GoKawiilGoogle’s Pixel 11 launch is taking a slightly unusual route this year. The company’s Made by Google event doesn’t actually begin until 6 PM ET today, but thanks to an early press embargo, we already know everything that Google plans to announce this evening. That said, Google could still have a few surprises up its sleeve, including the celebrity appearances it has been teasing.
Unsurprisingly, the headline of today’s announcements and the event itself is the Pixel 11 family. Google is also introducing a new smartwatch, its first-ever AirTag-style tracker, and some notable Gemini and health features.

The regular Pixel 11 gets a refined design with an all-glass camera bar that stretches across the phone and is 40% thinner than before. It comes in Frost, Hibiscus, Pistachio, and Obsidian, with a polished Victus 2 back and satin aluminum frame.
The camera system is getting a meaningful upgrade, too. The 48MP main camera has 56% more light sensitivity, while the 10.8MP 5x telephoto can now reach up to 30x Super Zoom. The 13MP ultrawide and 10.5MP autofocus selfie camera are making a return.
