new telephones, watches, and extra

It is humorous to suppose 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 main points that have to 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 probably the most credible rumors up to now, together with information in regards to 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 instance that you just is likely to be fairly glad if you happen to’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 means of each many leaks and official product photographs, we all know that aesthetics will keep just like the Pixel 9 collection.

Issues get a bit extra fascinating below the floor. All the telephones are anticipated to improve to Google’s new Tensor G5 processor, which needs to 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, for the reason that G4 has a 4nm structure. One in all 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 huge and 13-megapixel ultra-wide items. Up to now, Google has compelled consumers to improve to a Professional for a telephoto, even if it is often preferable to get nearer to a topic than push it away. Certainly, the transfer might put stress 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, in fact — these units ought to get 48-megapixel telephotos, sitting subsequent to 50-megapixel huge and 48-megapixel ultra-wide cameras.

For some individuals, the most important change would be the addition of Qi2 charging, which is predicated on Apple’s MagSafe and considerably quicker 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. It is best to even have the ability to use most MagSafe merchandise with a Pixel, assuming a distinction in telephone dimensions does not get in the best way.

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 telephone, however each the Professional and Professional XL ought to have 512GB and 1TB configurations. A 1TB Professional XL might set you again $1,549.

La crème de la crème

Like its siblings, the ten Professional Fold needs to be evolutionary moderately than revolutionary, gaining upgrades like a Tensor G5 chip, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide digicam, and a telephoto with 5x optical zoom. Arguably these options ought to’ve been within the 9 Professional Fold, on condition that machine’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 based on 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 might lastly be secure to take a foldable to the seashore or a dusty building web site, though there isn’t any phrase on how powerful the machine’s inside and exterior screens might be.

The Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a

Giving the individuals what they need

Not a lot is understood in regards to the Pixel Watch 4, nevertheless it might turn out to be barely thicker than its predecessor within the title 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. It is a win for runners, weightlifters, and different athletic sorts, 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 one more rep on a troublesome set.

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

The Pixel Buds 2a, in the meantime, are Google’s new price range earbuds. In keeping with well-known leaker Evan Blass, Google is planning so as to add energetic 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, specifically Dialog Detection, head-tracked spatial audio, and wi-fi charging for the case. It is best to anticipate cheap battery life, fortunately — that is rumored to be 7 hours of in-ear time, and 20 hours in complete through the case.

Different potential surprises

The AI drumbeat bangs on

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

Google can also be lengthy overdue to replace a lot 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 can be a logical time to disclose something if it should ship earlier than the top of 2025. There is not any phrase on particular units, nevertheless.
