US Pixel 10 Pro Pricing Reveals Google's Competitive Choice
Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Pricing
We now have US pricing to go with the European pricing previously reported. The four main model will be priced similarly to the Pixel 9 family. Specifically, the Pixel 10 will start at $799 for the 128 GB model, the Pixel 10 Pro starts at $999, the Pixel 10 Pro XL at $1,199 for 256 GB and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold at $1,799 for 256 GB.
As suspected, Google is dropping the 128 GB model for the Pixel 10 Pro XL. While it was not listed in European pricing, there was a question whether this was a regional quirk, but with European, US, and Canadian pricing all missing the 128 GB option, the higher starting price on the Pixel 10 Pro XL is because there's no 128 GB to 128 GB comparison possible. However, note that the 256 GB to 256 GB price is matched from the Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Pixel 10 And Pixel 10 Pro Design
Google has already confirmed the general design of the Pixel 10 family by publishing a teaser image of the smartphone on the Pixel Store front page. The thinner bezels were on show, as was the third lens added to the Pixel 10's main camera and the smaller camera island.
The real changes will be inside. The move from Samsung to TSMC to manufacture the Tensor Mobile chipset should result in both improved performance and enhanced thermal management. Google will undoubtedly use the Pixel 10 family as the base for the next generation of mobile artificial intelligence, with the Tensor Mobile chip bringing tailored hardware to support the Gemini AI software.
Pixel 10 And Pixel 10 Pro Release
Goole will be holding its 'Made By Google' event on Aug.20 where the new Pixel family of smartphones and accessories will be launched. Retail sales will follow one week later in select regions.

Google might have (partially) solved the Google Nest camera 'no video' fault — here's what we know
Google's Smart Home service has been beset with issues over its lifetime, with some faults lasting for literal years. However, a recent patch might have solved one of the more prolific issues when it comes to Nest Cameras. One of the best uses for Google Home, at least in concept, is to use the smart speaker as a central hub for managing other smart devices. However, there has been a continuous issue when working with Google Nest Cams. The problem, which often arises when users try to check their Nest Camera's history, has users see a message that states: 'This video isn't available yet. Check back later.' Fans have eagerly been awaiting a solution, and it appears Google has delivered, as the released patch notes (via 9to5 Google) for version 3.36 include two relevant bug fixes. The first states: 'Reduced 'no video available' errors: Camera users will see fewer cases where a recent video is not yet available for streaming.' The second reads: 'Camera stream reliability: Fixed an issue where turning a camera off and on during a live stream would result in a 'Camera Unavailable' error, ensuring the stream recovers properly.' While it is nice to see Google is, finally, looking into the error, it is concerning that the notes only mention seeing 'fewer' cases of the problem occurring. However, we'll have to wait and see if reports of the fault start to lessen after the patch. While it is nice to see Google solving one of the longest-surviving issues it has, there's no doubt that Google Home is in a lot of trouble. Over the last few months, we have seen multiple complaints about some of the best Google Home speakers. The problems appeared to stem from Google Assistant, which is slowly being replaced by Google Gemini. The problems ended up getting so bad that Anish Kattukaran, the Chief Product Officer for Google Home and Nest, took to X to apologize and said that the company is working on a long-term solution. However, after only a week, new reports were appearing that the issues were getting worse. This included a Reddit thread that reported that the voice controls for smart lights had stopped working completely. There were even reports of a possible lawsuit in the world. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. All in all, it looks like Google manages to solve one problem only to find another. Hopefully, there is a solution for the Google Home issue that will allow people to use their hardware as intended. If you're a Google Home user, then let us know how your experience is going at the moment. Are you still seeing issues with your service, or have things started to improve?

People aren't happy with the leaked Pixel 10 prices, and for one key reason
🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. Google Pixel 10 leaks have been in full force over the last couple of weeks, and one of the latest leaks is one of the most important yet: Pixel 10 pricing. On the surface, the leaked prices look great. In a world where it seems like everything is getting more expensive, the fact that Pixel 10 prices (for the most part) aren't any higher than the Pixel 9 series is a breath of fresh air. The base Pixel 10 has the same $799 starting price as the Pixel 9, and the Pixel 10 Pro starts at the same $999 price that the Pixel 9 Pro had. The Pixel 9 Pro XL starts at a higher $1,199 price compared to the $1,099 Pixel 9 Pro XL, but that's because Google is reportedly killing the 128GB model and making 256GB the starting storage amount. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold keeps the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's $1,799 price tag. Google Upon first seeing these prices, I was thrilled. However, reading through comments on r/Android, it's apparent that not everyone feels the same way. A lot of folks aren't happy with these Pixel 10 prices, and it's all thanks to how much storage you'll get for your money. For context, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro both come with 128GB for the base model, and that's where a lot of the frustration stems from. 'Phones should start with 256GB as the lowest, default storage,' says one person, while someone else writes, 'Absolutely insane that the Pro line starts at 128[GB].' And as another commenter flatly complained, '128GB in 2025, what a joke.' In addition to the starting storage amounts, people are also unhappy with the maximum storage for the base Pixel 10. As one person writes, 'It kind of sucks that the Pixel 10 is limited to 256GB, and if you want 512GB, you have to go for the Pixel 10 Pro, which will be much more expensive.' Are you happy with the leaked Pixel 10 prices? 0 votes Yes, no price increase is always a good thing. NaN % They're fine, but I wish there were better storage options. NaN % No, they're too dang expensive. NaN % Other (let us know in the comments). NaN % While I'm still pleased that prices have stayed the same for another year, it is frustrating that Google continues to be so stingy on storage. The OnePlus 13, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Motorola Razr Plus (2025), for example, all start at $999 with 256GB of storage. I can understand Google's justification for keeping the base Pixel 10 at 128GB, but the Pixel 10 Pro should really have 256GB as the default. The folks on Reddit are pretty clearly unhappy, but I want to know what you think. Are you happy with these leaked Pixel 10 prices? Do you think 128GB is still an OK starting amount in 2025? Would you have preferred 256GB of base storage even if that meant a higher starting price? Wherever your head is at, cast your vote in the poll above and share any further thoughts in the comments below. Follow

Android Auto now plays nicely with your phone's color scheme
Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR Google is fixing the previous issues with wallpaper-based theming on Android Auto. With this update, base palettes in Android Auto sync more seamlessly with your phone. The update is currently in beta, but some people have also started seeing it in the stable version, suggesting a gradual rollout. Since the official launch of Android 16's stable version, Google has been refreshing many apps with its new 'Expressive' design language. Meanwhile, Android Auto, the app that receives far fewer glimpses, and mostly brief ones, is now adopting Google's older and more prevalent theming style with Material You. With this update, the colors in the Android Auto interface on your car's head unit will now match the wallpaper on your Android phone. While Google first started testing Material You theming for Android Auto last year, there were some issues with color consistency, and it supported only limited colors. However, 9to5Google recently noted that these limitations appear to have been fixed with the latest 14.9 beta update of Android Auto, allowing the interface to sync correctly with the colors on your Android device. The colors now apply consistently to different elements, and are most evident on the Settings app when you access them from within the car. The colors automatically also refresh when you change the wallpaper, aligning with the color scheme on your phone. While 9to5Google spotted these changes on the latest beta version, a few people also reported seeing the splash of colors on their cars' units with the stable version, suggesting Google may have begun rolling it out.
