The launch timeline for Google’s Pixel phones has changed over the years. While the first few models were announced in October, Google has since played around with earlier or later dates. Last year, the Pixel 9 series arrived in mid-August, and it looks like Google is sticking to that schedule for the Pixel 10 series.

According to X (formerly Twitter) leaker @MysteryLupin, who has a solid track record, the Pixel 10 series will be unveiled on August 13, exactly the same date as last year’s launch.

However, Android Headlines reports a different date. Their sources claim the event has been pushed back to August 20, with shipments starting August 28. The source told them the date had “moved back a week.”

This comes despite Google inviting a group of “Superfans” to preview its upcoming products at the end of June, sparking rumours of an early launch. But it now seems that won’t be the case.

As for what to expect, the Pixel 10 lineup is likely to bring only modest updates. The biggest change could be the new Tensor G5 chip, which will reportedly be built by TSMC. Leaks suggest the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro Fold will look very similar to the Pixel 9 series. However, some camera and display improvements are rumoured to be on the way.

All Pixel 10 Series Colours Leaked

In a separate leak, Android Headlines has also revealed the colour options for the full Pixel 10 lineup.

The standard Pixel 10 will come in four shades, which are Ultra Blue, Limoncello, Iris and Midnight. The Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will be available in Sterling Grey, Light Porcelain, Midnight and Smoky Green.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected in just two colours including Sterling Grey and Smoky Green.

For fans of Pixel colour names, Midnight is replacing Obsidian as the darkest option, but it’s said to be lighter, more of a dark grey than true black. Sterling Grey is even lighter.

Ultra Blue is described as “royal blue,” Iris is the same shade used on the Pixel 9a, and Limoncello is “a mid-tone colour.” Light Porcelain is a softer off-white, and Smoky Green is a deep green tone.
