Google is gearing up for its highly anticipated Pixel 10 launch event on August 20 in Brooklyn, New York. The event promises to be a star-studded affair, with late-night host Jimmy Fallon set to take the stage as the host. Fallon, in a YouTube Short, confirmed his role and hinted at some “secret product drops” during the event.
Google has also teased appearances from NBA superstar Stephen Curry, Formula 1 driver Lando Norris, and the Jonas Brothers. Despite numerous leaks leading up to the event, the inclusion of these big-name celebrities suggests there may still be a few surprises in store. The tech world will be watching closely to see if Google can deliver unexpected announcements.
A last-minute retailer leak has revealed some of the accessories that will be launched alongside the Pixel 10 series. These include a new 67W dual-port power adapter in a “Snow” colorway, priced at around $57 USD. This is almost double the cost of Google’s previous 45W charger.

Another exciting reveal is the Pixelsnap Charger with Stand, priced at around $72 USD. This new accessory is $10 cheaper than its predecessor, the Pixel Stand 2, making it a more affordable option for users.
However, prices are increasing for some accessories. The new cases, which include embedded magnets, are listed at around $50 USD, up from the previous $35 USD price for Pixel 9 models. With four new Pixel phones, a new Pixel watch, and new Pixel earphones expected to be unveiled, there’s a lot to look forward to.
The event is shaping up to be quite the spectacle, marking a departure from Google’s usual format. Stay tuned for live post-event coverage, where CNET’s Bridget Carey, Iyaz Akhtar, and other editors will break down everything unveiled by Google. The live broadcast will take place on Wednesday, Aug.
