Google Pixel 10 Series Launch Date Might Actually Be August 20 [Update]

According to a known leaker, Google will launch the Pixel 10 series on August 13, right in line with last year’s updated schedule – or at least it was…

The schedule for launching Pixel phones has shifted over the years. The first few events took place in October, but Google would push things forward or backward by a few weeks. Last year, the Pixel 9 series made its debut early, with the company moving the event up to mid-August.

It appears the same schedule will be repeating this year, right down to the date.

@MysteryLupin, a fairly reliable leaker on Twitter/X, says that the Pixel 10 series will launch on August 13 in their usual, relatively cryptic way. This lines up exactly with last year’s event being on the same date.

Update: Shortly after publishing, Android Headlines chimed in with their own information on this topic, confirming the August 13 date as Google’s event date as well as the opening of pre-orders. Google will apparently ship devices on August 20, the publication reports. That’s a bit earlier than last year, as Google shipped devices on August 22 last time around.

Update 6/4: In a correction to their previous report, Android Headlines says that Pixel 10 will be launching on August 20 and shipping on August 28. The publication says that its source on the matter reached out to say that the date has “moved back a week.”

That’s despite Google having revealed that it will show its new devices, presumably including the entire Pixel 10 series, to a small group of invited “Superfans” at the end of June. That invitation sparked speculation of a much earlier Pixel event, but that certainly doesn’t seem to be the case.

Google is expected to make only minor updates with the Pixel 10 series, with the TSMC-made Tensor G5 being the biggest overall upgrade. Leaks thus far have shown that Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold all have virtually identical designs to the current Pixel 9 series, but there have been hints of display improvements, new colors, major camera changes, and more.
