Made By Google 2024: Expected Pixel Launches & Where to Stream

Google seems to have been firing on all cylinders in recent months. On Tuesday, tech and Android enthusiasts will turn to the “Made By Google 2024” event, where Google will show off its latest foldable smartphones and other hardware and software innovations.

The company already pre-empted itself by announcing a $100 Google TV Streamer last Tuesday, which it set to replace the Chromecast.

Center stage at the 2024 event is the official launch of the Pixel 9 lineup, with the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold already confirmed. Additionally, the Pixel Tablet 2 and Pixel Watch 3 are set to make their debut.

Beyond hardware, Google is also expected to release the full version of Android 15, along with other advancements in its artificial intelligence initiative, Gemini.

As we prepare for the event, here is a list of what to expect and how you can watch the event live next Tuesday.

What is Made By Google?

The “Made By Google” event is an annual event where Google unveils its newest hardware and software innovations. From flagship smartphones and tablets to smart home devices, the event always generates buzz among tech consumers and industry analysts.

While last year saw the release of Google Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel Watch 2, this year seems to be charged with a lot of announcements beyond the Pixel 9 series.

While the day is primarily seen as a Pixel launch event, expect plenty of AI and Android news — and as AI gradually becoming the heartbeat of smartphones, we expect Google to showcase the power of its Gemini AI assistant.

So when Google CEO Sundar Pichai gives the keynote on Tuesday, we will not only explore the hardware device but also how software innovations fit into Google’s ecosystem of services.

Made by Google: Expected Product Launches

Pixel 9

The Pixel 9 is already hyped as the star of this year’s event. Building on the success of the recently launched Google Pixel 8a, the Pixel 9 is rumored to feature notable upgrades including Google’s fourth-generation chipset, Tensor G4, large camera lens, and AI features.

Based on the leaks we’ve picked up so far, the new Google Pixel phone will come in four variants: the base Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Pixel Tablet 2

Google’s Pixel Tablet 2 is set to make waves with its versatile design, aimed at bridging the gap between productivity and entertainment.

The device is likely to feature a Tensor G3 chip, 12GB of RAM, and a larger battery compared to its predecessor. The design is expected to remain similar to the first Pixe tablet but with enhanced display quality and updated camera specs. The tablet will likely run on Android 14, and could include new software features.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold has garnered significant buzz ever since some leaks about the spec appeared online ahead of this year’s event.

As Google’s first venture into foldable phones, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to blend cutting-edge hardware with Google’s latest AI-powered software.

Key features might include a solid hinge design, high-resolution OLED display, and advanced camera technology. This device is set to be a flagship product, so expect it to position Google as a serious competitor in the foldable market.

Pixel Watch 3

As the latest addition to Google’s smartwatch lineup, the Pixel Watch 3 is expected to combine innovative design with advanced features, making it a strong competitor in the wearable market. Leaks suggest the watch will offer improved battery life, brighter display, and enhanced connectivity options.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2

Over the past few weeks, there have been highlights of what we expect to see from the upcoming Pixel Buds Pro 2, some of which include enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and improved battery life. While the original Pixel Buds Pro had a good arrival, the Buds Pro 2 will be another opportunity for Google to enhance its earbud flagship.

Android 15

Android 15 is set to be another key focus at this year’s “Made by Google” event. Following the typical Android release cycle, the first Android 15 Beta was released on April 11, while the last Beta version, Android 15 Beta 4 was announced last month.

Following these testing rounds, we expect the official Android 15 to introduce more advanced AI integration at the OS level, refined privacy controls, and enhanced multitasking. Rumored improvements include a more intuitive user interface, better battery management, and more customizability and security.

Where Can I Watch Made by Google?

While Google’s Made by Google events typically place on the East Coast in October, this year’s event will be held at the company’s Mountain View headquarters in California and will begin at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET on August 13.

The simplest way to watch the event is through Google’s live stream on YouTube.
