Let’s break down what the latest leak suggests for these highly anticipated Google gadgets across the pond.
Pixel 10 Series: Same Price Tag in Europe?
According to veteran leaker Roland Quandt, the European prices for the Pixel 10 lineup appear set to match last year’s models. This could be a welcome relief if you’re hoping to snag Google’s newest flagship without paying more.
Here’s a look at the leaked starting prices in Europe:
- Pixel 10: Starting at €899 (for 128GB)
- Pixel 10 Pro: Starting at €1099 (for 128GB)
- Pixel 10 Pro XL: Starting at €1299 (for 256GB base storage)
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Starting at €1899 (for 256GB)
These figures suggest that, at least in Europe, Google might be keeping the price steady for its core smartphone range. This is interesting, especially with expectations for new features and potentially improved performance from the Tensor G5 chip.

While the leaked prices focus on cost, the Pixel series is also known for its impressive camera capabilities. Expect to see advancements in areas like macro photography and computational imaging with the new generation.
Pixel Buds 2a: A Price Jump?
It’s not just phones on the horizon. Google is also expected to refresh its popular affordable earbuds. The rumored Pixel Buds 2a, which follows the Pixel Buds A-Series, might see a price increase in Europe.
The leak suggests the Pixel Buds 2a could cost €149. This would be a €50 increase compared to the launch price of the Pixel Buds A-Series (€99). While the reason for the bump isn’t clear, it could indicate new features or improved hardware in the upcoming buds. This potential jump for the A-Series successor is a notable difference from the seemingly stable phone prices.

What About US Prices? It’s Complicated.
Often, European and US prices for tech products are closely related, sometimes even matching numerically before taxes. However, predicting the Pixel 10’s US price tag this year is a bit trickier.
One major factor is the ongoing uncertainty around US government tariffs on goods manufactured in certain countries. Since Google Pixel phones are made in places like China, India, and Vietnam, these tariffs could potentially increase the cost of importing the phones into the US. It’s not yet known if Google will absorb these potential extra costs or pass them along to US customers. This means the stable European prices don’t automatically guarantee the same in the States.
When Will We Know for Sure?
Fortunately, we don’t have too long to wait for official pricing and availability details. Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series and possibly the Pixel Buds 2a at a launch event rumored to be held on August 20th.
This event will confirm all the specs, features, and crucially, the official price tags for all regions, including the US and Europe. Until then, these leaks provide our best look yet at what your next Google device might cost, particularly if you’re in Europe. The anticipation is building, especially with other details like a prototype motherboard leak offering early glimpses of the phone’s internals, including the new Tensor G5 chip.
Stay tuned for the official announcement to get the full picture. In the meantime, explore more about what’s expected from the upcoming Pixel 10 series, including rumored features and the potential launch timeline.
