Google Confirms Pixel 10 Launch for August 20, Reveals Design and India Pre-Order Plans

Google has officially locked in the launch date for its next-generation Pixel smartphones. The much-anticipated Pixel 10 lineup will be unveiled on August 20 during the company's Made by Google event. The reveal was confirmed via a teaser posted on the Google Store website, which not only hints at the device's design but also introduces a limited-time offer for early subscribers. Sleek Design with Familiar Touches The teaser features the Pixel 10 Pro, showcasing a design language reminiscent of the Pixel 9 Pro. Key highlights include a horizontal camera bar housing three camera sensors alongside an LED flash — a setup that may extend to the base Pixel 10 model this year, marking a significant upgrade. In the teaser, the Pixel 10 Pro is shown in a new Moonstone finish — a soft, light grey tone with a matte back and a glossy metal frame. The device retains its boxy silhouette with flat edges and subtly curved corners. Both the power and volume buttons remain positioned on the right, consistent with prior Pixel designs. Pre-Order Discount and India Availability Google is offering a special discount to users who sign up for email updates on the Google Store by August 18 (12:30 PM IST). Those who register will receive a unique discount code on launch day, August 20, applicable to a single Pixel 10 device during pre-orders. Note that the offer is limited to Pixel 10 smartphones and excludes other Google hardware or services. Pre-orders are expected to begin on August 21, a day after the global announcement. Although full specifications are yet to be disclosed, more information is anticipated in the days ahead. India is expected to be among the first countries to get the new Pixel 10 series as part of Google's growing commitment to the market.

The phone features a large horizontal camera bar on the back with three camera sensors and an LED flash. This design suggests the model shown is likely the Pro or Pro XL version. However, there have been reports that even the regular Pixel 10 might come with a triple camera setup this year, which would be a first for the base Pixel 10 Pro is shown in a colour called Moonstone, which is a light grey shade with a matte finish on the back and a shiny metal frame.

