Streaming Google's Major Pixel Event: Instructions Provided by Google Itself
The Google Pixel hardware lineup is about to get a major upgrade at the highly anticipated Made by Google event on Tuesday, Aug. 13, at 1 p.m. ET or 10 a.m. PT. While leaks have spilled the beans, Google is still expected to make a big splash with its reveals.
The Pixel enthusiasts can gear up for bigger phones, slimmer foldable phones, smarter watches, and smaller earbuds. The spotlight, however, will be on the pixie-pink Pixel.
Tune in to the YouTube livestream for the event, but buckle up for a long exploration of Google's AI integration with its late-summer product lineup, including the infamous Gemini AI.
The Great Unveiling: Pixel 9 Series
Google has officially unveiled the Pixel 9 series, consisting of the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and a possible Pixel 9 Pro XL. While the smaller models are now available, the larger Pro variant will launch on Sept. 4, 2024.
We can expect numerous updates, from improved camera capabilities to AI-centric photo editing and a more efficient processor, the Google Tensor G4. The phones will also boast an industrial design, featuring flat side rails, a separate camera island, and AI-powered photography features like "Add Me" and "Best Take."
An Affordable Alternative: Pixel 9a
For those seeking a more affordable option, Google will introduce the Pixel 9a later with an impressive design, upgraded cameras, and AI features, priced at $499.
