Delays possible for several Google Pixel devices, pushing their release date to October.
The eagerly anticipated Pixel 10 series, featuring the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL, are expected to be unveiled during Google's upcoming Made by Google event on August 20, 2025. However, there are delays for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a, according to reports from WinFuture.
These delays are attributed to supply chain issues and manufacturing complexities. For instance, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's new display and hinge design, the Pixel Watch 4's upgraded hardware and charging system, and possibly new audio technology in the Pixel Buds 2a are causing the bottlenecks.
While the Pixel 10 series phones are not expected to be released during the Made by Google event, they are anticipated to hit stores by August. On the other hand, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a are now targeted for release on October 9, 2025, approximately six weeks later than initially planned.
Here's a breakdown of the expected release dates and reasons for the delays:
| Device | Expected Release Date | Reason for Delay | |----------------------|-------------------------|--------------------------------------| | Pixel 10 / 10 Pro / 10 Pro XL | ~August 28, 2025 | On schedule | | Pixel 10 Pro Fold | October 9, 2025 | Supply chain issues with new components and hinge mechanism | | Pixel Watch 4 | October 9, 2025 | Supply chain issues and hardware revisions | | Pixel Buds 2a | October 9, 2025 | Supply chain issues, exact cause unclear |
