Google's Pixel Fans Get a Sneak Peek Chance

Google is on the hunt for 15 dedicated Pixel fans to try out their upcoming phones before they hit the shelves. This isn't just any fan club; it's for those who know their Pixel inside and out. The catch? They have to keep their mouths shut about what they find. It's not every day that a big tech company like Google lets outsiders test their new gadgets. Usually, it's just the employees who get this privilege. But now, they're opening it up to a select few Superfans. These lucky ones will get to play with a phone that's still in development and give their two cents on how to make it better. To join this elite group, fans need to show they're the ultimate Pixel enthusiasts. They'll have to prove they know the ins and outs of the Pixel line and have ideas on how to improve it. But will they give Google the praise it wants to hear, or will they dish out some tough love? Being a Superfan usually comes with perks like free stuff and special events. But this time, the biggest perk is getting to test unreleased phones. However, there's a catch. They'll have to sign a strict secrecy agreement and keep the phone in a case that hides its true look. Pixels are known for leaking out before their official release. But with this group, it's unlikely. Google has ways to track where these test phones come from, and the agreement they'll sign is probably scary enough to keep everyone in line. Plus, Google has been sharing details about their phones earlier lately, so these Superfans might even be part of that. Anyone can sign up to be a Superfan, but it can take a while to get in. Google hasn't said when they'll start picking people, but it's got to be soon if they want feedback for the Pixel 11. That phone is probably already in the works and needs to be finalized months before its expected release in August 2026. And let's not forget the Pixel 10a, which is rumored to come out even sooner, in spring 2026.
