The Google Pixel 10 series colors have leaked, with a mix of old and new shadesHowever, there's no sign of Obsidian or PorcelainThere's also evidence that Google might not upgrade the modem in the Pixel 10 seriesThere have been a lot of Google Pixel 10 leaks lately and they’re not slowing down, as now a full list of colors for every model has emerged.According to Android Headlines, the Google Pixel 10 will come in Ultra Blue (a royal blue), Limoncello (presumably yellow), Iris (a bluey purple), and Midnight (black) shades.The Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are listed as being sold in Sterling Gray (light gray), Light Porcelain (white), Midnight, and Smoky Green (dark green) shades, and the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is said to come in just Sterling Gray and Smoky Green shades.While we’d take all of this with a pinch of salt, Android Headlines claims to have confirmed these colors with multiple sources, so the site sounds confident in them.The Google Pixel 9 in four shades (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future)That said, this is slightly at odds with an earlier Pixel 10 colors leak, which mentioned many of these shades but had Obsidian and Porcelain in place of Midnight and Light Porcelain.Obsidian and Porcelain have both been present for the last four Pixel generations, so it would be slightly surprising to see them gone now – though arguably a change is due.Still, Android Headlines specifically states that these two old favorites will be absent from the Pixel 10 line. But with Midnight and Light Porcelain reportedly in their place there would still be similar (but presumably slightly different) white and black shades.No new modemIn other Pixel 10 news, 9to5Google has spotted mention of an Exynos 5400 modem in leaked Pixel 10 Pro photos. That’s the same modem as you’ll find in the Google Pixel 9 series, and if the Pixel 10 Pro has this, the rest of the Pixel 10 line probably will too.We don’t normally pay much attention to modems in phones, but the Pixel series has a long history of cellular connectivity issues, and while things are better on the Pixel 9, they’re still not perfect.So there were hopes of a change in modem, and some leaks suggested this might be happening, but the latest information paints a different picture. The Pixel 10 series is reportedly landing on August 20, so we should find out for sure in two and a half months.You might also likeGoogle Pixel 10 rumors – 5 things we think we know and 3 we don'tBest Google Pixel phones: our reviews help you choose the Google phone that's right for youGoogle Pixel 9 Pro review: the AI phone is here, but the future is not

Those three iPhones were all announced by Apple in September 2018.Bear in mind that none of this is confirmed by Apple yet. It's also worth noting that even if those older phones miss out on iOS 26, they may still get security updates for some time – the iPhone 8 most recently got an update in March 2025, for example.Here's what's comingThe iPhone 16 will no doubt get iOS 26 (Image credit: Apple)Besides the rebrand from iOS 19 to iOS 26, we've heard quite a few rumors about the next software update for the iPhone.

Nioh 3 has been officially revealed with a 2026 launch windowThe game is coming to PS5 and PC, but PS5 players can try out a free demo today until June 18The new open-world Nioh entry will offer two playstyles, Samurai and NinjaKoei Tecmo has officially announced Nioh 3 at PlayStation's June State of Play showcase.Revealed alongside a story trailer, the studio confirmed that its new open-world Nioh game will be set in Japan's Sengoku period and will be released for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam in 2026.Although the soulslike game is one year away, fans can check out the Nioh 3 Alpha Demo, which is available exclusively on PS5 until June 18. The demo offers an early look at the game, featuring an in-progress character creation system.After players complete the demo, they can provide feedback, including thoughts on the new battle styles and open field exploration. They'll also receive a special helmet for use in Nioh 3's full game."In Nioh 3, fans take on the role of a young warrior poised to become the next Shogun during Japan’s turbulent Sengoku period. Players will be able to enjoy a unique open-field experience that combines the freedom of exploration with the tension and intensity of action characteristics that encompasses all Nioh titles," Koei Tecmo said."From fighting monstruous yokai and exploring villages where suspicious beings lurk, to tackling the daunting challenges of the Crucible, players will enjoy thrilling and hostile new environments as they fight to survive in this cursed kingdom."The latest Nioh entry will introduce two distinct fighting styles: samurai and ninja. Samurai will offer a similar gameplay experience to previous Nioh titles, while also introducing new actions such as enhancing the power of martial arts with the 'Arts Proficiency' action, or the ability to block enemy attacks with the 'Deflect'.The Ninja playstyle offers a faster gameplay experience, allowing players to perform aerial actions and dodges, and attack enemies outside of their range.Ninja players will also be able to outmaneuver enemies and deliver devastating speed attacks from behind using a variety of Ninjitsu techniques, such as 'Mist', which leaves a clone after attacking, and 'Evade', which allows them to narrowly avoid enemy strikes.There's no need to decide between just one playstyle, as Koei Tecmo has explained that the game allows players to instantaneously switch from one combat style to another during battle, or choose to continuously use only one style.Nioh 3 is available to wishlist now on Steam. The game will also be available in Japanese and English voices with English, French. Italian, German, and Spanish subtitles.You might also like...Best PS5 games 2025 - top PlayStation 5 titles to play right nowThe first trailer for 007 First Light reveals a young James Bond and it's coming to PC and console in 2026, including Nintendo Switch 2Nintendo Switch 2 launch day live: all the latest news and updates as the console starts arriving with fans and at retailers
