Google Pixel 10,Foldable Launch Delayed Amid Supply Chain Issues
Table of Contents
MOUNTAIN VIEW,CA – August 7,2024 – Google is facing potential delays in the release of several highly anticipated products,including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold,Pixel Watch 4,and Pixel Buds 2A,due to ongoing supply chain disruptions. Sources indicate the launch window for these devices will likely extend beyond October 9th, despite a planned unveiling event on August 20th.
The delays stem from challenges in sourcing components, a common issue impacting the consumer electronics industry globally. While the specific components causing bottlenecks haven’t been publicly disclosed, industry analysts point to potential shortages of specialized display panels for the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold and advanced sensors for the Pixel watch 4.
This setback represents a shift in google’s launch strategy. In recent years, the company aimed to preempt Apple’s fall product announcements. A two-month gap between the August 20th presentation and potential market availability could significantly impact Google’s competitive positioning.
What’s Still on Track?
Not all of Google’s upcoming devices are affected. The standard Pixel 10,Pixel 10 Pro,and Pixel 10 Pro XL are currently slated for release on August 28th,according to internal schedules. These models are expected to feature a new chipset manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), located in Hsinchu, Taiwan, representing a key upgrade in processing power and efficiency.
Pixel 10 Series: what to Expect
While major design overhauls aren’t anticipated for the Pixel 10 series, the focus is on internal improvements. The new TSMC-built chipset, rumored to be the Tensor G5, is expected to deliver important performance gains in areas like artificial intelligence, image processing, and overall system responsiveness. The Pixel 10 Pro models are also expected to feature upgraded camera systems, perhaps incorporating new sensor technology developed in collaboration with Sony in Japan.
The Pixel Watch 4, despite the delay, is anticipated to include advanced health tracking features, potentially including continuous glucose monitoring capabilities, a feature currently under development at Google’s health division in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Pixel Buds 2A are expected to offer improved noise cancellation and battery life.
