Are Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Accessories Compatible with Pixel 9 Series? A Wholesaler's Guide

Google has launched its newest Pixel series, the Google Pixel 10. Every new release brings questions from customers who want to see how the accessory compatibility is between the predecessor and the new kid on the block. With the arrival of the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro, one of the biggest questions wholesalers face is whether these accessories are compatible with the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro.

 

Some accessories are cross-compatible, while others are not due to design changes. In this guide, we'll break down the differences between the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro and Pixel 9 and 9 Pro series, explain which accessories work across models, and highlight opportunities for wholesalers to streamline customer decisions and maximize sales.

 

Overall General Device Compatibility

 

The Google Pixel 10 series shares a similar design to the Google Pixel 9 series. The dimensions are extremely close, which makes accessories like screen protectors, charging cables, and universal mounts quite cross-compatible. However, there are subtle design differences that do make certain accessories not fit quite right between these models.

 

Case Films and Covers

 

Many of the protective films and case shells will fit both the Pixel 10 and Pixel 9 series.  However the camera hole cutouts and flash positions differ enough that camera usability could be partially blocked. Obstructed shots generally aren't what customers look for when swapping phone cases, and interchanging cases between these models will likely impair the camera's function.

 

Modified Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Accessories

 

While there's no official "modified" Pixel 10 and 10 Pro from Google, users and third parties can adapt accessory integration features to help enhance user experience. Accessories like a Syncwire Magsafe/Qi 2 phone grip allow for easier handling and carrying throughout the day, and take advantage of Qi 2 wireless charging accessories.

 

All-Model-Compatible Products

 

Some products are compatible with all four models (Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro). These universal products primarily consist of charging cables, wall adapters, wireless chargers, tempered glass screen protectors with edge-to-edge coverage, and certain kinds of cases with flexible materials. Highlighting these products to your customers will help simplify buying decisions and streamline your inventory at the same time.

 

Detailed Accessory Compatibility Breakdown

 

Here's a more detailed accessory breakdown to further guide your stocking decisions:

 

Cases and Covers

 

• Pixel 10/10 Pro Cases and Pixel 9/9 Pro: Fit in most cases, but camera cutouts may not align properly. Modified designs can help with this.
• Pixel 9/9 Pro Cases and Pixel 10/10 Pro: Generally not compatible due to the updated camera module and flash placement.
• Recommendation: Stock modified dual-compatible cases or emphasize universal flexible-fit designs.

Screen Protectors

 

Screen dimensions are nearly identical across both series. Full-coverage tempered glass protectors often work across all four models, but edge-to-edge or cutout-specific protectors may differ slightly. TVCMALL recommends promoting universal screen protectors as a "one size fits all" product. Explore pixel 10 screen protector.

 

Charging Accessories

 

USB-C cables, fast chargers, and wireless charging pads are fully compatible across all Pixel 9 and 10 models. There are no major design changes that affect power delivery standards.

 

Camera Lens Protectors

 

Because of the shift in flash and lens module design, Pixel 9 lens protectors won't fit Pixel 10 models, and vice versa. It will be helpful to clearly label lens protectors for customers by model compatibility to avoid mixing inventory.

 

Other Accessories (Stands, Mounts, Holders)

 

Most universal phone stands, car mounts, and holders work seamlessly across both generations because these products focus on overall size and grip rather than precise cutouts and dimensions. These can be another great "across all models" type accessory advertisement.

 

Why Compatibility Knowledge Matters

 

Understanding the nuances between the Pixel 9 and 10 series helps you stock appropriate inventory and guide your clients toward educated inventory selections for their businesses.

 

When you take the time to explain these nuances to your clients, you'll start to see:

 

1. Less customer confusion: Many customers assume that if two phones look similar enough, the accessories will be interchangeable. If you're able to explain the differences and how these differences impact their experience with their device, your credibility goes up as a supplier.
2. More repeat sales: Customers looking for certain accessories that realize their Google Pixel 9 accessories won't fit their Pixel 10 will need to upgrade. This is a great opportunity to recommend new accessories while helping the customer understand which items remain compatible.
3. More streamlined inventory management: By having a certain amount of focus on universal products that cover all four models, wholesalers can reduce stock complexity and help maximize overall turnover. The all-in-one solutions are especially attractive to retailers dealing with limited shelf space.
