It’s not usually a high-level leak or a retailer’s mistake of publishing information too soon that causes the world’s largest firms to struggle to keep their new devices under wraps. Occasionally, this occurs because the corporation producing the product begins filming advertisements months before the product is scheduled to be released, and a passerby witnesses the commercial shoot in progress and, fortunately, has a decent enough camera with them to record the entire event.
It is typically not a high-level leak or a retailer’s error of releasing information too soon that makes it difficult for the biggest companies in the world to conceal their new technologies. Sometimes this happens when the company that makes the goods starts making commercials months before the product is supposed to be introduced, and a bystander happens to be watching the commercial shoot and, thankfully, has a good enough camera with them to capture the entire thing.
A humorous little video slideshow featuring narration of the user’s experience filming Google’s Pixel 10 Pro was posted on Twitter by @MarksGonePublic. According to their photos, Google was filming an ad featuring the Pixel 10 titled “Ask more of your phone.” Indeed, the phone is referred to as the “Pixel 10” in the storyboard, but it is actually a Pixel 10 Pro with an additional camera and temperature sensor.
I’m not sure what else can be learned from this video because the Pixel 10 series is anticipated to resemble the Pixel 9 series in every way except for the inclusion of Google’s Tensor G5, which should be their best chip ever as it replaces Samsung Exynos as the base. This ad only indicates that a Pixel 10 is on the horizon and will appear remarkably similar; it doesn’t necessarily disclose any new specifications, features, or costs.
And here’s the real smartphone in a person’s hand during the photo session, which once more displays a Pixel 10 Pro that appears to be a Pixel 9 Pro. And it’s okay! We adore the Pixel 9 series’ look.
