It’s time for Google to rethink its Pixel phones

It’s officially the beginning of the best time of year. The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and new Pixel phones are hitting the shelves. Google just recently announced the Pixel 9a as its latest budget Pixel, and in a few short months, it’ll be time for the flagship Pixel 10 series to make its debut.

We’re expecting this year’s Pixel lineup to look the same as 2024’s, with the 2025 family likely consisting of the new Pixel 9a, plus the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. On paper, that’s all well and good. Multiple models for us to choose from is never a bad thing, and having Pixels span from $499 up to $1,799 for the Fold means there’s something for every budget.
