Made by Google 2024: How to watch Google unveil the Pixel 9, a new foldable and more
Google’s been on a consumer hardware jag in August. Last week, the company announced the long-awaited new Nest Thermostat, along with Google TV Streamer, which replaces the 11-year-old Chromecast line. And today at Made by Google 2024, the software giant refreshed the Pixel line with a slew of new smartphones and a ton of Gemini AI announcements, which you can catch up on here.
Previous years’ Made by Google events have occurred on the East Coast in October. This one is happening in the company’s Mountain View headquarters, and it kicked off at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET on August 13.
As ever, the easiest way to watch is through Google’s own livestream, coincidentally embedded below and with a full archive of the event’s broadcast.
As always, the gang at Dakidarts will be bringing you the news as it breaks.
Along with announcing new home devices and an upgrade to Google Assistant, which will remain on Home and Nest devices amid Gemini’s rise, the company has teased two new mobile devices: the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Fold. It also removed any doubt that its generative AI platform will take center stage, with the taglines, “A (foldable) phone built for the Gemini era.”
We should be seeing a lot more of Android 15 at the event. The mobile operating system should debut on the Pixel 9 line, along with an upgraded in-house processor. The latest version of the Pixel Watch and Pixel Buds Pro are also rumored for release.
