The time has come for Google’s “Made by Google” event. On Wednesday, Aug. 20, Google will once again unveil a family of new Pixel devices, and this time we’d bet good money that its AI chatbot, Gemini, will be in the driver’s seat.
Unless Google plans to pull a rabbit out of a hat, we’re not expecting any hardware surprises. A steady stream of leaks (and Google’s own teaser videos) over the past several months has all but revealed everything there is to know about the expected Pixel 10 family of smartphones (Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL), a second-gen book-style foldable (Pixel 10 Pro XL), the Pixel Watch 4 (in two sizes), and new A-Series wireless earbuds (Pixel Buds 2A).
We’re not saying nobody will get gadget lust, but the focus will be on Gemini and how Google will convey the AI chatbot’s usefulness. Will we finally get true agentic multitasking that allows you to tell Gemini to just do stuff for you without having to open any apps? Or will Google just show off more of the same generative AI features for summaries and photo editing—but better and faster?
We’ll find out what Google’s grand plan is in less than 24 hours when the event kicks off at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT. Gizmodo’s Senior Consumer Tech Editor, Raymond Wong, will be covering the Made by Google event in Brooklyn, NY, which was the same place that Samsung threw its big foldables Unpacked event last month. Guess all the cool tech companies party in Brooklyn now. Bookmark this page and follow our live blog tomorrow.
