All eyes are on Google after Samsung, Vivo unveil premium foldable devices

With Samsung and Vivo unveiling their latest foldables, Google could be next in line for a major hardware launch. The company is expected to host its Made by Google 2025 event next month, where it will likely introduce the Pixel 10 series, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and updated wearables like the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a. Made By Google 2025: Expected schedule Last year, Google moved its Pixel launch timeline from October to August, revealing devices earlier than usual. A similar schedule is expected this year, with the Made by Google 2025 event likely to take place in the second week of August. For context, the 2024 edition was held on August 13. According to 9to5Google, the Pixel 10 lineup could be unveiled by mid-August, with deliveries potentially starting around August 20. Made By Google 2025: Pixel 10 series, Pixel Watch 4, Buds 2a expected Pixel 10 series: The anticipated Google Pixel 10 series is expected to encompass four models: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Google is unlikely to introduce a major design overhaul this year, instead opting for subtle refinements. However, notable changes are expected in the camera department, particularly for the base model. The standard Pixel 10 may adopt the same main and ultra-wide camera sensors seen in the Pixel 9a, which would represent a downgrade compared to the Pixel 9. It might compensate for this by adding a telephoto lens with 5x periscope-style optical zoom, similar to the one found on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are expected to retain their current camera systems, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may also switch to the Pixel 9a's primary sensor, replacing the higher-resolution sensor previously used in the foldable model. All four devices are expected to run on Google's upcoming Tensor G5 chipset and boot Android 16 out of the box. Last year, Pixel 9 launched with Android 14 even though Android 15 was already in preview. Google is likely to change that this year as Android 16 is already rolling out to eligible Pixel devices. Additionally, the Pro models may support the Qi2 wireless charging standard. Alongside the Pixel 10 series smartphones, Google is anticipated to launch wearable devices including the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a. Pixel Watch 4: Details on the Pixel Watch 4 remain limited, but TechRadar recently reported that it will be available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, similar to the previous generation. It may also be offered in new colour variants, including: Silver/Porcelain Silver/Iris Gray/Moonstone Black/Obsidian Gold/Lemon Pixel Buds 2a: Google is also expected to refresh its Pixel Buds A-series lineup with a new model, likely called Pixel Buds 2a. These earbuds are tipped to include updated audio drivers for improved sound quality and new colour options like: Hazel Strawberry Iris Fog Light Made By Google 2025: Expected pricing of Pixel 10 series According to a recent 9to5Google report, pricing for the Pixel 10 lineup will largely mirror last year's Pixel 9 series. Here's a look at the anticipated European pricing: As for accessories, the Pixel Buds 2a are expected to be priced at €149, up from €109 for the original Pixel Buds A-Series.

Google Pixel 10 family's prices in Europe leak

Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 family at an event on August 20, and ahead of that today a new leak purportedly brings us Eurozone pricing for the entire family, along with the Pixel Buds 2a. So, here's the entire price list in a handy table - it looks like the prices will be unchanged from the Pixel 9 devices last year. Google Pixel 10 Google Pixel 10 Pro Google Pixel 10 Pro XL Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold 128GB €899 €1,099 - - 256GB €999 €1,199 €1,299 €1,899 512GB - €1,329 €1,429 €2,029 1TB - €1,589 €1,689 €2,289 The Pixel 10 Pro XL will start at 256GB unlike its predecessor which also had a 128GB option, and 1TB of storage versions will be available for the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro Fold despite the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold not getting such variants. The new Pixel 10 phones will all be powered by Google's Tensor G5 chipset, the first one built on a TSMC process. Looks-wise they're all expected to remain very similar to their predecessors, but the vanilla Pixel 10 is getting a telephoto camera - and all of the phones' telephotos are also rumored to come with macro shooting abilities. As for the Pixel Buds 2a, these will allegedly be priced at €149. Source

Pixel Buds 2a could launch in four colours, Pro 2 gets ‘Sterling' finish: Leak

In the lead-up to Google's anticipated Pixel 10 launch, a fresh leak has provided a clearer picture of the first-party accessories and product variants likely to debut alongside the next-generation smartphones, reported 9To5Google. Among the most notable leaks are new audio accessories, expectedly expanded colour palettes, and larger storage configurations. According to information shared by a reliable tipster @MysteryLupin, the affordable Pixel Buds 2a are likely to arrive in four colours: Hazel (green), Strawberry (red), Iris (purple), and Fog Light (light blue), reported the 9To5Google. These second-generation A-Series earbuds could follow the 2021 debut of the original Pixel Buds A-Series, which offered consumers a budget-friendly alternative in Google's audio lineup. In addition, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are expected to introduce a new shade called Sterling, likely a sleek grey tone designed to complement the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL models. The leak also details storage and colour variants for the upcoming Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold devices. The report hints that Pixel 10 will likely be available in 128 GB and 256 GB variants, with colour options including Black, Obsidian, Blue, Frost, Purple, Indigo, Yellow, and Lemongrass. Moreover, the Pixel 10 Pro is expected to come in 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB models. Colour choices could span Black, Obsidian, Green, Jade, Grey, Moonstone, White and Porcelain. The larger Pixel 10 Pro XL is anticipated to be offered in 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB capacities, with the same colour range as the standard Pro model. Notably, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is also tipped to launch in 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB variants, available in Grey, Moonstone, Green, and Jade. Rounding off the leak is a glimpse at new charging peripherals. A product referred to as the 'Google Pixel Charger' could reportedly arrive in a Rock Candy (white) finish, potentially echoing Apple's MagSafe puck in form and function. Alongside it, the 'Google Pixel Wireless Charger' is expected to serve as the successor to the current Pixel Stand, hinting at faster wireless charging speeds and enhanced integration with Pixel phones. This may also align with the previously rumoured 'Pixelsnap Charger with Stand,' suggesting a refined approach to desktop wireless charging solutions.

Google Pixel Buds 2a leak tells us new color options — and a surprise option for the Pro 2

As rumors swirl around a potential mid-year launch for new Pixel 10 phones, we get a small glimpse into the future of the Pixel buds lineup. It's been a good 4 years or so since we saw a pair of a series buds come from Google, although it looks like the wait for budget buds is soon coming to an end. It's an early leak and one that's pretty barebones, but X user Arsène Lupin has given us an idea of what colors to expect the so-called "Pixel Buds 2a" to come in. Google Pixel Buds 2aHazel, Strawberry, Iris, Fog LightJuly 3, 2025 So there's not much to go on here — no technical details, no images and no launch date. Just a list of colors. Apparently, we'll be getting the Google Pixel Buds 2a in "Hazel, Strawberry, Iris, Fog Light." Those are completely different from the current lineup of colors of the Pixel Buds A-Series — Sea, Dark Olive, Clearly White and Charcoal — although Hazel is shared by the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2. It's a dark brown, if you're wondering. What will the other colors look like? Iris and Fog Light sound pretty nebulous, but Strawberry is almost certainly going to be some kind of pink or red. As for the price or release date? No clue. Lupin tends to leak stuff closer to release, mind you, so it's likely we're looking at something coming fairly soon. There was another leak as well — for another color. According to the same leaker in another X post, we're going to see the Pixel Buds Pro 2 come out in a color called "Sterling." That sounds like a silver to me, although I'm colorblind so I could be completely off base. Either way, we're looking at some potential new earbuds and a new color for an older pair. I'm excited to see where the Pixel Buds 2a land on our list of best earbuds, once we've got them in for testing.
