New arrivals in India: Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Pixel Buds 2a
Google has expanded its India lineup with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the Pixel Buds 2a, following the earlier launches of the Pixel 10 series, Pixel Watch 4, and other accessories. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the star of this batch, bringing a refined folding design, the latest hardware, and AI features that leverage Google Gemini. The Pixel Buds 2a, while more affordable, mirror many features of the premium Buds 2 Pro, striking a balance between price and performance for everyday listening.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold: what’s new and why it matters
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold builds on its predecessor with upgraded hardware, notably the faster G5 Tensor chipset, and a redesigned hinge that aims to deliver a smoother, gear-free folding experience. Inside, Android 16 brings tighter integration with Google’s AI features, making the device feel more proactive and capable in real-world usage. Gemini AI powers several on-device experiences, including assistant interactions and smarter on-screen actions that adapt to user behavior.
A key benefit for buyers is the included Gemini AI Pro bonus. Google is offering a free 1-year subscription to Gemini AI Pro with Pixel 10 Pro Fold purchases, a value that can be substantial for heavy Gemini users who otherwise would pay a premium for advanced AI features. While the phone’s price starts at Rs 1,72,999 for the single 256GB variant, the promotions don’t end there. Google has started selling Pixel devices directly through the Made By Google website, and there are exchange bonuses and card-based rebates to sweeten the deal.
Prices and offers
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold 256GB variant is priced at Rs 1,72,999. In addition to the base price, buyers can benefit from an exchange offer when trading in an eligible Pixel device and a Rs 10,000 cashback when paying with an HDFC Bank card. The Made By Google store also highlights the Gemini AI Pro 1-year offer as a noteworthy value-add for buyers who are looking to maximize AI-powered features from day one.
Pixel Buds 2a: feature-rich and more affordable
The Pixel Buds 2a are now available at Rs 12,999, giving shoppers a more budget-friendly entry into Google’s true wireless ecosystem. These buds borrow design cues from the more premium Pixel Buds 2 Pro and offer a similar feature set at a lower price point. Highlights include Tensor A1 support, hands-free Gemini assistance, Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and IP54 water resistance. Battery life offers up to 7 hours of listening time with ANC enabled and up to 20 hours with the charging case, making them a practical option for daily use, commuting, and workouts.
The Buds 2a come in Iris and Hazel colors, offering a straightforward, everyday palette that aligns with many Android devices and outfits. For users invested in the Gemini AI ecosystem, the Buds 2a also present convenient hands-free help and on-device intelligence to streamline daily tasks, keep you connected, and improve the overall listening experience.
Availability and how to decide
Both devices are now available for purchase through Google’s official Made By Google store in India. If you’re weighing a foldable phone against a regular flagship, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s AI-driven features and Gemini Pro access provide a compelling value proposition for enthusiasts who want cutting-edge software and a premium camera experience. For those who want solid audio with smart features at a lower price, the Pixel Buds 2a offer a strong balance of performance, comfort, and battery life.
Bottom line
Google’s latest India launches—Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Pixel Buds 2a—underscore the company’s push to blend hardware excellence with AI-powered software. The inclusion of Gemini AI Pro and the targeted promotions make this an appealing time to consider upgrading, whether you want a new foldable flagship or a dependable pair of earbuds that work seamlessly with your Pixel phone and other Google services.
