TL;DR
- Google invited Pixel Superfans to use for an opportunity to expertise “pre-release Pixel gadgets” at a June 27 occasion.
- The corporate is now telling them that as a result of “unexpected circumstances” it’s planning a September 4 occasion.
- It’s unclear if launch plans have been affected any, however the final leak we’ve seen factors to a mid-August launch.
Google’s Pixel 10 smartphones are on their method, and aside from feeling a wee bit nervous about Pixel batteries on the whole nowadays, we’re in any other case vastly excited for the upcoming launch. Past getting to satisfy Google’s new “Pixelsnap” equipment, we’re additionally anticipating an essential shift within the silicon powering the cellphone, as Google strikes to TSMC’s superior fabrication for the Tensor G5 chip. At this level, we’re actually simply ready to get our arms on the precise {hardware}.
Late final month we heard a couple of fortunate group that was getting early entry to “pre-release Pixel gadgets,” strongly hinting on the presence of the Pixel 10. Google despatched these invitations out to members of its Pixel Superfans group, and advised them that the chosen few would have the ability to attend a hands-on occasion in London scheduled for June 27.
On the time, we puzzled if which may point out Google was desirous about sliding its launch plans up slightly earlier within the 12 months — perhaps to some level in July, a couple of weeks forward of final 12 months’s August 13 Pixel 9 occasion.
It didn’t take lengthy for a greater principle to land, and inside just some days we have been listening to about leaks that after once more recognized August as Google’s launch goal — first returning to that August 13 date, earlier than later suggesting August 20, as an alternative.
Google has nonetheless not publicly confirmed its timetable for the Pixel 10 launch, however in the present day the corporate has been reaching again out to these Pixel Superfans with some unhealthy information. Right here’s what Google’s been emailing them:
Whereas we’re not capable of prolong invites to the Pixel Penthouse occasion as a result of unexpected circumstances, we’re excited to give you an unique different prize: an early invitation to our subsequent occasion, Pixel Superfans Insider Occasion, on September 4th.
It’s unclear what method of “unexpected circumstances” could be concerned right here — for all we all know it could possibly be one thing as innocuous as a scheduling situation with the venue. What we don’t wish to do is soar to any hypothesis about Pixel 10 delays absent some actual proof in that route. And for the second, that is all simply circumstantial.
Nonetheless, we are able to’t assist however marvel what may truly be happening behind the scenes — even when there’s a good probability we’ll by no means actually know. For the second, anyway, our sights are nonetheless squarely locked on August for our first probability to satisfy the Pixel 10 household.
