Pixel fans, yours The time is now. Google is hosting an event today where the company will fully unveil its next line of flagship phones and the accessories that work with them.
The event, dubbed Made by Google, is taking place at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California. The “Made by” in the event’s name refers to hardware, as it will be the company’s showcase for all the new products coming to its in-house hardware brand, Pixel. Google will showcase the latest iterations of its flagship Pixel smartphones, including the regular and Pro models, a larger XL model, and the foldable version, as well as new Pixel smartwatches and Pixel earbuds.
You can read our full report on what to expect from Made by Google . And if you’re wondering how we’re so confident about what Google is unveiling, well, the leaks have been rife this year. First, phone photos and specs leaked, then images of the Watch, and then three weeks before the event, Google even released a short video officially teasing the Pixel 9 Pro phone. Of course, we also expect Gemini, Google’s AI-powered chatbot and assistant, to be a big part of today’s announcements. Google showed off a lot of what Gemini is capable of earlier this year at its I/O developer conference, but we should expect to see some exclusive Pixel Gemini features today.
Be prepared for the presentation to start at 10am Pacific, 1:00 PM Eastern Time, 18:00 British Summer TimeWe can expect the Made by Google event to last around 75 or 80 minutes.
WIRED has reporters on site at Google HQ today. This live blog will begin about 30 minutes before the presentation begins, and you’ll see all of that text replaced with live updates. We’ll be posting updates and analysis throughout the event, while also providing context to help frame the statements and announcements from Google executives on stage.
So we’ll meet back here at 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time for a half hour of pre-game chatter and (if we’re all lucky) a few photos of the freebies and vegan breakfast burritos provided to the media in attendance. Then the main show starts at 10 a.m. See you then!
