Pixel 10 Pro Launch Dates Are Later Than Expected
Ewan Spence
Google may be inviting a small pool of influencers to an early preview of the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro; however, the rest of the world might have to wait an extra week to see the latest Android-powered flagships.
Initial reports suggested an event on Aug 13, but signs now point to a Made By Google event one week later.
The new details come from the team at Android Headlines. The event will now take place on Wednesday, Aug 20, with the announced hardware going on retail sale on Thursday, Aug 28. While plans may change, Google is expected to announce four new handsets.
The flagship Pixel 10 Pro and the larger Pixel 10 Pro XL will undoubtedly be the backbone of the four phones launched. These will come with the highest spec camera, memory, and storage options, tailored to Google's mobile artificial intelligence vision. Google's third foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, will follow last year's trend and continue to be part of the main line of Pixels.
The only non-Pro handset is the Pixel 10, and that might be the most interesting Pixel in terms of positioning and market impact, as I've noted previously:
"While the headlines will no doubt focus on the extra features in the Pixel 10 Pro and the larger display of the Pixel 10 Pro XL, the Pixel 10 may have the heaviest impact on the market. The camera's hardware and software will be pushed to the limit, the latest version of Android will steer the conversation around mobile AI towards Google's vision, and the issue of the longevity of mid-range handsets will remain a point of discussion."
The proposed dates of Aug 20 for launch and Aug 28 for availability would put the Pixel 10 launch one week later than last year's Pixel 9 family; 2024's Made By Google event was held on Aug 13, with retail releases on Aug 22 for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL—he Pixel 9 Pro was delayed to Sept. 4.
Now read more about the impact of the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro smartphones on the Android market...

AI helped save the chip industry. What happens if it turns out to be a bust?
Nvidia is now the first company to surge past $4 trillion in market capitalization, rebounding from its DeepSeek-induced slump earlier this year. Other AI chipmakers, including AMD and China's Huawei, are reporting strong financial results. Nearly every major chipmaker is now centering its strategy on AI. But what if AI doesn't work out? This isn't just a hypothetical question. Some signs suggest that AI growth is stalling, or at least slowing down. New models no longer show significant improvements from scaling up size or the amount of training data. Nobel laureate Demis Hassabis recently noted that 'we are no longer getting the same progress' on AI development. Andreessen Horowitz, one of the most prominent investors in AI, similarly shared concerns that AI model capabilities appeared to be plateauing. One reason for AI's slowing performance might be that models have already consumed most available digital data, leaving little left over for further improvement. Developers are instead turning to synthetic data, but it might be less effective—and might even make models worse. AI development is also enormously capital intensive. Training the most advanced models requires compute clusters costing billions of dollars. Even a single training run can cost tens of millions of dollars. Yet while development costs keep going up, monetary rewards are limited. Aside from AI coding assistants, there are few examples of AI generating returns that justify these immense capital investments. Some companies are already scaling back their AI infrastructure investment due to cost. Microsoft, for example, is 'slowing or pausing some early-stage projects' and has canceled equipment orders for several global data center projects. Meta, AWS and Google have all reportedly cut their GPU orders. Chip bottlenecks, power shortages, and public concerns are also barriers to mass AI adoption. If the AI boom peters out, that's bad news for the chip industry, which has used this new technology to avoid a serious slump. Chips are getting more expensive to make. Developing new manufacturing processes cost billions of dollars; building new plants can cost tens of billions of dollars. These costs are all passed onto consumers but, outside of AI, customers aren't keen on buying more expensive chips. The fancy technologies in today's AI processors aren't that useful for other purposes. AI delayed an industry reckoning: Manufacturing is getting more expensive, while performance gains are shrinking. The economic promise of AI justifies high chip prices, but if that goes away, the chip industry needs to find something else to persuade people to sustain investment in advanced chip manufacturing. Otherwise, advanced chipmaking will become unsustainable: New technologies will cost more and more, while delivering less and less. A chip industry slump will upend several geopolitical and economic objectives. Governments have poured billions of dollars into building domestic chip industries. U.S. President Donald Trump routinely threatens to use tariffs to bring semiconductor manufacturing back home. The U.S.'s supposed lead on chip development may prove to be a mirage, particularly as China dominates legacy chip production. And an AI reversal would shake up the world's tech sector, forcing Big Tech to rethink its bets. Given these stakes, policymakers need to encourage further innovation in AI by facilitating easier access to data, chips, power, and cooling. This includes pragmatic policies on copyright and data protection, a balanced approach to onshore and offshore chip manufacturing, and removing regulatory barriers to energy use and generation. Governments shouldn't necessarily apply the precautionary principle to AI; the benefits are too great to handicap its development, at least at these early stages. Nor should large-scale AI applications, such as autonomous vehicles or home robotics, face unreasonably high requirements for implementation. Investors should also explore alternate AI approaches that don't require as much data and infrastructure, potentially unlocking new AI growth. The industry must also explore non-AI applications for chips, if only to manage their risk. To ensure the chip industry can survive a slowdown, it must reduce the cost of advanced chipmaking. Companies should work together on research and development, as well as working with universities, to lower development costs. More investment is needed in chiplets, advanced packaging, and reconfigurable hardware. The industry must support interoperable standards, open-source tools, and agile hardware development. Shared, subsidized infrastructure for design and fabrication can help smaller companies finalize ideas before manufacturing. But, importantly, the drive to onshore manufacturing may be counterproductive: Doing so carelessly will significantly increase chip costs. The future of chips and AI are now deeply intertwined. If chips are to thrive, AI must grow. If not, the entire chip sector may now be in jeopardy.

Share dilution and share-based compensation are also concerns. 10 stocks we like better than › Shares of (NYSE: AI) pulled back through the first half of the year The software-as-a-service (SaaS) company bills itself as offering "AI for the Enterprise" as well as AI-based application software. It continued to post wide losses in its earnings report and fell sharply in February as business and consumer sentiment began to weaken on fears of a trade war. While the stock recovered a bit in the second quarter of the year, it wasn't enough to make up for its struggles earlier in the year. According to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, the stock was down 29% through the first half of the year. The chart below shows how the stock's losses came during a brief period in February. The stock started to slide in February on signs of weakening business and consumer sentiment and as the broad market fell from its peak. stock then fell 10% on Feb. 27 as the company posted another wide loss in its Q3 earnings report. Revenue rose 26% to $98.8 million. On the bottom line, the company continued to be unprofitable as it reported an adjusted loss per share of $0.12. However, its generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net loss of $80.2 million shows it's still losing nearly as much money as it's making in revenue, and its unit economics are barely improving as that loss rose from $72.6 million in the quarter a year ago. has spent heavily on share-based compensation historically, and that pattern continued with $174.4 million in share-based compensation through the first three quarters of the year, or nearly 75% of revenue for that period. In its Q4 report in May, posted similar numbers with revenue up 26% to $108.7 million and an adjusted loss of $0.16 per share. Its GAAP net loss came in at $79.7 million, up from $72.9 million. While the company made progress with its partnerships and added new customers, the business doesn't seem to be growing fast enough to offset the losses, and its gross margins remain low for a software company at 62% in Q4. The company's revenue growth has improved, but still seems to have a long way to go to build the scale necessary to generate a profit and prove its viability. Given its exposure to AI and its growth, the stock has potential over the long term, but the downside risks and the share dilution seem to outweigh those for now.
