Bad news: Google may delay the release of some of its most anticipated Pixel devices
Google TL;DR Google will announce the Pixel 10 series on August 20, 2025. A new leak suggests that the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL will be available by August 28. However, due to reported supply chain issues, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Buds 2a may not be available until October 9. Google has already announced that the Pixel 10 series will be announced on August 20, 2025. Based on previous trends, we expect the phones and accessories to be available for purchase shortly after the announcement. It seems that may not happen this year, at least not for all the products that Google will announce at the Made by Google event. According to a report from WinFuture, Google is facing supply chain issues, specifically for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, the Pixel Watch 4, and the Pixel Buds 2a. Consequently, while these products are still expected to be announced at the August 20 event, Pixel fans may have to wait a long time to actually buy them. The Pixel 10 series phones, namely the Pixel 10, the Pixel 10 Pro, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL, are expected to be available in stores on August 28, per the report. Meanwhile, the report suggests the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, the Pixel Watch 4, and the Pixel Buds 2a will be available in stores on October 9, 2025. The report speculates that new components in these devices may have caused the availability issues, although the exact stress points in the supply chain are unknown. Still, it's sad news, especially for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, as it will lose more ground to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is getting rave reviews these days. The Pixel Watch 4's delay will give more room to Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8 series to attract users. Pixel fans will also be missing out on an updated ecosystem experience from the get-go: The Pixel Watch 4 would likely be the top smartwatch choice for anyone picking up the Pixel 10 series, but now they'll have to wait for about five weeks before they can get the watch in their hands. Remember that this is still a leak, and Google hasn't shared any availability details yet. We hope to learn more on August 20 when Google officially announces the Pixel 10 series. Follow

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?

A beloved Pixel feature is getting a small change in a beta release and not everyone approves
If you're a Pixel fan, you probably enjoy the At a Glance widget located at the top of the Pixel home screen, lock screen, and Always On Display (AOD). The widget delivers timely and useful information. Besides showing the date and current weather conditions, the At a Glance widget will alert users to: Air quality readings Severe weather alerts Earthquake alerts Upcoming events including those in your calendar, hotel reservations, and reminders Status of delivery and pickup orders Shows when a package will be collected or delivered Traffic and travel time for your commute Recommended departure time to make upcoming event Flight, trains, other travel info culled from Gmail Fitness info from selected fitness apps Safety check countdown from the Personal Safety app Timer & stopwatch info from your phone and home devices Connection and battery status for Pixel Buds and other connected devices Timer information from home devices See images from your Nest or Ring doorbell camera Shortcut turns on the phone's flashlight and reminds you when it's on With the stable version of Android 16 already installed by most users with an eligible Pixel model (which happens to be the Pixel 6 and up), many of the same devices are now running the Android 16 QPR1 beta, which is a beta version of the upcoming Quarterly Platform Release due in September. One Redditor who uses the name "samhot66" on the platform noticed a month ago that the beta made the current weather icon in the At a Glance widget show up in white instead of having the colorful look it usually had. The latest beta release of Android 16 QPR1 continues to show the same color-free look for the weather icon in the At a Glance widget. This lessens the possibility that the removal of color from the icon is something Google is just trying during the beta. At left, the old look with a yellow sun icon and at right, the new color-free weather icon for the widget. | Image credit-"samhot66 For example, on a sunny day, the sun icon would be yellow. Now, the icon appears in white. The ensuing battle on Reddit shows how important At a Glance is among Pixel users with some happy with the new look ("I actually prefer it without colors. Cleaner. The colored icons we had were pretty ugly"). Others were ready to go marching to Mountain View with pitchforks and torches ("It's terrible and takes up the whole top of the screen. I'm not a fan"). Others pitched a solution ("So y'all complained about it taking up too much home screen space so they fixed it and now y'all are complaining it looks ugly? Google legit can't please you people just buy an iPhone"). Perhaps the most obvious response was the one that suggested Google add a toggle so Pixel users can bring back the color for the icons if they like it better, while those who disapprove can leave the color off.
