The time has come for Googleās āMade by Googleā event. On Wednesday, Aug. 20, Google will once again unveil a family of new Pixel devices, and this time weād bet good money that its AI chatbot, Gemini, will be in the driverās seat.
Unless Google plans to pull a rabbit out of a hat, weāre not expecting any hardware surprises. A steady stream of leaks (and Googleās own teaser videos) over the past several months has all but revealed everything there is to know about the expected Pixel 10 family of smartphones (Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL), a second-gen book-style foldable (Pixel 10 Pro XL), the Pixel Watch 4 (in two sizes), and new A-Series wireless earbuds (Pixel Buds 2A).
Weāre not saying nobody will get gadget lust, but the focus will be on Gemini and how Google will convey the AI chatbotās usefulness. Will we finally get true agentic multitasking that allows you to tell Gemini to just do stuff for you without having to open any apps? Or will Google just show off more of the same generative AI features for summaries and photo editingābut better and faster?
Weāll find out what Googleās grand plan is in less than 24 hours when the event kicks off at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT. Gizmodoās Senior Consumer Tech Editor, Raymond Wong, will be covering the Made by Google event in Brooklyn, NY, which was the same place that Samsung threw its big foldables Unpacked event last month. Guess all the cool tech companies party in Brooklyn now. Bookmark this page and follow our live blog tomorrow.
Nothing to the Imagination
Google couldnāt wait until its āMade by Googleā event to announce its full Pixel 10 smartphone lineup, so it shared a family shot early. If youāve been living underneath a rock, hereās what you need to know: there will be a Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
You can see and read about Googleās own āleakā for the entire family of new Android phones here.
Check out that new blue color, though. Feels like a throwback to the original, first-gen Pixel 1. The gray āMoonstoneā looks pretty neutral. āRaymond Wong
