Google is gearing as much as launch a brand new slate of Pixel units at its Made by Google occasion this week, led by the flagship Pixel 10 telephone line, with up to date watches and earbuds anticipated to reach, too.
This yr’s Pixel line has been leaked extensively over the previous few weeks, revealing nearly all the pieces we predict the corporate will announce at tomorrow’s August twentieth launch occasion, proper down to colours, specs, and costs.
The corporate has even formally confirmed a number of issues concerning the units and the occasion. Our newest look comes from an advert that offers us glimpses of a lot of the new {hardware}, together with the promise of visitor stars together with Jimmy Fallon, Steph Curry, Lando Norris, and the Jonas Brothers.
It’s no secret that the Pixel 10 line is coming, as Google has already proven off the telephones. We’re anticipating 4 fashions this yr: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Professional, Pixel 10 Professional XL, and Pixel 10 Professional Fold.
You possibly can see the ten, one of many Professional fashions, and the Fold all seem briefly within the advert embedded above, and Google has additionally launched separate teasers specializing in the designs of the Professional and the Professional Fold, each of that are seen in a grayish blue coloration we’re anticipating to be known as “Moonstone.” That shiny blue Pixel 10 within the occasion advert is outwardly a coloration Google is looking “Indigo,” and the entire line-up seems on this leaked picture obtained by Android Authority:

In order for you the total deep dive on the 4 new telephones, I’ve been monitoring each main Pixel 10 announcement, leak, and rumor, however I’ll keep on with the highlights right here.
First, it appears seemingly that the bottom Pixel 10 will soar to a triple digicam setup for the primary time, with a brand new 5x telephoto lens. The draw back is that we’re anticipating downgrades to the principle and ultrawide cameras to compensate, which can even make the ten’s primary digicam worse than the Pixel 9’s. Not everybody will see that as an total improve.
The massive change throughout all 4 telephones ought to be the introduction of Qi2 magnetic wi-fi charging, which we’re hoping may also embrace adoption of the sooner Qi 25W customary introduced final month. Leakers declare that Google may also be releasing a line of magnetic equipment to go together with the telephone, utilizing “Pixelsnap” branding for its various to MagSafe.

In the meantime, the ten Professional Fold is rumored to be the primary foldable from any producer to come back with an IP68 ranking, indicating whole safety from mud and small particles, along with sturdy water-resistance. If true, that seems like a little bit of an engineering coup for Google, and we’ll be curious to listen to extra about how they did it.
We additionally know lots concerning the Pixels’ upcoming software program upgrades. Google has already proven off Materials 3 Expressive, the colourful new design language arriving in Android 16’s first quarterly replace, seemingly due alongside the brand new Pixel 10 telephones. It might additionally carry a brand new Android desktop mode with it, which we hope to listen to extra about tomorrow, and we’ll be fairly shocked if there aren’t some additional AI bulletins to come back too.
Lastly, it seems like we are able to count on the Pixel 10 telephones to remain on the identical costs as their Pixel 9 counterparts, no less than within the US, with beginning costs starting from $799 for the Pixel 10 as much as $1,799 for the ten Professional Fold. The one exception is the ten Professional XL, which could soar $100 to a $1,199 begin value, but when so it could be by ditching the earlier 128GB mannequin and beginning at 256GB of storage as an alternative.
New flagship Pixel telephones imply a brand new flagship Pixel Watch, and this yr is not any exception. As with the Pixel Watch 3, we’re anticipating to see two completely different sizes of Pixel Watch 4, 41mm and 45mm, launching in colours that can largely match the brand new telephone traces.
We’ve solely heard about one actually large change to the Watch 4, and it’s an surprising one: a completely new charger. This yr’s watches will apparently cost on their sides, which could imply each sooner charging and a brand new nightstand-ready charging UI. There’s even been a report that the change makes the watch simpler to restore, although how a lot simpler continues to be unknown.

On the software program facet we’re undecided what’s coming to the Watch 4, since Google has already launched its massive Gemini replace for Pixel watches. It must also get a Materials 3 Expressive replace to the aesthetic, and also you’d be a idiot to guess in opposition to extra AI bulletins.
Just like the telephones, we’ve heard the Pixel Watch 4 will keep the identical value as its predecessor: from $349 for a Wi-Fi mannequin, and $399 for LTE.
Final and — let’s be truthful — possibly least thrilling, Google ought to be bringing a brand new pair of price range earbuds, the Pixel Buds 2A.
It’s been 4 complete years because the launch of the $99 Pixel Buds A-Sequence, so these are lengthy overdue. Nonetheless, we don’t know a complete lot about what to anticipate, past a number of leaked photos of a design that takes after the Pixel Buds Professional 2.

Our greatest guesses come from the dependable leaker Evan Blass, who not too long ago shared a spec sheet indicating that the Buds 2A will get vital sound upgrades to incorporate each lively noise cancellation and spatial audio, although with out both the Silent Seal 2.0 tech or head monitoring discovered within the Professional 2 variations of these options. Battery life must also lag a bit of behind the Professional 2, at seven hours on the buds and 20 together with the case.
We haven’t but seen any strong studies concerning the Buds 2A’s value within the US, however WinFuture studies a European value of €149 (about $175), up from €99 on the earlier era. That means a US value of $149 is probably going.
It’s additionally price noting that we’ve seen the Pixel Buds Professional 2 seem within the new grey “Moonstone” coloration that’s launching with the Professional telephones, suggesting some replace to that product, however we’re undecided if there’ll be something introduced past a brand new coloration.
Lastly, whereas Google could also be saying all this {hardware} on the identical time, that doesn’t imply it’ll be promoting all of them collectively.
It’s been reported that solely the Pixel 10, 10 Professional, and 10 Professional XL shall be occurring sale this month, on August twenty eighth. The ten Professional XL, Watch 4, and Buds 2A will apparently be delayed, and received’t truly hit cabinets till October ninth, virtually two months from now.
