Google's eagerly anticipated Made by Google event has arrived, bringing a host of new Pixel devices into the spotlight. The event, taking place on August 13, 2024, marks an earlier than usual debut for Google's latest phone lineup, with the Pixel 9 series taking center stage.
The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the newest additions to Google's Pixel family, have been teased extensively in social media posts. These devices are expected to feature advanced AI capabilities powered by Google's Gemini platform. While details about the base Pixel 9 remain scarce, it is anticipated to continue the trend of integrating Google's AI technology and may share similarities with previous models in terms of its Tensor processor and compact design.
In addition to the Pixel phones, Google is set to introduce other new devices. Among them is the Pixel Watch 3, and speculation suggests that new Pixel Buds Pro 2 may also be revealed. The event will also offer insights into Android 15's new features and Google's latest AI innovations.
A standout pre-event announcement is the new Google TV streamer, a $100 device that enhances content curation through Gemini and functions as a smart home hub. Set to compete with the Apple TV 4K and Roku Ultra, this device promises improved processing power and storage.
As anticipation builds, the focus of the event is expected to be on AI advancements. Recent Google events have heavily featured AI updates, and this trend is likely to continue. However, there is hope for a balanced showcase, highlighting both AI and hardware innovations.
