Google Pixel 10 Series Launch Confirmed for August 21
Google has officially confirmed that the highly anticipated Pixel 10 series will be launched globally on August 20, 2025, with the India launch following on August 21, 2025. The upcoming lineup includes four models: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the innovative Pixel 10 Pro Fold. This new series is expected to bring several hardware innovations, refined designs, and notable upgrades over the previous Pixel 9 generation.
Details on the Pixel 10 Series Models and Design
The Pixel 10 series will feature a sleek design similar to the Pixel 9 but with subtle enhancements like thinner bezels and a more symmetrical look. The models are expected to come in different color options: three of the models in a grey shade named Moonstone, while the base Pixel 10 appears in a dark blue color, possibly called Indigo. The foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold is also rumored to have an Indigo Blue hue.
In terms of displays, the Pixel 10 Pro is expected to have a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, QHD+ resolution, and peak brightness up to 3000 nits. Other models will likely feature Full HD+ OLED screens with similar high refresh rates suitable for smooth performance.
Key Specifications and Features
The Pixel 10 series is anticipated to be powered by the Tensor G5 chipset, fabricated using TSMC’s more efficient 3nm process, replacing Samsung’s foundry used in earlier generations. This should provide improved performance and power efficiency. Alongside, the devices will likely come with 12GB RAM and storage options up to 512GB.
Camera upgrades are a highlight of the Pixel 10 Pro, which may include a triple rear camera setup featuring a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization, a 64MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 48MP telephoto lens. Google is expected to enhance AI-assisted photography capabilities with improved Night Sight and Super Res Zoom features.
Battery life should see improvements, with the Pixel 10 Pro rumored to have a substantial 5200 mAh battery capacity, compared to the lower capacity in the Pixel 9 Pro XL2. Fast wired charging support at 29W and wireless charging at 15W are also expected.
Launch Event and Availability
The Event made by Google in 2025 will be broadcast live worldwide on August 20 and can be seen on the official page of the Google YouTube channel. Indian spectators can tune in on August 21 from 10:30 p.m. IST. Advance orders are expected to begin immediately after the revelation, with shipments that will probably begin at the end of August or early September.
Google is also offering exclusive promotions and early purchase incentives. Registered Google Store subscribers before August 19 will receive exclusive offers via email upon pre-order availability. Benefits include exchange bonuses, Google Store credits, and no-cost EMI payment options.
Pricing and Market Positioning
Expected prices suggest the Pixel 10 starting around $799, with the Pixel 10 Pro at $999. The Pixel 10 Pro XL may cost approximately $1,199, and the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold around $1,600. This pricing strategy aims to make the foldable device more affordable than previous generations, enhancing its appeal.
The series will launch with Android 16 out of the box, featuring deeper AI integration and extended software support for seven years, underscoring Google’s commitment to long-term updates.
This launch marks a strategic move by Google to announce the Pixel 10 earlier than in previous years, positioning the devices ahead of fall releases from competitors like Apple and Samsung, targeting back-to-school and holiday shopping periods.
