The Google Pixel 10 leaks just don’t seem to end. The latest leak gives us our first listen to the device’s audio experience, while Google simultaneously rolls out significant savings across its current Pixel lineup for Father’s Day shoppers.

New Pixel 10 system sounds surface online

The Pixel 10 has made headlines again with a fresh leak revealing its complete collection of system sounds. As highlighted by to Android Police, the new ringtone, notification chimes, and alarm tones have found their way online through the YouTube channel theVakhovske and were later shared via the Google Pixel Hub Telegram channel.

Google appears to be building on familiar themes with these new audio elements. The flagship ringtone takes inspiration from the current “Your New Adventure” tone but carries the updated name “The Next Adventure.” The notification sound follows a similar pattern, with the new “Kernel” chime offering a softer take on the existing “Eureka” notification.

For early risers, Google has prepared “Fresh Morning” as the new alarm tone. This sound continues the evolution from the current “Fresh Start” alarm while maintaining the gentle wake-up experience Pixel users expect.

The leak suggests Google will likely extend these new sounds to older Pixel devices once the Pixel 10 officially launches. This follows the company’s established pattern of sharing audio collections across its smartphone lineup. The Pixel 8 series brought us the “Gems” collection in 2023, while the Pixel 9 devices introduced the “Sound Matters” series.

Early signs point to a potential July or August release for the Pixel 10, which would mark an earlier launch than Google’s typical October timeline. The company has scheduled its Pixel Superfans event for late June and plans to release Android 16 ahead of schedule, both suggesting an accelerated product cycle this year.

Google Father’s Day sale delivers major Pixel savings

While Pixel fans eagerly await the next generation, Google has launched its Father’s Day promotion with substantial discounts across the current Pixel ecosystem. The sale represents the first significant price drop for the recently launched Pixel 9a, now available starting at $449 for the 128GB model.

The savings extend well beyond the budget-friendly 9a. The standard Pixel 9 sees its price reduced from $799 to $599, while the Pro XL variant drops from $1,099 to $899. The premium Pixel 9 Pro Fold receives the deepest discount at $300 off its regular $1,799 price tag.

Wearable enthusiasts can grab the Pixel Watch 3 with $50 off standard models and $70 off LTE versions. The 41mm standard configuration now costs $300, while the larger 45mm model is priced at $350. These deals bring the smartwatches within striking distance of their lowest Amazon prices this year.

Audio accessories join the sale with the Pixel Buds Pro 2 dropping to $189 from their regular $229 price point. The Pixel Tablet lineup also sees reductions, with the basic model starting at $279 and the Speaker Dock bundle available for $399.

It’s worth noting that other retailers are also offering discounts on Pixel phones at the moment, including Amazon. So you might want to compare the deals with other retailers so you grab the best one out there.

These discounted prices on the Pixel 9 devices are perfect for those who don’t want to drop a bomb for purchasing the Pixel 10 series. While the Pixel 10 is expected to bring the much-awaited Tensor G5 manufactured by TSMC, the Pixel 9 series will still hold up well in 2025 and beyond. Plus, we may see an increase in price for some Pixel 10 models.  Either way, it’s exciting times to be a Pixel fan.