Made by Google 2025 — Pixel 10, Pixel Watch 4 and what else could appear

A date's been set for the next Made by Google event. Now it's just a matter of figuring out which hardware will be appearing at the annual showcase for the company's latest releases. Google sent out invites for the August 20 event last week, marking the second year in a row that Google's launch event would be held in the summer. Previously, Google held its product launches in early October, so that new phones, smart watches and other gear would be on hand for the holiday shopping season. The event takes place at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT / 6 p.m. BST on August 20, with Google holding the launch in New York. There's no details yet on a Made by Google live stream, though we'd expect that you'll be able to watch all the product news on Google's YouTube channel. As to what the company plans to announce at Made by Google, there's not a lot of mystery as to potential product launches. New Pixel phones always seem to be the centerpiece of Google's hardware event, and there are enough rumors about the Pixel 10 — including teasers from Google itself — to suggest that a launch is imminent. The timing of Google's August 20 event would also seem to line up with a Pixel Watch release, as Google readies an update to its smartwatch lineup. There's also talk of new accessories at Made by Google as well as a few surprise reveals. We're now less than a month away from Made by Google 2025. Here's a look at all the possible announcements that we know of right now. Check back for updates as we get closer to the event itself. The standard Pixel 10 phone could be the biggest announcement at Made by Google, as it appears to be the recipient of the most significant changes. Specifically, rumors point to the entry-level flagship gaining a dedicated telephoto lens after Google previously restricted that feature to its Pro phones. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Renders for the Pixel 10 certainly show off a third rear lens, though rumors suggest it won't match the resolution of the 48MP zoom camera on the Pro phones. Nevertheless, adding a telephoto lens would put the Pixel on par with the Galaxy S25, another phone in the Pixel's price range that offers a zoom camera. The Pixel 10's ultrawide camera could also turn to a lesser sensor than the one inside in the Pixel 9. As for other changes, we're expecting a Tensor G5 chip that ushers in new AI capabilities. Google's silicon might be moving to a 3nm process, which would mean a boost in performance and power efficiency over the 4nm Tensor G4, though another rumor posits that the G5 will also be a 4nm chipset. While the Pixel 9a dropped Google's distinctive camera bar, that feature seems to be returning based on renders of the Pixel 10. We're once again expecting a 6.3-inch display. Google dropped its own Pixel 10 teaser ahead of the August 20 hardware event, and the back of the phone in Google's image is consistent with all of these rumors — including the probability of a third rear camera appearing on that phone. Besides the Pixel 10, expect a new batch of Pro models, with Google tipped to feature the same sizes as last year. That would mean a 6.3-inch Pixel 10 Pro, a 6.8-inch Pixel 10 Pro XL and a Pixel 10 Pro Fold with a foldable display similar to the design of the just-announced Galaxy Z Fold 7. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold's cover display could be larger, even if the main screen remains at 8 inches. One display change set for the Pro models could be improved Pulse with Modulation Dimming, a change that would combat eye strain. Like the standard Pixel 10, the Pro models are expected to turn to the Tensor G5 chipset, with the added bonus of a vapor cooling chamber to help performance. Google could also be lining up larger batteries for all three Pro models, addressing the longevity gap between Google's Pixel phones and leading flagships from Apple and Samsung. Where Pixel phones debut, Pixel Watches often follow. The 2024 Made by Google hardware event saw the Pixel Watch 3 join the Pixel 9 announcement, so we wouldn't be surprised if the Pixel Watch 4 debuts alongside the Pixel 10 phones. We could be surprised by new features, though as Pixel Watch 4 rumors haven't told us much about what to expect. Leaked renders have hinted at a thicker device that offers thinner bezels. The 41mm and 45mm sizes that debuted with the Pixel Watch 3 are set to return. Other details have hinted at additional buttons and wireless charging support. And we'd count on the Pixel Watch 4 introducing new health and fitness tracking features to make the device a more appealing alternative to the Fitbit business Google is slowly winding down. The Pixel Buds A-Series debuted in 2021 as a lower-cost version of Google's Pixel Bud wireless earbuds. A sequel could be coming at Made by Google in August, with a leak earlier this month promising new colors for what's being called the Pixel Buds 2a. A new color shade has also been tipped for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. Apart from the new colors, there's been no rumors about new features for the earbuds, though leaked pricing indicates a €40 price hike in Europe from the current Pixel Buds A-Series. The new version of Google's phone software arrived earlier than usual this year, meaning that the Pixel 10 phones will almost certainly ship with Android 16 pre-installed. The only question is whether a new software interface will arrive with it. Google previewed Material 3 Expressive in May, showing off the fluid and bouncy look along with added personalization features. At the time, Google said the interface update would show up on software "later this year," and the August 20 Made by Google date would certainly fall in that description, even if the event figures to primarily focus on hardware.

Google Pixel Watch 4 may get new features, bigger batteries: What to expect

Ahead of the Made by Google event on August 20, key feature enhancements and alleged prices of the Pixel Watch 4 series have surfaced on the web New Delhi The anticipated Google Pixel Watch 4 series is expected to bring modest upgrades, with a few notable enhancements. According to a report by Android Headlines, slightly bigger batteries, new colour options, and subtle hardware tweaks aimed at allowing repairability of the Pixel Watches are expected in the upcoming series. Additionally, as per a 9To5Google report, a French deals and coupons platform has revealed pricing information of the Pixel Watch 4 series. Notably, Google has scheduled the Made by Google event for August 20 where it is expected to unveil the Pixel Watch 4 lineup, alongside the next generation Pixel 10 series smartphones. Here is what consumers can expect from the Pixel Watch 4 series. Google Pixel Watch 4 series: What to expect According to a consumer technology focused news platform, Android Headlines, one key addition that consumers can expect from the next generation of Pixel watches is the extension of blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring. Unlike current models that track SpO2 only during sleep, the Pixel Watch 4 may offer all-day monitoring, with alerts for low oxygen levels. The report also hints at a possible 'Emergency Satellite Communications' feature, though specifics remain unclear at the moment. Another new function tied to Android 16 is "notification cooldown," which reduces notification noise by disabling sounds and vibrations when alerts come in too frequently. This is expected to be available on the Pixel Watch 4, likely as part of the broader Wear OS 6 update. As for the processor, the Pixel Watch 4 series is expected to be powered by Snapdragon W5 Gen 1, akin to its predecessor. However, it might ship with a new co-processor (likely a Cortex-M55) that could allow Google to do more, especially around AI. The 41mm model may feature a 327mAh battery (a seven per cent increase over the Watch 3's 307mAh), and the 45mm model a 459mAh battery (a nine per cent increase over the Watch 3's 420mAh). Google Pixel Watch 4 series: Expected pricing As per the 9To5Google report, the Pixel Watch 4 (41mm) is expected to be priced at 399 Euros for the Wi-Fi model and 499 Euros for the LTE variant in France. The larger 45mm version is likely to cost 449 Euros for Wi-Fi and 549 Euros for LTE.

