new telephones, watches, and extra

It is humorous to assume that at one time, Google was invested in product secrecy as a lot as Apple is with each iPhone announcement. That was cheap — till leaks of upcoming Pixel phones turned so widespread that there was nearly no level in holding an occasion. In latest occasions Google appears to have admitted defeat, issuing teaser bulletins forward of main product showcases. The Pixel 10 is a recognized amount — it is simply the small print that should be confirmed.

The curtain on that information is slated to rise throughout a “Made by Google” occasion on Wednesday, August 20 at 1pm ET/10am PT. Within the meantime, I’ve gathered collectively all essentially the most credible rumors to this point, together with information concerning the Pixel 10 Professional Fold. There’s additionally phrase that we’ll be seeing different merchandise introduced. For a teaser of my very own, as an example that you just could be fairly comfortable should you’re into fitness.

The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Professional, and Pixel 10 Professional XL

The celebs of the present

In some methods, the majority of the Pixel lineup is not anticipated to alter a lot. The Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Professional ought to every function a 6.3-inch show, with the Pixel 10 Professional XL bumping you as much as 6.8-inches. By way of each many leaks and official product pictures, we all know that aesthetics will keep much like the Pixel 9 collection.

Issues get a bit extra attention-grabbing beneath the floor. All the telephones are anticipated to improve to Google’s new Tensor G5 processor, which must be developed in-house, and manufactured utilizing a 3nm TSMC course of. Historically, Google has partnered with Samsung, so the hope is that the G5 could also be higher optimized for Pixel 10’s wants — or at the least extra power-efficient, because the G4 has a 4nm structure. Certainly one of Apple’s biggest benefits with the iPhone is that its processors are custom-tailored, even eliminating the necessity for as a lot RAM as many Android telephones have.

The bottom Pixel 10 ought to embody a ten.8-megapixel telephoto camera along with 48-megapixel vast and 13-megapixel ultra-wide items. Up to now, Google has compelled consumers to improve to a Professional for a telephoto, although it is often preferable to get nearer to a topic than push it away. Certainly, the transfer may put strain on Apple, which is anticipated to stay to a large/ultra-wide combo for the usual iPhone 17. There’ll nonetheless be causes to improve to a Pixel 10 Professional or Professional XL, after all — these units ought to get 48-megapixel telephotos, sitting subsequent to 50-megapixel vast and 48-megapixel ultra-wide cameras.

For some folks, the largest change will be the addition of Qi2 charging, which relies on Apple’s MagSafe and considerably sooner than common Qi. To assist that Google is allegedly introducing a collection of ” Pixelsnap” equipment, together with a case. Magnets enhance the effectivity of wi-fi charging by guaranteeing good alignment. As a bonus, they allow equipment like attachable wallets and battery packs, and extra elegant charging stands. You need to even have the ability to use most MagSafe merchandise with a Pixel, assuming a distinction in cellphone dimensions would not get in the way in which.

As for costs, Android Headlines means that the Pixel 10 will begin at $799 for 128GB. The ten Professional ought to slot in at $999, and the ten Professional XL at $1,199, with the XL defaulting to 256GB of storage. You will not have the ability to get any more room than that on the bottom cellphone, however each the Professional and Professional XL ought to have 512GB and 1TB configurations. A 1TB Professional XL could set you again $1,549.

Like its siblings, the ten Professional Fold must be evolutionary slightly than revolutionary, gaining upgrades like a Tensor G5 chip, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide digital camera, and a telephoto with 5x optical zoom. Arguably these options ought to’ve been within the 9 Professional Fold, provided that gadget’s $1,800 sticker worth.

The marquee change may very well be sturdiness. Google is rumored to be enhancing the power of the hinge, and in response to WinFuture, introducing IP68 water and dirt resistance. Up to now, no foldable has had higher mud resistance than the IP48 on Samsung’s Z Fold and Z Flip — and the 9 Professional Fold has no mud score in anyway. With the ten Professional Fold, it could lastly be secure to take a foldable to the seashore or a dusty building web site, though there is no phrase on how robust the gadget’s inside and exterior screens can be.

The Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a

Giving the folks what they need

Not a lot is understood concerning the Pixel Watch 4, but it surely may turn out to be barely thicker than its predecessor within the identify of prolonged battery life. Android Headlines provides that it’d get steady blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring, as a substitute of simply recording that information in a single day. This can be a win for runners, weightlifters, and different athletic varieties, as noon SpO2 ranges are an indication of cardiovascular health — the nearer they’re to 100%, the higher. For a lifter like myself, extra oxygen saturation can imply squeezing out yet another rep on a tough set.

One other rumored enhancement is a few type of emergency satellite tv for pc communication, as on the forthcoming Apple Watch Extremely 3. The Pixel Watch 4 must be significantly cheaper, nonetheless, beginning at $350 versus the Extremely 3’s $800, assuming tariffs do not push costs upward from the final technology.

The Pixel Buds 2a, in the meantime, are Google’s new finances earbuds. In line with well-known leaker Evan Blass, Google is planning so as to add lively noise cancellation to the A collection for the primary time, if not so good as what you will discover on the Pixel Buds Professional 2. The 2a will lack another Professional options too, particularly Dialog Detection, head-tracked spatial audio, and wi-fi charging for the case. You need to count on cheap battery life, fortunately — that is rumored to be 7 hours of in-ear time, and 20 hours in whole by way of the case.

Different potential surprises

The AI drumbeat bangs on

It would not be a Google occasion if there wasn’t some type of AI tie-in, and one other Android Headlines declare is that Gemini will acquire a “Digicam Coach” for Pixel units, providing recommendations on issues like angles and lighting to supply higher images. There could even be conversational photograph modifying, letting you do issues like tweak publicity or take away objects with easy voice instructions. That could possibly be very spectacular if it really works reliably — though I would follow finger gestures or Photoshop when precision issues.

Google can be lengthy overdue to replace many of the Google Nest smart home lineup, notably its audio system and shows. The final main refresh in that space was the second-generation Nest Hub, which shipped in 2021. Earlier in 2025, the corporate promised to proceed placing out new merchandise, and the Made by Google occasion could be a logical time to disclose something if it may ship earlier than the tip of 2025. There is no phrase on particular units, nonetheless.
