Google’s got some bright ideas for Pixel 10 screen upgrades
  • Google’s preparing some screen upgrades for the Pixel 10 family, including a more eye-friendly PWM mode.
  • In addition to that, we’re also expecting brighter panels for the Pixel 10 line’s displays.
  • All Pixel 10 phones should be at least 200 nits brighter than their Pixel 9 equivalents.

If we’re to believe the rumors, Google’s less than two months away from announcing its Pixel 10 smartphone lineup. We’ve already pieced together a ton of details about what to expect from the new hardware, and even at this relatively late stage, our picture of the series continues to come into focus. Today we’re sharing our most recent exclusive insight into Pixel 10 hardware, as we detail Google’s plans for the screens on these phones, and how some will use high-speed backlight modulation to help reduce eye strain. But that’s just one component of Google’s display upgrades coming to the Pixel 10.

In addition to faster PWM support, we’ve also learned that all Pixel 10 models across the lineup should feature brighter screens compared to Pixel 9 devices.
