The Hype Was Real — And Google Delivered
Nope, this isn’t about Apple’s September event (save your wallet for that one). We’re talking about Made by Google 2025, which went down yesterday — and honestly, it was packed with game-changing updates. Google rolled out the Pixel 10 series, the Pixel Watch 4, and the Pixel Buds 2a, all while flexing its AI muscles with new features like Magic Cue and Pixelsnap.

Pixel 10 Series: The Star of the Show
The headline act was, without a doubt, the Pixel 10 lineup. It includes four models:
- Pixel 10 – 6.3” Actua display, 12GB RAM, 50MP wide + 48MP ultrawide lenses, and a telephoto camera that nails close-ups. Starts at $799 and comes in Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, and Lemongrass.
- Pixel 10 Pro – Same 6.3” size but brighter, hitting 3300 nits peak brightness. Upgraded to 16GB RAM and packs 100x Pro Res Zoom for photography lovers. Starts at $999.
- Pixel 10 Pro XL – Basically the Pro but bigger, with a 6.8” display. Perfect if you like your screens as massive as your expectations. Starts at $1,199.
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold – The first foldable Pixel, rocking a 6.4” outer display and 8” inner display with a gearless, high-strength hinge. Oh, and it’s IP68 dustproof and water-resistant — a solid flex over competitors. Starts at $1,799.
All four models run on the new Tensor G5 chipset, which Google claims is 60% faster than last year’s processor. Plus, you get up to 30 hours of battery life and a whopping seven years of software updates.
