Pixel 10 series may introduce a dustproof Fold and a 3-camera base model

The Pixel 10 launch is expected to introduce three main devices in the phone category:

• Pixel 10 (base model)

• Pixel 10 Pro

• Pixel 10 Pro XL

Leaked renders suggest the Pixel 10 base model will now feature a triple-camera setup—a first for a non-Pro Pixel, signaling a major upgrade in photo and video capabilities. This could finally close the gap between the base and premium Pixel phones.

But perhaps the biggest buzz surrounds the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The foldable device may get a larger cover screen and, for the first time, a completely dustproof design. If this is true, it would mark a key durability milestone, making the Fold more practical for everyday users and not just tech enthusiasts.

This kind of innovation mirrors the ambition seen in Grok AI’s advanced companion features and even Elon Musk’s Grok 4 AI that’s redefining interaction with smart systems. The goal? Smarter, more robust tech for real-world needs.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL, likely to be the flagship, is expected to feature the latest Google Tensor chip, enhanced AI features, and a brighter, more power-efficient OLED display. However, final specs are still under wraps.

Pixel 10 series set to launch on 20th August!

✅ TSMC-based Tensor G5
✅ Custom camera ISP
✅ Improved battery & charging
✅ MagSafe accessories
✅ More AI magic

Let’s look forward to it 👀 pic.twitter.com/4qBxEA8YBz

Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a are expected to debut

Google’s wearable line is also likely to get upgrades at the Pixel 10 launch. Leaks suggest that the Pixel Watch 4 will come with a larger battery and a slightly thicker profile, aimed at boosting performance and battery life without compromising too much on style.

Not much has been leaked about the Pixel Buds, but insiders believe Google will launch a new, more affordable pair—possibly called the Pixel Buds 2a. These may target casual listeners with a balance of solid sound quality and smart assistant integration at a lower price point.

The strategy mirrors how Microsoft is expanding its reach through Xbox PC game streaming, making high-quality tech more accessible across ecosystems.

Google’s move toward a broader hardware ecosystem also reflects trends in other sectors—such as how NVIDIA’s chip sales in China are influencing global hardware strategy or how companies like Belkin are shutting down legacy smart home systems to refocus on new tech.

With Apple expected to announce its iPhone 17 lineup later this year, Google’s August event could set the tone for the next wave of smartphone competition. The Pixel 10 launch is shaping up to be the company’s boldest step forward yet.
