Today is the day for a Made byGoogleevent (that’s August 13 at the time of writing), where we expect to see a whole suite of Pixel devices, from phones to watches, foldables to earbuds, and of course plenty of AI. Right now we have ourMade by Google live blogup and running to bring you all the news and views from the event, as well as last-minute leaks and rumors.

The Made by Google event follows May’sGoogle I/O 2024showcase, where the search giant talked up the AI future of Android, itsGoogle GeminiAIchatbot, and the super-smartProject Astra; that’s if the latter ever makes it out of a lab.

However, the August event will focus on hardware, with new phones and wearables sure to be in the spotlight. Still, we expect Google to champion a lot of AI features for these new devices.

So read on for how to watch the Made by Google event on August 13, and a brief overview of what to expect.

What to expect at the August made by Google event

Google has already officially stated that theGoogle Pixel 9 Proand Pixel 9 Pro Foldwill be revealed at the Made by Google event. Therefore, we also expect to see theGoogle Pixel 9.

The Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro aren’t expected to have huge upgrades over their predecessors. But images so far show a new horizontal pill-shaped design for the Pro’s rear cameras, andleaked imageshave shown that change will filter down to the standard Pixel 9. Expect a new Tensor G-series chip as well, focusing on powering AI tools on-device.

There have been rumors and tidbits of information about aGoogle Pixel 9 Pro XL, which looks set to bring a larger display and battery to the next-generation Pixel lineup. However, it’s unclear if the XL phone, if legitimate, will get unique features beyond the screen and battery.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold looks set to be a big upgrade over theGoogle Pixel Fold. Expect a powerful chipset, a new suite of rear cameras that look set to follow the specs and capabilities of the 9 Pro, and a tweaked design to make for a thinner foldable phone that still sports a large interior screen.

There are also hints that we could expect the rumoredGoogle Pixel Watch 3, where we hope to see improved performance, better battery life, and a suite of smart features. And we’d not be surprised to see the likes of theGoogle Pixel Buds Pro 2, which are likely to have improved audio over their predecessors but also be compatible with Google Gemini AI features.

In short, the August 13 Made by Google event looks set to have a bounty of new Pixel products to peruse and potentially pre-order.
