Google is gearing up for its Pixel 10 launch event this Wednesday, August 20, in New York City. The company will introduce the Pixel 10 lineup, the Pixel Watch 4, and the Pixel Buds 2a.
AI Photography in the Spotlight
One teaser shared on Google’s official Made by Google feed highlights new AI-driven photo editing tools, including the ability to insert people into images after capture and zoom far beyond normal ranges. While similar features exist on the Pixel 9 series, Google suggests new enhancements are coming to the Pixel 10 devices.
Celebrity Guests to Appear
The event promises star power, with Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Curry, Lando Norris, and the Jonas Brothers confirmed as special guests. Google is celebrating 10 generations of Pixel phones, making the event a major showcase.
Foldables and Fresh Designs
Another teaser previewed the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, alongside commentary hinting at a lack of industry innovation — possibly directed at Apple, which has yet to release a foldable. The teasers also spotlight a new Moonstone gray/silver finish, set to be a key color for the series.
Four New Pixel 10 Models
Google is expected to announce four phones:
-
Pixel 10
-
Pixel 10 Pro
-
Pixel 10 Pro XL
-
Pixel 10 Pro Fold
One clip also showed the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a, confirming they’ll be revealed alongside the smartphones.
Rumors and Expectations
Leaks suggest the Pixel 10 may go eSIM-only and include an upgraded telephoto camera. With launch day just around the corner, fans will soon learn exactly what Google has been preparing.
