After largely focusing on how the company wants Gemini to change everything from start to finish, Google is finally ready to roll out new hardware. The next one for Google Event is done on books, and Google has confirmed the appearance of at least one new phone.
Like in the past few years, Google isn’t the only source of information about its new phones and wearables. Almost all of the company’s new hardware leaked in one form or another before the event began. With that in mind, and sifting out leaks, that’s what Google might show off at its Pixel 10 launch in New York City on August 20.
Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro fold
Google’s invitation to the event said the company is sharing “the latest information on our pixel phones, watches, buds, etc.”, more or less confirming that the company will introduce a product similar to what it launched in 2024. This means the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pixel 10 Pro Fold oc vitality On On Menuy menus.
Google’s teasing of the Pixel 10 confirms what has signaled: the company has not abandoned the new design language it has established. There is still a pill-shaped camera bump and flat front display on the pixel 10, and the real changes will appear in details, for example, how the flat side of the pixel 10 is connected to the back of the phone.
These subtle changes obviously also include the thickness of the pixel 10s. While the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro fold will all use OLED screens of the same size as the Pixel 9, they will be mounted in a thicker, heavier body, . Google’s new pixels should also appear. The Pixel 10 will appear in “Frost” (Royal Blue), “Lemongrass” (yellow), “Indigo” (light purple) and “Obsidian” (dark gray), while the Pixel 10 Pro/Pro XL will be in “Obsidian”, porcelain “Polcelain”, “Polcelain” (Off-White), “Gray), “Moonstone” (“Moonstone” (“Moonstone” (Bluish gray) and green (“Grey) and green (“Yade)” (“Yade)” (“Yade)” (“Yade)”. There is less information about the Pixel 10 Pro folding, although recent leaks suggest it will appear in Moonstone and Jade as well.
The most obvious external change to be introduced on the pixel 10 is the addition of a new telephoto camera. The new telephoto camera is an 11-megapixel 5x telephoto, similar to the one that folds pixel 9 pro. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are expected to feature 50 megapixel wide, 48 megapixel Ultrawide, 48 megapixel telephoto and 48 megapixel self-photo. The Pixel 10 Pro fold may have a different lineup, with a similar main camera, but a 12-megapixel Ultrawide and telephoto camera, and an 11-megapixel selfie camera.
Inside the new phone, Google has laid the foundation for future performance growth with its new Tensor G5 chip. As the company switches to a 3NM design produced by TSMC, it is likely to improve functional efficiency. The chip may not be that different when it comes to raw power, but the tensor G5 may have additional functionality in using native AI capabilities.
Pixel watch 4
The third time is charm, so Google’s main task with the Pixel Watch 4 is not to waste the solid foundation it already has. The company has limited leaks so far, but the renderings of the Pixel Watch 4 are shared It is indeed recommended that Google plan to make some changes.
That said, like the company’s phone, the new Pixel watch seems to be a little thicker and comes with a smaller bezel. The Pixel Watch 4 should be purchased as the same 41mm and 45mm sizes as before, but can accommodate a larger battery or a new wireless charging system. It is worth noting that the renderer lacks the charging pins used on the Pixel Watch 3.
Besides that, Google has pointed out how Wear OS evolves. The new Wear OS 6 update is making its debut and will likely be found on the Pixel Watch 4 at the time of release. It includes built-in access to Gemini, among other tweaks. Given that Google can also manage Fitbit Premium subscriptions, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Pixel Watch 4 also gets some unique fitness tracking features.
Pixel bud 2a
Google launched the Pixel Buds Pro 2 last year, which usually doesn’t update its annual pace of premium earbuds. So, on the contrary Google may pair the Pixel 10 with the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in new colors and save its new hardware announcements as a sequel to the Pixel Buds A series called the Pixel Buds 2A.
Unlike the company’s premium wireless earbuds, the A-series Pixel Buds have historically stood out, with things like active noise reduction to reach lower prices. For reports on where Google will use the Pixel Buds 2A, you can expect the new earbuds to bring in some new colors introduced on the Pixel 10.
PixelsNap
The QI2 wireless charging standard is available to all phone manufacturers, but is not widely adopted among Android phone manufacturers. The QI2 uses magnets to provide increased charging speeds, and just like Apple’s MagSafe, the Pixel 10 can adopt new features called Google with Google’s QI2.
It is recommended that the pixel 10 includes the necessary magnets to make Qi2 occur and will be introduced with the lineup of PixelsNap accessories. Added the reported weight, its faster QI2 25W charging speed is about to reach “large Android phones”. This would make sense if Google’s Pixel 10s were included.
Gemini and other exclusive software features
Gemini is Google’s current favorite, and the company is pushing AI assistants anywhere. The last few Pixel Drops (Google’s regular pixel-centric software updates) mainly include Gemini features. For Google, it makes sense to include more software exclusives on the Pixel 10.
Google will host the Pixel 10 launch event on August 20 at 10 a.m. ET/ET. The company invites the press to attend in person and you can read coverage of everything Google announced on Engadget.
