Anticipated Google Pixel 10 Series Prices to Mimic Past Levels for Competitive Edge Against Apple's iPhone 17 Series
Google's latest smartphone lineup, the Pixel 10 series, was officially unveiled on August 20, 2025, at the Made by Google event. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL are now available for preorder, with the standard models expected to be available shortly after. However, the highly anticipated Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google's first foldable smartphone, faces delays and is set to be released on October 9, 2025.
Pricing Strategy
Google has maintained a similar pricing strategy for the Pixel 10 series, keeping costs comparable to last year's Pixel 9 series. The Pixel 10 is priced at $799 for 128GB, the Pixel 10 Pro at $999, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL at $1,199 for 256GB. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, on the other hand, will retail at $1,799 for the same storage capacity.
Strategic Advantage
This pricing strategy could potentially offer Google an advantage over Apple, who is anticipated to increase prices for the iPhone 17 range. With the base storage for the iPhone 17 series expected to be upgraded from 128GB to 256GB, the price hike could make Google's stable pricing more appealing to consumers.
Delays and Focus
The delay in the release of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold might shift focus to the three more conventional models during the initial launch phase. Despite this, Google is reportedly strengthening its device appeal with advanced AI features, potentially powered by its Gemini AI platform.
As the Pixel 10 series hits the market, just weeks before Apple's annual fall event, consumers will have a new range of affordable, AI-powered smartphones to consider. Stay tuned for more updates as the tech world eagerly anticipates the release of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the iPhone 17 series.
