The biggest event of the year is once again approaching for tech enthusiasts. Google has officially announced the launch date of its highly anticipated Pixel 10 Series. The company has confirmed that it will unveil its new Pixel series at the Made by Google 2025 event, scheduled to take place in New York on August 20, 2025. This time, not only smartphones but also other devices like smartwatches and earbuds are set to be part of this grand stage.
When and Where Will the Event Take Place?
The Made by Google 2025 event will be held in New York City, USA, on August 20th. In India, the event can be watched live starting at 10:30 PM. The event will be streamed on Google's official website, YouTube channel, and social media platforms.
Which Devices Will Be Launched?
This time, Google is going to launch not just one or two, but four Pixel smartphones:
- Pixel 10
- Pixel 10 Pro
- Pixel 10 Pro XL
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold
In addition, two other devices will also be part of this launch:
- Google Pixel Watch 4
- Google Pixel Buds 2a
Design and Display
As far as the design is concerned, reports suggest that the Pixel 10 series will not see major design changes. However, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be a foldable smartphone, which could be much more polished and durable than Google's initial attempts.
The display will feature:
- OLED LTPO screen
- 120Hz refresh rate
- HDR10+ support
Biggest Upgrade Will Be in Hardware
This time, Google is focusing on hardware upgrades rather than the design of its smartphones. According to reports, the Pixel 10 series will use the company's new Tensor G5 chip, which will be more power-efficient and better in heat management compared to the previous generation. This chipset has been specifically designed for AI and machine learning, so that Google Assistant and other AI features can become smarter and more responsive.
Convergence of Android 16 and Generative AI
All phones in the Pixel 10 series will be launched on the Android 16 operating system. Along with this, Google will also integrate its latest generative AI tools into the devices.
Some possible AI features may include:
- Real-time translation
- AI-based photo/video editing
- Smart reply and email suggestions
- Live Caption 2.0
- Automatic notes generation
Google Pixel devices are already considered to be at the forefront of the industry in terms of AI, and this time the difference may widen even further.
Camera: AI-Powered Photography
The most distinctive feature of Google's Pixel phones has been their camera. According to the leaked reports so far, the Pixel 10 Pro XL and Fold versions may offer features such as a primary sensor of up to 108MP, a periscope zoom lens, and AI-based night mode. The foldable version is rumored to have dual-screen AI camera optimization, which could make it a major competitor to the Samsung Z Fold series.
Watch 4 and Buds 2a Will Also Be Launched
Along with smartphones, Google will also launch its next-generation smartwatch Pixel Watch 4 and true wireless earbuds Pixel Buds 2a.
Possible Features of Watch 4:
- New design and larger display
- Improved battery life
- AI-based health tracking
- Android WearOS 5 support
Possible Features of Buds 2a:
- Active Noise Cancellation
- Improved call quality
- Longer battery life and fast charging
Price and Availability
Although the official announcement of prices will be made at the launch event itself, it is estimated that the starting price of the Pixel 10 could be between ₹65,000 to ₹70,000. The price of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could go up to ₹1.2 lakh. The Watch 4 could be launched at around ₹25,000 and the Buds 2a at ₹9,999.
The Google Pixel 10 Series is not just a new range of smartphones, but it is also considered to be the beginning of Google's AI-driven future technology. With the Tensor G5 chip, Android 16, and Origin AI Integration, this series could pose a major challenge to companies like Samsung, Apple, and OnePlus.
