Google failed to keep Pixel 10 phone prices and new headphone prices under wraps. The latter will become unpleasantly more expensive

The tech giant Google has once again failed to keep important information about its upcoming products a secret. A complete price list for the upcoming Pixel 10 series, including all memory variants and new Pixel Buds 2a headphones, has leaked online. The base Pixel 10 model will start at 899 euros in Europe, while the most expensive version of the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold with 1TB storage will cost buyers an astronomical 2,289 euros.

Base Pixel 10 Prices Unchanged

If you were hoping for a price drop for the new generation of Pixels, you’ll be disappointed. As reported by renowned leaker Roland Quandt, the base Pixel 10 will be available in two memory configurations – the version with 128GB storage will cost 899 euros, while the 256GB variant will be priced at 999 euros. These prices are identical to last year’s Pixel 9 model, suggesting that Google has maintained the price level of its base models despite inflation.

Different Configurations for Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL

We find several interesting changes for the premium Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL models. The Pixel 10 Pro remains available in four variants: 128GB for 1,099 euros, 256GB for 1,199 euros, 512GB for 1,329 euros, and now also with 1TB storage for 1,589 euros. However, for the larger Pro XL model, Google will surprisingly drop the cheapest 128GB version and offer it with a minimum of 256 GB of memory for 1,299 euros. Variants with 512GB for 1,429 euros and 1TB for 1,689 euros are also available.

Foldable Model Remains a Premium Affair

Despite speculation about a possible price reduction, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold remains an extremely expensive affair. The base version with 256GB storage starts at 1,899 euros, the mid-range variant with 512GB will cost 2,029 euros, and the newly added 1TB version reaches a staggering 2,289 euros. With this model, Google continues to target primarily tech enthusiasts and professionals who are willing to invest in innovative technologies.

Pixel Buds 2a Are More Expensive Than Their Predecessor

Along with the phones, information about the new wireless headphones Pixel Buds 2a, which will replace the current A-Series model, has also leaked. However, compared to their predecessor, which was available for 109 euros (currently selling for 2,690 Kč in our country), Google is charging 149 euros (3,700 Kč converted) for the new generation, representing a significant price increase of 40 euros.

What Do These Prices Mean for the Czech Market?

Looking at the current prices of the previous generation gives us a good estimate of what we can expect. The Pixel 9 in the Czech Republic started at 22,990 Kč, the Pixel 9 Pro at 27,990 Kč, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL at 30,490 Kč. Given that the European prices for the Pixel 10 remain the same as for the previous generation, it can be expected that prices in the Czech Republic will also be similar. The base Pixel 10 could thus start again around 23,000 Kč, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL could cost approximately 31,000 Kč in the base configuration. It is unclear whether the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold will officially arrive in our country this time, but currently, we have no information suggesting this.
