When is the Google Pixel 10 release date?

After weeks of teasers, Google's Pixel 10 series is finally here. The launch date has come and gone, so here's when prospective buyers can get their hands on the latest devices.

As usual, don't expect the Pixel 10 series to his store shelves on the same day as it launches. There will be some time between the announcement and the release date, giving prospective buyers time to preorder the phones and take advantage of any preorder deals that Google has in store.

Read below for all the details on the Pixel 10 release date.

Google Pixel 10: Release date

Google announced the Pixel 10 series on August 20, 2025, at its Made by Google event in New York City. The company announced four new smartphones: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

The launch date was actually one week later than the Pixel 9, which was announced on August 13. This goes against the recent trend of pushing up new smartphone announcements, but is still in line with the general launch window.

Before the phones hit store shelves, there is a brief preorder period that allows Google to gauge initial interest in its devices. This is when users can get massive discounts on the new devices, particularly when trading in old phones.

After the brief preorder period, the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL release date is August 28, when you'll be able to purchase them in stores. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold release date is much later, on October 9, 2025, although Google has not explained why there is a longer wait for this model.

FAQ

When is the Pixel 10 launch and release dates?

The Pixel 10 series launched on August 20, 2025. Most models, including the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL, release on August 28, 2025. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold release date is October 9, 2025.

How much does the Google Pixel 10 cost?

The official prices of the Google Pixel 10 series haven't changed when compared to the Pixel 9 series, although there is one less storage variant in the lineup. Here are the base prices of each Pixel 10 model:

• Pixel 10: $799
• Pixel 10 Pro: $999
• Pixel 10 Pro XL: $1,199
• Pixel 10 Pro Fold: $1,799

Notice that the Pixel 10 Pro XL starts $100 higher than the Pixel 9 Pro XL. That's because Google removed the 128GB variant, which cost $1,099 on last year's model. However, the price is identical to what Google charged for the 256GB model.

Will the Google Pixel 9 drop in price?

If we look at past Google Pixel launches as precedent, the Pixel 9 series should hang around at lower price points following the Pixel 10 launch. However, you don't need to wait for the Google Pixel 10 to hit store shelves to snag a deal on the Pixel 9. Prices are already much lower than they were at launch, for instance.

We already say plenty of Pixel 9 deals throughout the year, including on Prime Day, and we expect there to be more deals if and when Amazon holds another sales event or even during Black Friday weekend.

That said, you should continue to check back for the latest on Pixel 9 deals.
