What’s New in the Pixel 10 Series?
- All Pixel 10 models will be powered by the new Tensor G5 chipset, Google’s first mobile processor manufactured by TSMC instead of Samsung.

Launch Timeline
Google is expected to officially unveil the Pixel 10 family at a “Made by Google” event on August 20. The event will also likely see the debut of the Pixel Buds 2a.
European Buyers: No Surprises, Just Consistency
For European consumers, the Pixel 10 series offers price stability amid a market of rising smartphone costs. However, those interested in Google’s wireless earbuds should be prepared for the higher price tag on the Pixel Buds 2a.
US pricing details remain unconfirmed, as exchange rates and tariffs could affect final costs in that market.
