Google Teases Pixel 10 With Apple Dig, Cuts Pixel 9a Price for Two Weeks

Launching a 30-second teaser that mocks Apple’s Siri delay, Google spotlights its AI lead ahead of its August 20 Pixel 10 unveiling.

Overview

  • Google’s new “Google Pixel 10 | Soon” ad challenges Apple’s year-long Siri delay by quipping that users could “change your definition of ‘soon’” or simply switch phones.
  • Industry leaks forecast a four-model Pixel 10 series—Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold—set to be officially revealed in New York City on August 20.
  • The Pixel 10 lineup is expected to run on Google’s Tensor G5 chip built on TSMC’s 3nm process and introduce a telephoto lens on the base model alongside Qi2 magnetic wireless charging support.
  • Rumored pricing holds steady at $799 for the entry-level Pixel 10 in the U.S. and £799 in the U.K., matching last year’s Pixel 9 launch tags with added pre-order bundles.
  • Ahead of the launch, Google has discounted the Pixel 9a with 128GB storage to $399 for a two-week promotion through August 17 to attract early buyers.
