Google is all set to announce the upcoming Pixel 10 series at its Made by Google event on August 20. Like last year, Google’s 2025 flagship phone lineup is expected to include the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. But only three of them will go on sale soon after the launch. You might have to wait up to seven weeks to get your hands on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
According to a new report from WinFuture, Google is facing supply chain issues for a few upcoming products. These issues will affect the shipping dates of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a.
The report suggests that Google could start shipping the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL starting August 28 — eight days after their launch. On the other hand, you’ll have to wait until October 9 for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a to hit the shelves. That’s a gap of seven weeks, which could also include Apple’s iPhone 17 launch in between.
WinFuture states, “According to our sources, these three products or product lines will not be available in stores shortly after the launch event on August 20.” It goes on to say that new components have caused availability issues. For instance, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is said to feature a new display and a new hinge to offer a more robust IP68 dust and water resistance.
As for the Pixel Watch 4, internal hardware changes and the modified charging system could be responsible for the delayed availability, while possible causes for the Pixel Buds 2a release delay remain unclear.
What To Expect From The Made By Google Event?
Google is expected to announce six products at its Made by Google event on August 20:
- Pixel 10
- Pixel 10 Pro
- Pixel 10 Pro XL
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold
- Pixel Watch 4 (in two sizes)
- Pixel Buds 2a
I expect these products to be accompanied by new AI features and software smarts.
What Is The Google Pixel 10 Series Release Date?
As mentioned above, the Pixel 10 series will be announced at the Made by Google event on August 20. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL are expected to hit the shelves on August 28, whereas the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will go on sale on October 9.
