Off the back of this year’s Made by Google event, Google has announced the Pixel 10 Series which is coming to Ireland. This promises to be Google’s most AI-driven phone to date, massively powered by Google Gemini.
It also marks a significant launch for the Irish market with Google’s full suite of Pixel devices getting a refresh, and the Pixel 10 being the first non-iPhone to feature MagSafe – but they call it Pixel Snap. I don’t go into detail on this here, so you can read that other article on that.
Pixel 10
Google announced the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel Pro XL. Now, whether every single device launches in Ireland remains to be seen. It’s possible not all will be available on networks and might only be available directly from Google. But you can check out our bill pay versus SIM only calculator to see if that’s even better for you financially anyway.
The Google Pixel 10 features a 6.3-inch Actua display with 3000 nits brightness, hopefully meaning perfect visibility even under rare Irish sunshine. The addition of a new 5x telephoto lens offers exceptional 10x optical-quality zoom, further enhanced by Super Res Zoom reaching up to 20x magnification.
the Pixel 10 has promises upgraded audio (better bass, stereo balance), and Pro models should have louder speakers than before.
Despite being the entry model, the Pixel 10, on paper at least, is no “lite” version. Powered by the new Tensor G5 chip and 12GB of RAM, it’s built to run Google’s Gemini AI locally, unlocking smart features without any cloud lag. You should also get all-day battery life (Google claims 30 hours), rapid charging (55% in 30 minutes with a 30W plug), and a choice of four fresh colours including Frost, Obsidian, Lemongrass, and Indigo. But which come to Ireland remains to be seen.
All Pixel 10 phones are promised 7 years of software + security updates, which is great given people are keeping smartphones longer than ever these days.
Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL
For those seeking an even more premium experience, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL take things up a notch. These Pro models come with elegant finishes in Moonstone, Jade, Obsidian, and Porcelain, giving a sophisticated look to your device.
The cameras see significant upgrades too: there’s a 50MP main sensor that delivers best-in-class portraits, a 48MP telephoto lens capable of up to 100x zoom thanks to AI enhancements, and a 42MP selfie camera with a wide 103° field of view—so no one gets left out of your group shots.
The displays get brighter Super Actua screens, now 10% brighter than last year while using less power. With 16GB of RAM, beefier batteries, and faster charging, the Pro XL goes the distance, reaching 70% battery in just 30 minutes with a 45W charger. These features could make the Pro lineup ideal for power users and photography fanatics who want the very best from their Pixel experience.
Pixel 10 Fold
Google’s foldable returns, now tougher and smarter than ever. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold features a robust new gearless hinge crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium, delivering durability that stands up to daily use. It’s also the first foldable to offer IP6A dust and water protection, so you can confidently take it anywhere.
Unfold the device and you get an expansive 8-inch Super Actua Flex display inside, complemented by a 6.4-inch Actua display on the outside, both boasting 3000 nits of brightness which should offer superb viewing in any lighting. The versatile triple camera setup includes a 48MP main lens, ultrawide, and telephoto, with handy features like rear camera selfies and dual screen preview for creative shooting.
Storage options go all the way up to 1TB, and the 5015mAh battery is sized for power users, reaching a 50% charge in just 30 minutes. With these upgrades, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold blends flexibility, toughness, and cutting-edge features, making it an interesting choice for fans of innovative foldables – an ever-growing category for smartphones and one I’m particularly interested in these days.
Again, it remains to be seen just how available this device will be in Ireland.
Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds
It wasn’t just the phones getting attention at Made by Google. The Pixel Watch 4 arrived in both 41mm and 45mm sizes, with a fresh range of bands and a new Quick Charge Dock. Google is continuing its Fitbit integration here, while promising better performance, longer battery life, and 7 years of software updates in line with the phones.
On the audio side, Google refreshed its earbuds lineup with the Pixel Buds 2a and Pixel Buds Pro 2. The 2a are pitched as the affordable entry option with a slimmed-down feature set, while the Pro 2 take aim at premium ANC and audio quality, powered by Gemini AI for live translation and adaptive sound features. Together, they round out Google’s push for a full ecosystem – phones, watches, and buds – all tuned to work best when paired.
This full range of Google Pixel products is officially announced as of today. Be sure to follow Goosed.ie on socials, particularly TikTok, for updates, on availability, pricing and reviews.
