Welcome to episode 64 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner and Will make up for Damien’s absence by discussing the latest crop of Pixel leaks, including US pricing for the phones and watch that seemingly avoids tariff-mania. It’s not just prices, though — a new “Pixelsnap” leak all but confirms the native Qi2 support we’ve been begging for for years, while a new Pixel Buds 2a leak points towards a pretty familiar set of earbuds.
Google will reportedly not raise the price — which was a concern amidst tariffs — of the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold in the US.

Welcome to episode 63 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google.

Come for the conversation on which colors are doing it for us — and which aren’t — and stay for the breakdown on why the Pixel 10 series just might arrive with Qi2 built-in. Plus, what’s the deal with foldables, and is the Pixel Watch 4’s new charger ridiculous, or ridiculously awesome?
While many devices strive to be thinner and lighter than their predecessors, Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 series is thicker and heavier across the board, adding more credence to the idea that these devices will have Qi2 magnets inside in line with recent teases.

Made by Google 2025 is officially taking place on Wednesday, August 20. Google is again opting for a much earlier Pixel hardware event compared to previous years, with the annual Android release also accelerated.

“Pro” smartphones always seem to draw the short straw when it comes to colors, but Google is apparently making matters worse on the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro series by restricting the only actual color variant to only supporting 256GB of storage, and interestingly still also starting with 128GB of storage.
