Google Store launches in India
Until now, Google's products - especially smartphones - were sold in India only through online retailer Flipkart and partner offline retail outlets, including Croma, Vijay Sales, and Reliance. That changes today as Google has announced the launch of the Google Store in India, allowing direct purchase of its products from its online store.
Benefits of purchasing Google products from the Google Store include no-cost EMI options, instant cashback, device exchange bonus, UPI payment option, Google Store discount, and Google Store credits (some offers end on June 30, 2025).
The products purchased through the Google Store also come with the Pixel Price Promise, meaning "every device is 100% authentic" and "if you find a better price at a selected retail partner or on Google Store within the return period, you may be eligible for a partial refund from Pixel Price Promise to match the lower price."
Additionally, customers purchasing products from the Google Store receive 24/7 support from Pixel-trained experts and coverage through official warranties and authorized repair centers in India. Some centers also provide same-day service.
In its official blog, Google stated that customers can initiate repair requests and schedule free doorstep pickup directly from the website. They can also have their device delivered to their address after repair for free via mail service.

Pixel Superfans invite hints Pixel 10 phones could launch earlier than their predecessors
Google unveiled the Pixel 9 series smartphones (except the Pixel 9a) last year in August, and if you expected the Pixel 10 lineup to follow the same launch timeframe, that might not be the case since the Pixel Superfans invite hints at an early launch of the Pixel 10 series. Google Pixel 9a The folks at Android Authority shared an invite sent by Google to the Pixel Superfans for a 1.5-hour Pixel Penthouse event in London on June 27, where "they will get hands on with pre-release Pixel devices and features." Google's Pixel Penthouse event invite for Pixel Superfans The invite doesn't divulge anything about these pre-release Pixel devices, but if we had to guess, these would be the Pixel 10 smartphones. Google says the Pixel Penthouse is "this year's exclusive pre-launch event," hinting at an earlier-than-expected launch of the Pixel 10 series, possibly by the end of July. Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold's leaked renders (Source: Android Headlines) Remember that Android 16 is also slated to get a stable release earlier than Android 15. Google confirmed that it would be released in Q2 2025, meaning before the end of June, so the launch of the Pixel 10 series sometime in July is very much possible. Source

Invitation from Google hints at earlier than expected Pixel 10 release
Google used to release the latest Pixel models each October but this became a problem. With Apple launching its newest iPhone handsets each September, those looking for a new phone and blessed with having money in their pockets wouldn't feel like waiting for the new Pixel. They would see that there was a new iPhone available and would buy it. So Google decided to release last year's Pixel 9 series in August leapfrogging the release of the iPhone 16 series. Now, Google appears to be looking to move up the release of the Pixel 10 to late June or early July. Some Pixel Superfans have received an invitation to Pixel Penthouse. Google says that this is 2025's exclusive pre-launch event and that it will be attended by 25 "lucky" Superfans who will be allowed to get handsy with pre-release Pixel devices while also checking out new features. They will also receive what Google calls "Pixel-themed goodies." 25 lucky Pixel Superfans will get to go hands-on with new Pixel handsets and features late next month. | Image credit-Android Authority The event is taking place in London on June 27th and it will run for 90 minutes. The Superfans will also have the opportunity to sit in on a Q&A session with real-life Googlers. The Superfans who received the invite will need to answer some questions posed to them by Google to see if they are worthy enough to be one of the lucky 25 Superfans attending the Pixel Penthouse.R The questions are: What is your favorite Pixel feature and why? What does being a Pixel Superfan mean to you? When purchasing a Pixel what information or offers do you look for? When you receive your new Pixel, is there anything more that we could provide that would create more of a special moment when transferring to your new Pixel? Respond to the questions and submit the answers to Google. The winners will be announced on June 11th. To add some credence to the idea that Google will unveil and release the Pixel 10 earlier this year, Android 16 is expected to be released in early June which makes it quite likely that we will see the Pixel 10 hit the market in late June, or early July. The Pixel 10 series will be powered by the Tensor G5 which will be the first Tensor application processor (AP) made by TSMC instead of Samsung Foundry. It was also designed from scratch by Google getting rid of the Exynos base that all previous Tensor APs used. This should allow Google to design some exclusive features into the Tensor G5 which will be built by TSMC on its second-generation 3nm node (N3E). If you live in the U.S., you can try to be a Pixel Superfan by tapping on this link and filling out the form. You must be over 18 and not employed by Google or the government. And you cannot be a member of the press which probably explains why I've unfortunately never been able to join.

Gemini now summarizes Gmail emails automatically and by default
Gemini will start summarizing your emails in Gmail automatically and by default. The summaries will appear at the top of the email content "for messages where a summary is helpful", Google says, "such as longer email threads or messages with several replies". Gemini will synthesize all the key points from the email thread and will automatically update the summary to include information from any subsequent replies. Before, you needed to tap "Summarize this email" at the top of a message in order to get this functionality that is now on by default and automatic. The feature is currently only rolling out for emails in English. For those emails that aren't flagged by Gemini as being ones where a summary would be helpful, it won't be automatically generated but you can still manually prompt it by tapping the Summarize this email chip at the top. The rollout to everyone is expected to take up to 15 days. Note that this will only be available, for now, to Google Workspace subscribers, Google One AI Premium subscribers, and customers with Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium. Source
