The Google Pixel 10 series is nearly here, with leaks up to this point offering a detailed look at all models in the family. As with any yet-to-be-launched flagship smartphone, there has been some speculation about the potential prices of the Pixel 10 range. One leak in April suggested a pretty unchanged price tag for the entire lineup of Pixel 10 devices. Now, a reliable source from Europe is shedding light on the price tags of Google’s four flagship smartphones, plus the Pixel Buds 2a, in the region.

Writing on Bluesky, well-known leaker Roland Quandt shared the European pricing for each model and configuration of the Pixel 10 series. A quick look at the list of prices suggests zero changes compared to last year’s Pixel 9 series, though the Pixel Buds 2a, which is the follow-up to 2021’s Pixel Buds A-Series, will see a price bump (via Android Authority).
According to Quandt, the entry-level 128GB Pixel 10 will cost €899 (~$1050), while the 256GB model will cost an additional €100. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro will start from €1099 (~$1285) with 128GB of storage, going all the way up to €1589 (~$1857) for the 1TB variant.
On the other hand, the Pixel 10 Pro XL will sport 256GB of base storage, taking its price to €1299 (~$1518), while the model with 1TB of storage space will cost €1689 (~$1975). The hotly anticipated Pixel 10 Pro Fold will start from €1899 (~$2220) for the 256GB trim, with the 1TB version going for €2289 (~$2675). While an April report indicated the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may see a price decrease, that doesn’t appear to be the case based on the EU prices leaked by Quandt.
Lastly, Google’s long-awaited Pixel A-Series refresh will cost €149 (~$174) across Europe, a €50 increase. This indicates the US may similarly witness a $50 bump in pricing for the Pixel Buds 2a, though this can’t be confirmed at the moment.
But what does this tell us about the Pixel 10’s prices in the US?
Typically (though not always), the prices of smartphones in Europe match their counterparts in the US. However, the same cannot be said this year with the Pixel 10 series, given the uncertainty around the US government’s tariffs on goods produced outside its boundaries. Since Google Pixel phones are produced in China, India, and Vietnam, buying a Pixel 10 in the US could cost you more than in other regions.
Fortunately, we don’t have to wait long to find out if Google will take a hit on its bottom line and absorb any tariff-related costs or pass them down to the customers. August 20 is rumored to be the day when Google unwraps its new Pixel products, though the launch event was initially reported to take place on August 13. While people will have to wait until next month to learn about the Pixel 10 lineup’s pricing structure in the US, a prototype motherboard of the phone recently went up for sale, revealing most of its characteristics, including the Tensor G5 chipset.
