What to Expect at the Pixel 10 Event: Breakthroughs in Phones, Foldables & AI

Google’s Pixel 10 event is just weeks away—set to take place on August 20 in New York. After last year’s unveiling of the Pixel 9 series and Pixel Watch 3 in California, anticipation is high for what new innovations will emerge. From flagship handsets to foldables, earbuds, and dramatic AI updates, here’s everything we expect at this year’s “Made by Google” keynote.

1. Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro & Pixel 10 Pro XL

Expect Google to debut its new Pixel 10 lineup—including the standard Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL. All models are likely to feature the new Tensor G5 chip, built in partnership with TSMC. The vanilla Pixel 10 may finally add a telephoto lens to what has traditionally been a dual-camera setup, promising upgrade-worthy photography for all levels of users.

2. Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Google is rumored to release the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, a major upgrade over last year’s foldable. While slightly thicker (~5.2mm vs 4.1mm) and heavier, it may include a massive 5,150mAh battery—surpassing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and offering best-in-class endurance. Improved hinge design and durability could help it compete in the increasingly tough foldable space.

3. Pixel Watch 4

The Pixel Watch 4 could introduce:

• A comfier active band (likely limited to the 41mm size)
• Wireless charging, ditching the old pin connector in favor of Qi2 magnetic charging
• Faster charging speeds (up to 25W), helping it compete more directly with Apple Watch

4. PixelSnap & Qi2 Charging Ecosystem

Google may unveil PixelSnap, its system for Qi2-compatible magnetic wireless charging. Whether it mirrors Apple’s MagSafe or introduces a new accessory ecosystem remains to be seen—but it marks Google’s entry into the fast-growing magnetic wireless charging standard.

5. Android 16 with Gemini AI Integration

All Pixel 10 devices are expected to ship with Android 16 and promise seven years of updates. A highlight will likely be deep integration of Gemini AI—demonstrated live—featuring AI-powered experiences like smart replies, live translations, audio enhancement, and broader conversational interfaces across apps and OS functions.

6. Accessories, Audio, and More

Expect new accessories to complement the Pixel family:

• A Pixel Stand update compatible with PixelSnap
• A refreshed lineup of Pixel Buds, possibly named Pixel Buds 2a
• Fabric- and drop-resistant cases color-matched to the devices

Other ecosystem products designed to showcase new Pixel colorways and technologies
