Google is set to host its annual hardware event, the Made by Google 2024 showcase, earlier than usual this year. Scheduled for 1PM ET on August 13, the event will be available for live streaming on the Made by Google YouTube channel or can be watched directly on Engadget for detailed coverage.
This year’s showcase is anticipated to reveal a variety of new products, with a strong emphasis on the latest Pixel devices.
At the event, Google will likely reveal its new Pixel smartphone lineup, which includes the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 XL. These models are expected to feature a distinctive camera bar on their rear panels.
Additionally, Google is rebranding its foldable phone from the Pixel Fold 2 to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The integration of Google’s Gemini AI assistant into these phones is expected to enhance productivity and simplify photo editing tasks.
In addition to the new Pixel smartphones, there are rumors about the announcement of the Pixel Watch 3, which is anticipated to come in two different sizes. The Pixel Buds 2 might also be revealed at the event. These new gadgets will complement the Pixel devices and potentially broaden Google’s hardware offerings.
Google recently introduced a new TV streaming box and the Nest Learning Thermostat, which suggests that the upcoming event will be primarily focused on Pixel-related announcements. However, the possibility of additional surprises remains, with an “after party” event scheduled for 2:30PM ET to potentially showcase more developments.
