After last year’s showcase in 2024, Google hosted the product launch event in its home town Mountain View, California, the tech giant is switching things up for its next big unveiling. This time, the company will conduct the programme in New York City on August 20 at 1.00 pm PT (10:30 pm IST). With the stage set for an exciting event, all eyes are on what Google has in store — especially when it comes to the much-anticipated Pixel 10 series.
Pixel 10 Series: Four Powerful Models Incoming
If leaks and rumours are anything to go by, Google is expected to unveil at least four variants of the Pixel 10 series phones. These include:
-
The standard Pixel 10
-
A more advanced Pixel 10 Pro
-
A large-screen Pixel 10 Pro XL
-
The ultra-premium foldable, Pixel 10 Pro Fold
Each of these models is said to run on the new Tensor G5 chipset, Google’s proprietary processor that promises a notable performance leap. The chip is reportedly designed to handle heavy tasks with ease, especially features involving generative Artificial Intelligence, like Gemini Live, and photo-editing tools such as Magic Editor.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Premium Build and IP68 Durability
Among all the new entries, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is shaping up to be the star of the show. Compared to its predecessor, this foldable phone will have a more rugged and durable build, and for the first time in the foldable Pixel line-up, it’s expected to carry an IP68 rating. This means it can withstand brief submersion in water — up to 1.5 metres (around five feet) for nearly 30 minutes — making it more reliable in day-to-day scenarios.
Brighter Displays and Bigger Battery
The entire Pixel 10 series is expected to bring visual upgrades as well. Users can look forward to improved and brighter display panels across the lineup, enhancing both indoor and outdoor usability. Moreover, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is rumoured to include a bigger battery than the previous model, addressing one of the most common concerns for foldable devices — longevity on a single charge.
Pixel Watch 4 May Also Make an Appearance
It’s not just smartphones that will take the spotlight. Alongside the Pixel 10 lineup, Google is also expected to unveil Pixel Watch 4. This new wearable is likely to pack improved health tracking capabilities and offer better battery life, aiming to compete more closely with rivals in the smartwatch space.
More Info Coming Soon
As of now, Google has not released any teasers about the Pixel 10 series yet, but the company is expected to share more updates as we get closer to the launch day. The August 20 event promises to be a major moment in Google’s hardware roadmap, and if all the speculations turn out to be true, fans can expect big strides in AI, design, and durability across the board.
