Made by Google 2025: Full Breakdown of Expected Pixel 9, Fold, Watch, and Accessories
The Pixel hardware presentation tomorrow is probably going to see the release of four phones, a wristwatch, and a set of earphones.
The flagship Pixel 10 phone line will be the first of a new lineup of Pixel devices that Google is preparing to unveil at its Made by Google event this week. New watches and earphones are also anticipated.
The Pixel line for this year has been heavily leaked in recent weeks, exposing nearly every detail we believe the company will divulge at tomorrow's launch event, including colors, specifications, and pricing.

A few details regarding the devices and the event scheduled for August 20th have even been formally confirmed by the corporation. In addition to showing off the majority of the new technology, the advertisement for our most recent look also promises to feature Jimmy Fallon, Steph Curry, Lando Norris, and the Jonas Brothers as guests.
Four phones with Pixel 10

The Pixel 10 range is undoubtedly on the horizon, as Google has already unveiled the phones. This year, the Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and Pixel 10 Pro are the four versions we anticipate.
The ad posted above shows the 10 and one of the Pro versions, as well as the Fold, briefly. Google has also released additional teasers that highlight the designs of the Pro and Pro Fold, both of which are seen in a grayish blue hue that we anticipate will be termed "moonstone." The entire lineup is visible in this leaked image that Android Authority was able to obtain, and the brilliant blue Pixel 10 in the event advertisement appears to be a color that Google is referring it as "indigo":
While I've been following every significant Pixel 10 announcement, leak, and rumor, I'll limit myself to the highlights here if you want the full in-depth analysis of the four new phones.
The base Pixel 10 is probably going to switch to a triple camera arrangement for the first time, including a new 5x telephoto lens. The main camera on the 10 might even be worse than the one on the Pixel 9 because we anticipate downgrades to the main and ultrawide cameras to make up for it. That won't be viewed by everyone as an overall improvement.
The primary change that should occur in all four phones is the addition of Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, which we hope will also involve the speedier Qi 25W standard that was announced last month. As an alternative to MagSafe, leakers say Google will also launch a range of magnetic accessories to go with the phone under the "Pixelsnap" brand.

Aside from its robust water resistance, the 10 Pro Fold is said to be the first foldable from any manufacturer to receive an IP68 designation, which denotes complete protection against dust and tiny particles. We'd like to know more about how it was accomplished, but if it's accurate, that seems like a bit of an engineering coup for Google.
Additionally, we are well-informed about the impending software updates for the Pixel. The vibrant new design language, Material 3 Expressive, has already been unveiled by Google. It will probably be included with the next Pixel 10 smartphones in the first quarterly release of Android 16. We'll be surprised if there aren't any more AI announcements coming soon, and it might possibly offer a new Android desktop mode, about which we hope to learn more tomorrow.
Lastly, it appears that the Pixel 10 phones will continue to be priced similarly to their Pixel 9 counterparts, at least in the United States. The starting price for the Pixel 10 is $799, while the price of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is $1,799, according to the report. The sole exception is the 10 Pro XL, which may increase in price by $100 to $1,199, but only if it does so by starting at 256GB of storage rather than the previous 128GB model.
The fourth Pixel Watch
This year's flagship Pixel Watch follows suit with new flagship Pixel phones. The Pixel Watch 4 is anticipated to come in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, and will mostly be available in colors that complement the new phone lines, just as the Pixel Watch 3.
The only significant update to the Watch 4 that we are aware of is a completely new charger, which is a surprising development. It appears that the watches of this year will charge on their sides, which could result in quicker charging as well as a new charging interface that is compatible with nightstands. It has also been reported that the modification makes the watch easier to fix; however, it is unclear to what extent.

Google has already issued its major Gemini update for Pixel watches, so we don't know what the Watch 4 will be getting in terms of software. The look should also be updated with Material 3 Expressive, and we would be remiss if we did not anticipate additional AI announcements.
The Pixel Watch 4 is expected to remain priced at $349 for a Wi-Fi variant and $399 for an LTE model, just like the phones.

2A Pixel Buds
Last but certainly not least, Google is expected to release the Pixel Buds 2A, a new line of inexpensive earphones.
These are long delayed, as the $99 Pixel Buds A-Series have been available for four full years. Beyond a few leaked pictures of a design that is modeled after the Pixel Buds Pro 2, we still don't know a lot about what to anticipate.

According to a spec sheet recently shared by trustworthy leaker Evan Blass, the Buds 2A will receive significant sound upgrades that include spatial audio and active noise cancellation. However, they will not have head tracking or the Silent Seal 2.0 technology found in the Pro 2 versions of those features. These are our best guesses. Additionally, it should have a little shorter battery life than the Pro 2, lasting seven hours on the buds and twenty hours with the case.
Though WinFuture cites a European price of €149 (about $175), up from €99 for the previous generation, we haven't heard any reliable sources regarding the Buds 2A's price in the US yet. That implies a price of about $149 in the US is probably in order.

We're not sure whether anything more will be unveiled than a new color, although it's worth noting that we've seen the Pixel Buds Pro 2 come in the new moonstone color that's coming with the Pro phones, indicating some sort of update to that product.
Sales that are staggered

Lastly, just because Google is unveiling all of this hardware at the same time does not indicate that it will be selling them all at once.
According to reports, this month's August 28th sale will only include the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL. The Buds 2A, Watch 4, and 10 Pro XL are reportedly going to be delayed and won't be available in stores until October 9th, which is about two months away.
