If these Google Pixel 10 leaked prices are correct, I'll be impressed when it launches
Looking forward to Google's flagship upcoming phone for 2025? There's a lot to look forward to, with rumours suggesting a big update to the chipset, some huge camera upgrades, and potentially all-new sensors. But the best part? It looks like you might be able to get the Pixel 10 series for the same price as the Pixel 9 line-up – and I'll be mightily impressed if this turns out to be the case. Read more: Best phones to buy in 2025 reviewed and ranked Now, this isn't anything we haven't seen before. But in a year where Apple's likely sharpening its price hike sword, Google's restraint is… well, impressive. This latest report comes from WinFuture's Roland Quandt, and details alleged prices for all Pixel 10 models. According to Quandt, the Pixel 10 will retail for €899 (likely $799/£799), starting at 128GB. The Pixel 10 Pro will begin at €1099 (likely $999/£999) for the same storage, while the Pro XL jumps to €1299 (likely $1199/£1199), but now starts at 256GB. And if you're in the market for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, expect to fork over €1899 (likely $1799/£1749) – again, for 256 GB. Quandt only shared the Euro prices, but I've added in other currencies since it's the exact same pricing playbook as last year's Pixel 9 line-up. Google's also expected to introduce a range of new colours. The base Pixel 10 will get its usual playful line-up with Obsidian, Frost, Indigo and Lemongrass. Meanwhile, the Pro models are expected to lean more minimalist with Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone, and Jade. The 1TB models will allegedly stick to Obsidian… for some reason. While I appreciate the lack of a price bump, there's still the reality that €1899 for a foldable is eye-watering. That's especially the case when there are options with better specs for a similar price. Still, the base Pixel 10 model at $799/£799/€899, if it delivers on the upgrades it's rumoured to include, could be a contender for the best smartphone of the year. If you're eyeing the Pixel 10 series, it is expected to debut on 20 August. The phones will likely hit shelves (and doormats) a week later. If these prices are correct, I'll be impressed with the big G.

Google Pixel 10 price leaked ahead of August launch
Pixel fans, are you ready for the next-gen phones? While Google is keeping the details under wraps, the rumours and leaks have covered it all. And now it looks like Google's next-gen smartphones are sticking to familiar territory when it comes to pricing. According to a tipster, Roland Quandt of WinFuture, the entire Pixel 10 lineup in Europe will carry the exact same price tags as the Pixel 9 series. So, if you were hoping for a surprise discount or bracing for a price hike, well, neither is Pixel 10 lineup prices (leaked)At the top end of the price pyramid is the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google's sleek foldable flagship, which may start at 1,899 (around Rs 1,72,000) for the 256GB version and go all the way up to 2,289 (around Rs 2,07,500) for the 1TB variant. That top-tier storage option is new this year, a bit of added luxury, if you can afford it. Credit: Bluesky Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro XL has seen a subtle reshuffle. While prices remain identical to the Pixel 9 Pro XL, Google has removed the base 128GB model. Now, the Pro XL starts at 256GB for 1,299 (around Rs 1,17,700), followed by 512GB at 1,429 (approximately Rs 1,29,500), and a massive 1TB at 1,689 (around Rs 1,53,100). Technically, that does mean the entry point for the XL model has gone up, but only because the cheapest version is no longer part of the family. As for the standard Pixel 10, prices begin at 899 (around Rs 81,500) for 128GB and go up to 999 (around Rs 90,600) for the 256GB version. The Pixel 10 Pro remains the versatile middle child with four storage options: 128GB at 1,099 (around Rs 99,500), 256GB at 1,199 (approx Rs 1,08,500), 512GB at 1,329 (around Rs 1,20,200), and the maxed-out 1TB model at 1,589 (around Rs 1,44,200).In short, if you already memorised last year's Pixel 9 pricing, congratulations! You're fully prepared for this year's launch. The only real shakeups are the storage changes on the XL and Fold variants. If you were swayed by that earlier rumour claiming the Fold would be cheaper this time? Yeah, that one's officially Google seems to be keeping things steady in Europe, it's still unclear if the US and other global markets will see price adjustments. That said, the Indian market usually mimics the same as Europe. Google Pixel Buds 2a may get a price hikeInterestingly, while phones remain flat on the pricing graph, Google's next-gen earbuds are getting a bit more expensive. The upcoming Pixel Buds 2a, which surfaced earlier this month, are set to launch at 149 (approx Rs 13,500), a noticeable bump from the original Pixel Buds A-Series, which retailed for 109 (around Rs 9,800). That's a roughly Rs 3,700 jump, which might sting a little for budget-conscious Pixel 10 lineup: Expected launch The speculation is that Google will follow the tradition of launching its flagship series in August. The Google Pixel 10 lineup is expected to launch in August. - Ends

