Google has always been a pioneer in the tech world, but with the upcoming Pixel 10 launch, has the tech giant made a misstep? The Pixel 10 phones promise exciting upgrades like magnetic Qi2 charging and fresh color options. However, one particular color choice has sparked debate among tech enthusiasts.
Indigo, the fan-favorite colorway for this year’s Pixel 10, seems to be stealing the spotlight. Drawing inspiration from popular smartphone colors like Ultramarine and Blue Shadow, Indigo is not just a trendsetter but also a nod to Google’s past with the iconic ‘Really Blue’ Pixel from 2016.
Despite Indigo’s popularity, there’s a catch. This vibrant hue is exclusive to the entry-level Pixel 10 model, leaving ‘professionals’ eyeing the Pro models with a more subdued color palette. The Pro lineup offers sophisticated options like Moonstone and classic choices such as Obsidian and Porcelain.
For those opting for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, the color selection gets a bit more exciting with Moonstone and Jade. While renderings can sometimes be deceiving, Indigo seems poised to be a standout choice this year, especially with its added features like a telephoto camera and Qi2 charging—all at a consistent price point from the previous year.
As the excitement builds for the official Pixel 10 launch event on August 20, tech enthusiasts are left pondering their color preference. Will Google’s color strategy for the Pixel 10 lineup pay off, or has the tech giant missed the mark with its choices? Only time will tell how consumers will respond to this colorful conundrum.
