Summary
- Google Pixel 10 launch has reportedly been delayed, so don’t expect it to go official on August 13.
- Pre-orders for the Pixel 10 will start on launch day, with shipping starting one week after the launch date.
- You’ll be able to buy the Google Pixel 10 from stores towards the end of August.
The last couple of days have been pretty dramatic for Pixel fans. The initial excitement about a closed-door event showcasing what fans thought would be the Pixel 10 series this month quickly dissipated when reports from reliable sources claimed that the new Pixel series would launch on August 13. If that wasn’t bad enough, it appears that the Pixel 10 series launch has been delayed to a later date.
The August 13 release date reminds us of the Pixel 9 series, because the phone went official on the same date last year. However, now that the official launch of the Pixel 10 has been delayed, both devices will no longer be exactly one year apart. Fortunately, for Pixel fans, you won’t have to wait too many days past August 13.
Google Pixel 10 launch is now reportedly delayed to this date
Android Headlines was the first to report that the Pixel 10 series will go official on August 13. The same source has now backtracked from its earlier claim and has come up with a new launch date. The news outlet claims that its sources have confirmed that Google has delayed the Pixel 10 launch from August 13 to August 20. It’s only a matter of seven days.
You’ll have to wait a few more days if you’re planning to buy it. While Google is reportedly planning to start taking pre-orders on the launch day, the devices will begin shipping on August 28, 2025. Had it not faced the delay, you’d have been able to get your hands on it on August 20, which was earlier expected to be the day when the Pixel 10 was supposed to hit the stores.
Google Pixel 10 might still have one major letdown
On the exterior, the Pixel 10 won’t be very different from the Pixel 9, as per previous rumors. Under the hood, the Pixel 10 series is rumored to be powered by the TSMC-made Tensor G5 chipset, offering superior performance and more efficiency than its predecessor.
It’s natural to expect the latest-gen flagship phone to offer better performance than the last-gen model. While this should be true in the case of Pixel 10, there is one area where it might not live up to users’ expectations and perform as poorly as Pixel 9 does. According to the latest rumors, Google might still use the Exynos 5400 modem in the Pixel 10 series and won’t be switching to MediaTek modems. We’ll have to wait till its official launch to find out how many of these rumors turn out to be true.
