The Google Pixel 10 series pricing leak reveals little in the way of surprises for the European market. According to renowned leaker Roland Quandt, known for his accuracy and reliability in sharing tech details, the Pixel 10 lineup’s prices have surfaced, showing no significant changes compared to previous models. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are all included in this leak, and the configurations and prices for these devices are now clearer. Additionally, Quandt shared the price of the Pixel Buds 2a, the new iteration of Google’s wireless earphones.
While Quandt hasn’t disclosed the source of the leak, he’s a trusted name in Europe, so it’s likely these prices are final.
Starting with the Pixel 10, the leaked prices for the European market are as follows:
- Pixel 10: 128GB: €899, 256GB: €999
- Pixel 10 Pro: 128GB: €1,099, 256GB: €1,199, 512GB: €1,329, 1TB: €1,589
- Pixel 10 Pro XL: 256GB: €1,299, 512GB: €1,429, 1TB: €1,689
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold: 256GB: €1,899, 512GB: €2,029, 1TB: €2,289
Unlike the smartphones, the Pixel Buds 2a are expected to cost more than their predecessors, with the new price pegged at €149 (around $174). This marks a significant jump from the Pixel Buds A’s starting price of €99.
Regarding potential price changes in the United States, it’s still unclear. While European prices seem stable, reports from a few months ago indicated that the Pixel 10 Pro XL might experience a price hike in the US, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be priced lower. The unpredictable nature of US import tariffs, particularly since Google’s phones aren’t manufactured domestically, might cause fluctuations in pricing. While it’s uncertain whether Google will raise or lower US prices, it seems they will try to keep the price of the Pixel 10 as low as possible. Given that the Pixel 9 now costs as much as an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy, another price hike would make the choice between Pixel phones and other leading brands even more complicated.
In summary, while the Pixel 10 may see stable pricing in Europe, the US market remains a bit of a mystery, with tariffs possibly influencing pricing decisions. Either way, Google has its work cut out for it to remain competitive against its rivals.
