Google Pixel 10 series, Watch 4, Buds 2a launch: When and where to watch the livestream
The Pixel 10 series is expected to headline the announcements, with four handsets tipped to arrive: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The standard Pixel 10 is likely to include the most notable changes from last year's lineup, including new colours, Indigo, Frost and Limoncello and the addition of a telephoto lens, a first for a non-Pro model. It is expected to run on Google's Tensor G5 chip, built by TSMC, paired with a nearly 5,000mAh battery.
The Pixel 10 Pro is rumoured to feature a 6.3-inch AMOLED display, a 4,870mAh battery and the same processor, with colour variants such as Moonstone, Obsidian, Jade and Porcelain. The Pixel 10 Pro XL could be positioned as the larger option, reportedly offering a 6.8-inch display with up to 3,000 nits peak brightness, up to 16GB RAM, and storage extending to 1TB. It may house a 5,200mAh battery with 39W wired charging and a triple-camera array comprising 50MP, 48MP ultra-wide and 48MP telephoto sensors.
The foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold has already been teased by Google, showing slimmer bezels and a 6.4-inch cover display. Reports point to a 5,015mAh battery with both wired and wireless charging options, including Qi2 compatibility, and the same Tensor G5 processor as the rest of the lineup.
Outside of smartphones, Google might be preparing to reveal the Pixel Watch 4. The smartwatch is expected to come in two case sizes, 41mm and 45mm, with both Wi-Fi and LTE versions. Leaked pricing suggests the 41mm Wi-Fi model will be $349, while the 45mm LTE version will be $449. A new cradle-based charging system is said to replace the magnetic puck, offering faster speeds, with half a charge reportedly achievable in 15 minutes. Buyers may also receive limited-time access to Fitbit Premium and YouTube Premium.
Google's audio segment could also see an update with the Pixel Buds 2a, a successor to the Buds A-series launched in 2021. The new earbuds are tipped to arrive in Iris, Strawberry and Fog Light, retaining a familiar design but with refinements. Battery life and sound clarity are expected to improve, and the earbuds may be bundled with Pixel 10 devices in some regions.
The event is expected to consolidate weeks of leaks and speculation, with full details confirmed once the products are officially presented on Wednesday.

Attention Gmail users! Google warns of hidden AI scam stealing passwords, 1.8 billion accounts vulnerable
Google has warned its 1.8 billion Gmail users worldwide of a new cybersecurity threat that exploits advances in artificial intelligence, reported Men's Journal. The company has reportedly raised the alarm overindirect prompt injections, a form of attack that it says could target individuals, businesses and even governments. In a recent blog post, Google explained that unlike direct prompt injections, where hackers enter malicious commands into an AI tool, indirect attacks involve hiding harmful instructions within external sources such as emails, documents or calendar invites. Once processed, these instructions can trick the system into exposing sensitive information or carrying out unauthorised actions. 'With the rapid adoption of generative AI, a new wave of threats is emerging across the industry,' the company wrote, warning that the risk becomes more significant as AI is used more widely for professional and personal tasks. Technology expert Scott Polderman toldThe Daily Record that attackers are exploiting Gemini, Google's own AI chatbot, to conduct such scams. He explained that malicious code can be concealed within an email and, when read by Gemini, used to extract login details without the user realising. 'The danger is that people don't need to click on anything,' Polderman said. 'Hidden instructions can cause the AI to reveal passwords and other data, effectively turning the system against itself.' Google has reportedly said it has already begun rolling out new protections. These include strengthening its Gemini 2.5 model, introducing machine-learning systems to spot suspicious prompts, and adding wider security measures at the system level. According to the company, these layers are designed to raise the difficulty and expense of such attacks, forcing cybercriminals to use less subtle and more detectable methods. The warning comes amid growing concern about how artificial intelligence could be manipulated for malicious purposes, highlighting the potential risks of embedding AI tools into everyday services relied upon by billions of users worldwide.
