A Brand New Era for Google Pixel!

Google has officially kicked off a fresh chapter in its Pixel phone saga, marking the launch of the highly anticipated Pixel 10 series! These exciting new devices come equipped with TSMC-made chipsets and are now available for pre-order. With shipping set to commence next week, excitement is in the air. However, if you're eyeing the foldable variant, you'll need to wait until early October.

Incredible Pre-Order Offers

What sweetens the deal? Amazon is now offering enticing gift cards with every pre-order! The Pixel 10, which introduces a telephoto lens for the first time in a standard model, brings along a $100 Amazon Gift Card. While you might be tempted to snag last year's Pixel 9, it’s worth your while to hold on for a bit—the Pixel 9 will likely see a price drop post-launch.

The Pro: More Bang for Your Buck!

The Google Pixel 10 Pro ups the ante with a heftier $200 Gift Card. Once you factor in the gift card, the price difference between the 10 and Pro models shrinks to a mere $100! The Pro boasts a superior 1/1.31” main sensor and a high-resolution ultra-wide at 48MP, outshining the vanilla model significantly.

Bigger, Better, and Bolder: Meet the Pixel 10 Pro XL!

For those who crave an even larger experience, the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is here! With a dazzling 6.8” LTPO display and a robust 5,200mAh battery, this powerhouse supports faster 45W wired charging. Plus, it's bundled with a $200 gift card! However, take note: there’s no 128GB option this time, so the baseline is now 256GB.

The Pixel 10 Series Launch Timeline

All three models—the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL—are officially available for pre-order. Expect them to start shipping as soon as next week, potentially arriving even sooner!

How Does It Stack Up Against Samsung?

In a major competitive landscape, Samsung's flagship Galaxy S25 series has been around for a while with appealing prices. The smaller Galaxy S25 offers a 6.2” LTPO display and comes equipped with the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Although it's yet to be seen how Google's Tensor G5 Engine handles real-world performance, the Elite chip has an edge.

The Rumored Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Tech enthusiasts should also keep an eye out for Google's upcoming foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. It's the first foldable in the U.S. with an IP68 rating, enhancing dust resistance. While it promises great features, it won’t arrive until October 9—possibly too early to pre-order.

Wearable Wonders: Google Pixel Watch 4 and Buds 2a!

In addition to phones, Google has unveiled the revolutionary Pixel Watch 4. It's set to elevate health tracking with improved battery life and even features Satellite SOS capabilities—an essential for adventure seekers! The catch? Only the LTE version offers this feature.

Also launched are the Pixel Buds 2a. While these buds provide Active Noise Cancellation and spatial audio support, wireless charging is notably absent. Pre-orders for both the Watch 4 and Buds 2a commence soon, with availability beginning in early October.
