Google Pixel 10 expected to launch a month before iPhone 17: All the details

Pixel 10

If you're a Pixel fan, mark your calendar—Google is expected to launch its Pixel 10 series on August 13 this year, beating the iPhone 17 to the stage by nearly a month. The new phones will reportedly go on sale just a week later, starting August 20.

The launch is said to be part of the annual Made by Google event, where the company usually unveils its latest hardware. According to leaker @MysteryLupin—who first spilled the beans—this year’s lineup will be bigger than usual. We're expecting not just a Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro, but also a larger Pixel 10 Pro XL and a foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

One of the more exciting upgrades is that the regular Pixel 10 could finally get a telephoto camera, joining the Pro lineup in having three lenses. But don’t expect all the bells and whistles—there may be some trade-offs in image quality to keep the base model affordable.

The Pro models, including the Fold, won’t look much different from last year’s phones. Instead, Google seems to be betting on its new Tensor G5 chip, which is expected to bring smarter AI features that make everyday tasks faster and more useful.

Also likely to debut at the event is the Pixel Watch 4. Leaked images hint at a slightly bulkier design—possibly to fit a bigger battery. There’s also word of improved charging, extra buttons, and the introduction of Gemini AI, Google’s next-gen assistant, making its way onto smartwatches for the first time.

With a faster launch timeline and a more powerful AI-focused lineup, Google seems ready to get ahead of Apple this year—and the race to your pocket just got a lot more interesting.
