Google Pixel 10 Launch Event: Streaming Details and Anticipated Features
Google is set to unveil its latest Pixel 10 series on August 20, 2025, at a "Made by Google" event in New York City[1][3][4]. This highly anticipated event will mark the launch of several new devices, including the Pixel 10 series, a new smartwatch, and possibly new earbuds[3][5].
The lineup is anticipated to include several variants: the Pixel 10 (vanilla/standard model), Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and a possible foldable addition, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold[2][3][4].
At the heart of the Pixel 10 series is the Tensor G5 chip, built by TSMC on a 3nm process, promising significant improvements in speed, power efficiency, and AI capabilities compared to previous generations[3][4]. Expect new and improved AI features, leveraging the upgraded chipset[2][3].
The display of the Pixel 10 series is set to offer smoother visual transitions and better battery management with high-refresh-rate dimming technology[3]. Additionally, brighter screens and enhanced security and convenience features through faster biometrics are expected[3].
In terms of camera systems, the base model Pixel 10 is rumoured to feature a telephoto lens for the first time, while the Pro models are expected to have a similar setup to their predecessors, but with tweaks to Google’s image processing algorithms[2]. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to include a 50MP primary, a 48MP ultrawide lens with macro capabilities, and a 48MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom[2].
The Pixel 10 series is expected to benefit from extended battery life, thanks to the more energy-efficient Tensor G5 chip[2]. Additionally, the entire Pixel 10 series is rumoured to support Qi2 standard for faster, more efficient wireless charging—including the larger Pro Fold model[2].
Other hardware rumours suggest the possibility of new PixelSnap accessories being introduced around the same time[2]. The Pixel Watch 4 may not feature charging pins, hinting at the possibility of wireless charging support[4]. The Pixel Watch 4 is also rumoured to have smaller bezels, potentially offering a wider display area[4].
The Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are rumoured to come in colours such as Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone, and Jade[3]. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to come in Moonstone and Jade colours[3].
In the competitive smartphone market, the Pixel 10 series follows strong competition from Samsung’s Galaxy S25 lineup and the new OnePlus 13, raising expectations for Google’s 2025 flagship[4].