Google's Aggressive Pixel 10 Pro Pricing Decision
Pixel 9 Pro XL Ahead of a launch in late August, more details on the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro handsets are becoming clear. This week, we have more of an idea on Google's pricing strategy, and it looks both familiar and aggressive. Pixel 10 And Pixel 10 Pro Pricing The details come from WinFuture's Roland Quandt. European pricing shows that the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold will all go on sale with the same pricing for the same storage options. That means the Pixel 10 will start at €899 with 128 GB storage, the Pixel 10 Pro starting at €1,099 for 128 GB, the Pixel 10 Pro XL at €1,299 for 256 GB and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold at €1,899 for 256 GB, Of note, there is no listing for a 128 GB variant of the Pixel 10 Pro XL; for 2025 the Pro XL storage starts at 256 GB in Europe. It may be that availability in the territory is limited, or Google has decided to drop this option. That should become clear as we get closer to the launch date. With smartphone prices sneaking up across the various portfolios, Google retaining the pricing on the Pixel family can be seen as an aggressive push to The Pixel 10 Priority While many will be drawn to the premium experience that the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will deliver, the base Pixel 10 may be the key handset in this family. With an expected move from the Pixel 9's two camera lenses on the main camera to three, the new Tensor G5 mobile chipset, and the increased use of generative AI, the Pixel 10 is the smartphone most likely to reshape the market with its €899 price tag. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold's New Focus One pricing decision that may come as a disappointment is with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. It has been previously reported that Google would aggressively price its foldable to focus the foldable market on a general consumer audience. Instead, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold pricing on show here matches the Pro Fold from 2024—matching the other smartphones in the Pixel 10 family. With Samsung's increased focus on the consumer experience with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip 7, plus Honor's prioritisation of design and fashion with the Magic V5, perhaps Google is focusing on using the Pixel 10 Pro Fold as an ongoing reference design for this part of the market? Pixel 10 Pro Launch Dates Google is widely expected to launch the Pixel 10 family at a 'Made By Google' event on Aug. 20, with a retail release the following week.

Samsung launch details leak early, full lineup revealed in marketing materials
Samsung's big Galaxy Unpacked event is mere hours away, but it looks like the surprises won't be surprises any more. According to the latest development, new marketing images have leaked online, giving us a clear look at the entire lineup expected to be unveiled. These include the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, and the Galaxy Watch 8 series. The leaks come from tipster Roland Quandt, who shared promotional images that not only show what these devices will look like but also reveal key features and with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the leaked marketing materials confirm three colours: Blue Shadow, Jet Black, and Silver Shadow. The phone is being promoted as Samsung's thinnest and lightest Fold yet, measuring just 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm when open, with a weight of 216 grams. Interestingly, there seems to be no mention of the S Pen in the images. In fact, there are no accessories or cases shown that support the S Pen either, suggesting that Samsung may have dropped support for it this year. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also said to feature a 200-megapixel camera and a 4,400mAh battery. Samsung is also touting faster performance with a 38 per cent bump in CPU, 26 per cent improvement in GPU, and 41 per cent faster AI for the Galaxy Z Flip 7, the phone also appears in three colours: Blue Shadow, Coral Red, and Jet Black. The cover display has been upgraded and now supports up to 2,600 nits of brightness, which should make it easier to use in bright sunlight. A 50-megapixel main camera and a larger 4,300mAh battery are also listed in the specs. Galaxy AI features are visible on both the main and cover displays in the images. Credit: Roland Quandt The leaks also confirm the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, a more affordable version of the Flip series. This one will come in black and white colour options. It is expected to feature a 6.7-inch main display with 2,600 nits of brightness, a 50-megapixel main camera, and a 4,000mAh battery. Galaxy AI is also supported here, according to the marketing from the foldables, the Galaxy Watch 8 series is also seen in the images. While not much is detailed, the watches appear alongside the phones in the promotional material, hinting at a joint launch. More details about the Watch 8 models are likely to surface during the event.- Ends

Is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 about to drop support for the S Pen stylus?
Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked foldable phone launch event is taking place later today, but there have been several leaks over the last couple of days that are confirming a lot of the leaked information I've seen previously. A large edge-to-edge cover display for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 seems to be in the offing thanks to a hands on leak (via SamMobile), while we've also heard the new flip is 0.2in bigger than its predecessor at 6.9in. But perhaps more interestingly. there's an interesting observation from serial leaker Roland Quandt – namely that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 doesn't appear to support Samsung's long-present S Pen stylus. Quandt made the observation in a post on Bluesky (via The Verge) after some marketing materials were leaked and named the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE (yes there could be an FE version launching straightaway as well). The Fold has never supported the stylus in terms of having a slot for it, but you could buy a case for the phone that would house the supported S Pen. However, the lack of mention would seem to indicate that these days are numbered. Samsung' big reveal of the new devices is happening later today. It's an in-person event in Brooklyn, New York but there is also a a livestream that goes live at 10am ET/3pm BST. This year, we're expecting an Ultra foldable model for the first time, alongside new versions of the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. All will be running Samsung's One UI 8 software. The Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic should also make an appearance during the event. It's also rumoured that we'll get a preview of Samsung's upcoming tri-fold phone. Samsung wouldn't be the first to do a tri-fold, but it certainly wouldn't be late to the party. Tecno previewed its tri-fold concept only this week. Play