Top Tech: Google sets Pixel 10 launch date as Pixel 9 falls to new low price

We finally have a date for the next Made By Google event where the tech giant is expected to unveil its new Pixel 10 smartphone range, but the previous model has jus dropped by more than £300. Google has finally set a date for the new Pixel 10 launch. The tech giant has confirmed its annual Made by Google event will be held on August 20 in New York City, where it will showcase its latest Pixel devices including phones, watches and earbuds. Chief among these is the new Pixel smartphone series, which is expected to include the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The latest range is likely to follow a similar design to the Pixel 9 range, while its processing power will be upgraded with the Tensor 5 chip, according to the Daily Express. Official details are being kept under wraps, so there's no word yet on the price of the new models, but if history is anything to go by, we could expect the standard Pixel 10 to debut at £799 – the Pixel 9's 2024 launch price. This matches the launch price of both the Apple iPhone 16 and Samsung Galaxy S25, but it's still quite a price tag. However, ahead of the launch, prices for Google's previous handset, the Pixel 9, have been dropping across the web. The biggest price cut we've seen is at Amazon, where an unlocked Google Pixel 9 256GB has been reduced from £899 to £597 – a £302 discount and a new low, according to price tracker camelcamelcamel. There's also a big drop on the 128GB model as it drops from £799 to £549, which could persuade shoppers not to hold out for the new model. Both deals are for the Obsidian black handset, with prices varying for the Peony, Porcelain and Wintergreen editions. Amazon isn't the only retailer tempting Google fans though, as Sky Mobile offers the Pixel 9 128GB for £21 when spreading the cost. The catch is that this price comes on a 36-month contract and has a £12 upfront cost. It's also worth noting that the price is just for the handset, so buyers must also take out a Sky data plan ranging from £0 for 100MB to £20 for unlimited. A more cost-effective option comes via Currys-back retailer which is also throwing in free Pixel Buds A Series, Pixel Buds Pro 2 or Pixel Watch 3 with select plans. A decent entry-level tariff is iD Mobile's £24.99 per month plan, with £9 upfront. Although more expensive than Sky's handset cost, this also comes with 100GB of data, so there's no data add-on needed here. Do remember that, like most providers, iD Mobile plans to raise its prices every April, with this tariff increasing to £26.49 from April 2026 and £27.99 from April 2027. This brings the total ownership cost to £635.76, making Amazon the most affordable option for those happy to buy outright. Google has some stiff competition, though, with the new Samsung Z Flip7 due to launch on July 25. Sky is just one of the retailers tempting shoppers into getting their orders in early by throwing in a Galaxy Watch8 worth £319 and offering 512GB storage for the price of 256GB on its £35 plan. But the Google Pixel 9 has won over Amazon customers, who have awarded it an average 4.4-star rating. One satisfied shopper said: 'Excellent product. Has a sleek design and lightweight, lovely features and great value for money. It is also very easy to use.' Another said: 'Good all-round phone. Good, solid case. Clear screen with Android 14 but upgraded to 15. Includes Gemini AI software. Seems intuitive, but only time will tell how useful it is.' The same buyer noted a downside, adding: 'Only criticism is no SD card slot to increase memory. If you take and store a lot of photos you will have to keep transferring to another memory medium.' While another five-star review said: 'Brilliant. Phone feels quality, build is excellent. The transfer of data from a Samsung S21 was simple. The camera is excellent. OS is less fussy than Samsung.'
