A week ago, a tipster contacted us to say that the Google Pixel 10 Pro will go on pre-order immediately after it gets unveiled on August 20. We wondered whether this time the whole family will launch simultaneously or whether some will arrive late like what happened with the Pixel 9 series.
And now we have our answer – due to some delays, the launch will be in two stages. First, the “regular” phones will arrive on schedule – the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL pre-orders will start on August 20, shipping and open sales will start on August 28.

However, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will arrive later, along with the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a, according to sources speaking to WinFuture. These will be available from October 9, around two weeks after the non-folding Pixel 10 trio launches. Pre-orders will likely start on August 20, though.

It’s not clear what caused the delay – supply chain speed bumps may be the issue, but we just don’t know. The Fold shares some components with the rest of its Pixel 10 siblings, like the Tensor G5, for example. That said, there are some things that could have caused headaches – like the first-ever IP68 rating on a foldable. The 10 Pro Fold will also have a bigger battery and a new 6.4” cover display. We won’t even guess what might have gone wrong with the Pixel Watch 4 and new affordable TWS buds.
