatory Listings

Regulatory filings have surfaced revealing details of the battery capacity for Google’s anticipated Pixel 10 series smartphones, according to a report by YTechB, initially noted by 9to5Google. The documents, originating from the EU Energy Labelling database, suggest that the Pixel 10 Pro XL will be the largest model within the forthcoming lineup – mirroring the structure of last year’s release.

The leaked information indicates the Pixel 10 Pro XL is equipped with a substantial 5,078mAh battery. While boasting this significant capacity, its energy efficiency rating has been categorized as “B,” suggesting room for optimization. Preliminary estimates based on the listing suggest the device could operate for approximately 48 hours between charges.

In contrast, the Pixel 10 Pro is reportedly supplied with a 4,707mAh battery, promising an extended operational lifespan of roughly 51 hours per charge. This longer duration appears correlated to a higher “A” rating in terms of energy efficiency.

While concrete specifications regarding the Pixel 10 series have been scarce recently, earlier reports from June alluded to both the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL models. Those prior rumors suggested a 6.3-inch display for the Pixel 10 Pro alongside a 4,870mAh battery – a figure now appearing lower than initially speculated in these newly uncovered listings. This discrepancy introduces an apparent inconsistency, potentially positioning the standard model ahead of the “Pro” variant based on reported battery capacity.
