As excitement grows around Google's upcoming Pixel 10 lineup, a new leak has emerged, hinting at possible price changes expected to alter the premium smartphone market.
While previous leaks suggested the upcoming Pixel 10 series will retain a familiar design across all four models, this time it’s the pricing that has begun grabbing headlines, particularly for the higher-end models.
According to Android Headlines, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is expected to launch with a $100 price increase, making it touch the $1,200 mark. This big of a price surge is expected to position Google’s flagship closer to rivals like Apple and Samsung in the premium smartphone segment.
On the other hand, the Pixel 10 Pro is rumoured to maintain its $1,000 price tag, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold might undergo a price cut to $1,600.
Although a report initially suggested a $100 price hike for the base Pixel 10, that was later retracted.
With the Pixel 10 set to debut this summer, these leaks raise questions for those planning to invest in the Pixel 9 series.
