Google Pixel 10 launch event: the 8 biggest announcements Canada reviews

20 August 20257 Mins Read

Google has just announced a bunch of shiny new devices to look at and AI features to yell about. As part of its Made by Google event, the company revealed an upgraded Pixel 10 lineup, a bubblier smartwatch with a brighter screen, and a ton of AI updates that extend across all of its new devices.

Here’s everything that was announced at the Made by Google 2025 event.

Just like the slew of leaks predicted, Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold comes with an IP68 rating, making it the first foldable that’s dust-tight and protected against continuous submersion in water. Google also shrunk the bezels on the outside of the device, allowing for a slightly larger 6.4-inch cover display. The inner screen remains the same at 8 inches.

The 10 Pro Fold comes equipped with the company’s upgraded Tensor G5 processor, its first made with TSMC instead of Samsung. It also offers support for Qi2 wireless charging speeds of up to 15W, which I’ll go over in more detail later on.

The 10 Pro Fold starts at $1,799 and is available in silver and green. The new device will be available in stores a bit later than usual, on October 9th.

The new Pixel 10 Pro and the larger XL variant haven’t changed much. They both look almost identical to their predecessors and come with the same 6.3-inch and 6.8-inch display sizes, along with an unchanged 16GB of RAM.

The major difference is that the 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL come with a Tensor G5 chip and support for Qi2 wireless charging — though only the 10 Pro XL supports Qi 2.2-certified speeds of up to 25W (the smaller 10 Pro is stuck at 15W). Google also removed the 128GB 10 Pro XL, leaving you with the options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage.

The 10 Pro starts at $999, while the 10 Pro XL has a slightly higher starting price of $1,119 because Google skipped the 128GB storage variant. Both phones are available for preorder today, with in-store availability starting on August 28th. They’re available in silver, green, white, and black.

Google adds a third camera to the base Pixel 10

For the first time, the base Pixel phone is getting a three-camera setup, just like its more premium sibling. The new cameras aren’t as good as the ones on the Pro-level models, as the Pixel 10 uses a smaller 48-megapixel main camera, a 13MP ultrawide sensor, and a 10.8MP telephoto lens. Those first two are actually downgrades compared to the Pixel 9.

Other key upgrades include support for Qi2 wireless charging speeds of up to 15W, the Tensor G5 chip, a slightly larger battery, and a higher peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits. The Pixel 10 starts at $799 and will be available for preorder before hitting store shelves on August 28th. It comes in indigo, light blue, bright green, and black.

With the entire Pixel 10 lineup featuring wireless charging, Google has designed a bunch of new “Pixelsnap” accessories that support Qi2 magnetic charging. That includes a set of Qi2-compatible cases priced at $49.99, which match the colors of Google’s newest phones, along with a $39.99 wireless charging puck and a $69.99 Pixelsnap charger that doubles as a stand.

Additionally, Google revealed a $29.99 ring-style accessory that snaps to the back of your device, allowing you to use it as a way to prop up your phone. Google is launching a new dual-port 67W fast charger, as well.

On top of its phone lineup, Google also took the wraps off its Pixel Watch 4. The new smartwatch comes with a bunch of notable upgrades, including a “domed” display that allows for 10 percent more visible screen space and 16 percent smaller bezels. The display’s brightness got a boost, too, with a 50 percent increase to 3,000 nits.

Google says the Watch 4 has a 25 percent longer battery life, allowing for 30 hours of use on the 41mm model and 40 hours on the 45mm version. The device starts at $349 for the 41mm Wi-Fi model and $449 for LTE, while the 45mm version starts at $399 for Wi-Fi-only and $499 with LTE. It will be available on October 9th.

Google’s budget-friendly Pixel Buds 2A cost $129.99, making them $30 more expensive than their predecessors. But the price increase comes with a number of upgrades, including Google’s Tensor A1 chip, a replaceable charging case battery, active noise cancellation, and support for Gemini AI.

The earbuds also offer transparency mode, which lets you hear the environment around you, along with AI-powered wind and background noise reductions during calls. The Buds 2A also offer seven hours of battery life with ANC turned on (or 10 hours when turned off).

The Buds 2A will be available in stores in black and purple on October 9th.

Even though Google set its focus on its latest and greatest devices, it didn’t forget about the Pixel Buds Pro 2 it released last year. These earbuds are getting a decent-sized update coming in September that will add Adaptive Audio, a new feature that automatically adjusts sounds to how loud your environment is, as well as Noise Protection, which will dampen sudden loud noises to help protect your hearing.

Other features on the way include the ability to nod or shake your head to answer or decline phone calls and respond to texts. They will also get a new feature that reduces background noise when using Gemini Live. Oh, and they come in a new silver color, as well.

Every device that Google showed today comes with some degree of AI, with its phones getting the vast majority of new features. That includes a new Magic Cue tool that can make proactive suggestions based on what you’re doing on your phone, such as surfacing an Airbnb listing if your friend asks for the address.

Google also put AI directly into the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL’s cameras, allowing it to use the technology to refine the detail of zoomed-in photos. Pixel phones even offer an AI Camera Coach to help you improve your shots, as well as new AI journaling and translator apps. Meanwhile, on the Pixel Watch 4, Google added a new AI-powered health coach.
