The wireless earphones will also be able to charge wirelessly at 2.5W
Google announced Pixel Buds Pro on Google I / O earlier this month. The premium wireless earphones are slated to be pre-ordered on July 21st and will hit stores a week later on July 28th. They will be available in four colors: Coral, Lemongrass, Fog and Charcoal. Google is known for launching its products in limited markets and colors outside the United States. The story is a little different here as Pixel Buds Pro will be launched in 12 countries. Even better is that the different color variants will be available in most of these markets.
By comparison, Google launched its budget-oriented Pixel Buds A-Series only in Clearly White in most countries outside the US and Canada. This meant that some missed out on the green hue that Google offered for Pixel Buds A.
Below is an overview of Pixel Buds Pro prices and color availability in the launch countries (via 9to5Google):
Country | Price | Colors |
United States | 199 USD | Coral, Lemongrass, Mist and Charcoal |
Canada | 259.99 CAD | Charcoal, mist, lemongrass |
The United Kingdom | £ 179 | Coral, fog, charcoal, lemongrass |
Australia | € 219 | Fog, charcoal, lemongrass |
Japan | 23,800 JPY | Coral, fog, charcoal, lemongrass |
France | € 219 | Coral, fog, charcoal, lemongrass |
Germany | € 219 | Coral, fog, charcoal, lemongrass |
Ireland | € 219 | Charcoal |
Italy | € 219 | Coral, fog, charcoal, lemongrass |
Spain | € 219 | Coral, fog, charcoal, lemongrass |
Taiwan | $ 5,990 | Charcoal, Fog |
Singapore | SGD 299 | Charcoal |
Note that these are just launch countries, and Google tends to expand the availability of its products to additional markets a few months after release. For example, India is currently missing from this list but we may see them arrive there at a future date.
As seen by 9to5Google, Pixel Buds Pro has also been certified by the Wireless Power Consortium. The list reveals that the earphones can be charged wirelessly at speeds of up to 2.5W. It’s not too slow, but it’s not super fast either. One of the best wireless earphones on the market, the Sony WF-1000XM4 can wirelessly accept 5W power. Nevertheless, with an estimated battery life of 11 hours without ANC, you are unlikely to need to charge Google’s premium wireless buds often.
