new telephones, watches, and extra

It is humorous to suppose that at one time, Google was invested in product secrecy as a lot as Apple is with each iPhone announcement. That was cheap — till leaks of upcoming Pixel phones grew to become so widespread that there was virtually no level in holding an occasion. In latest occasions Google appears to have admitted defeat, issuing teaser bulletins forward of main product showcases. The Pixel 10 is a recognized amount — it is simply the main points that must be confirmed.

The curtain on that data is slated to rise throughout a “Made by Google” occasion on Wednesday, August 20 at 1pm ET/10am PT. Within the meantime, I’ve gathered collectively all essentially the most credible rumors to this point, together with information in regards to the Pixel 10 Professional Fold. There’s additionally phrase that we’ll be seeing different merchandise introduced. For a teaser of my very own, for instance that you simply could be fairly blissful for those who’re into fitness.

The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Professional, and Pixel 10 Professional XL

The celebrities of the present

In some methods, the majority of the Pixel lineup is not anticipated to vary a lot. The Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Professional ought to every characteristic a 6.3-inch show, with the Pixel 10 Professional XL bumping you as much as 6.8-inches. By means of each many leaks and official product pictures, we all know that aesthetics will keep much like the Pixel 9 collection.

Issues get a little bit extra fascinating underneath the floor. All the telephones are anticipated to improve to Google’s new Tensor G5 processor, which ought to be developed in-house, and manufactured utilizing a 3nm TSMC course of. Historically, Google has partnered with Samsung, so the hope is that the G5 could also be higher optimized for Pixel 10’s wants — or a minimum of extra power-efficient, because the G4 has a 4nm structure. Certainly one of Apple’s best benefits with the iPhone is that its processors are custom-tailored, even eliminating the necessity for as a lot RAM as many Android telephones have.

The bottom Pixel 10 ought to embrace a ten.8-megapixel telephoto camera along with 48-megapixel broad and 13-megapixel ultra-wide items. Up to now, Google has pressured consumers to improve to a Professional for a telephoto, even supposing it is often preferable to get nearer to a topic than push it away. Certainly, the transfer may put strain on Apple, which is predicted to stay to a large/ultra-wide combo for the usual iPhone 17. There’ll nonetheless be causes to improve to a Pixel 10 Professional or Professional XL, in fact — these gadgets ought to get 48-megapixel telephotos, sitting subsequent to 50-megapixel broad and 48-megapixel ultra-wide cameras.

For some individuals, the largest change often is the addition of Qi2 charging, which is predicated on Apple’s MagSafe and considerably quicker than common Qi.

Like its siblings, the ten Professional Fold ought to be evolutionary somewhat than revolutionary, gaining upgrades like a Tensor G5 chip, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide digicam, and a telephoto with 5x optical zoom. Arguably these options ought to’ve been within the 9 Professional Fold, on condition that system’s $1,800 sticker value.

The marquee change may very well be sturdiness. Google is rumored to be enhancing the power of the hinge, and in line with WinFuture, introducing IP68 water and dirt resistance. Thus far, no foldable has had higher mud resistance than the IP48 on Samsung’s Z Fold and Z Flip — and the 9 Professional Fold has no mud ranking in any respect. With the ten Professional Fold, it could lastly be secure to take a foldable to the seashore or a dusty development website, though there is no phrase on how robust the system’s inside and exterior screens shall be.

The Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a

Giving the individuals what they need

Not a lot is thought in regards to the Pixel Watch 4, nevertheless it may turn into barely thicker than its predecessor within the title of prolonged battery life. Android Headlines provides that it would get steady blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring, as a substitute of simply recording that information in a single day. This can be a win for runners, weightlifters, and different athletic sorts, as noon SpO2 ranges are an indication of cardiovascular health — the nearer they’re to 100%, the higher. For a lifter like myself, extra oxygen saturation can imply squeezing out another rep on a troublesome set.

One other rumored enhancement is a few kind of emergency satellite tv for pc communication, as on the forthcoming Apple Watch Extremely 3. The Pixel Watch 4 ought to be significantly cheaper, nonetheless, beginning at $350 versus the Extremely 3’s $800, assuming tariffs do not push costs upward from the final technology.

The Pixel Buds 2a, in the meantime, are Google’s new funds earbuds. In accordance with well-known leaker Evan Blass, Google is planning so as to add energetic noise cancellation to the A collection for the primary time, if inferior to what you will discover on the Pixel Buds Professional 2. The 2a will lack another Professional options too, particularly Dialog Detection, head-tracked spatial audio, and wi-fi charging for the case. You must anticipate cheap battery life, fortunately — that is rumored to be 7 hours of in-ear time, and 20 hours in complete through the case.

Different potential surprises

The AI drumbeat bangs on

It would not be a Google occasion if there wasn’t some kind of AI tie-in, and one other Android Headlines declare is that Gemini will achieve a “Digicam Coach” for Pixel gadgets, providing recommendations on issues like angles and lighting to provide higher pictures. There could even be conversational picture enhancing, letting you do issues like tweak publicity or take away objects with easy voice instructions. That might be very spectacular if it really works reliably — though I might stick with finger gestures or Photoshop when precision issues.

Google can be lengthy overdue to replace a lot of the Google Nest smart home lineup, significantly its audio system and shows. The final main refresh in that space was the second-generation Nest Hub, which shipped in 2021. Earlier in 2025, the corporate promised to proceed placing out new merchandise, and the Made by Google occasion can be a logical time to disclose something if it will ship earlier than the top of 2025.
