When you watch the live stream of next week's "Made by Google 2024" event, you might check your calendar to make sure it's not in October. That's because every year Google holds a hardware event to show off its new phones and other devices.

But it isn't. Now it really is August, and Google is ready to show off its latest devices. And if Google is excited enough to move up its usual product announcements by two months, you probably want to see what the company has planned for its latest Pixel phones, wearables, and Android 15 update.

Google's main focus at Made by Google concerns the Pixel 9 lineup, and the company has already confirmed that the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be at the event. (The latter is the successor to the Pixel Fold and will join the Pixel 9 Pro lineup.) And the arrival of new Pixel flagships usually means the introduction of new AI features driven by Tensor silicon inside those phones.

Others rumored to be announced at this year's Made by Google include the Pixel Watch 3 and new premium earbuds.

We will be at the event in Mountain View, CA and will be covering all the announcements. If you would like to watch from anywhere in the world, you can find a live stream of the Made by Google event here.

Made by Google will take place on Tuesday, August 13 at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, CA. The event will begin at 10:00 am PT/1:00 pm ET/6:00 pm BST.

Google will live stream its product launch, which will be broadcast live by its YouTube channel. A placeholder video is already available, and it is expected that this will be the live stream on August 13.

There will also be a Made by Google "After Party" stream, which is expected to be hosted by actress and singer Keke Palmer.

While this spring's Google I/O 2024 focused on software in general and AI in particular, Made by Google should focus on hardware. We expect the following.

Google's Pixel phones will get their annual upgrade, likely doubling the lineup from two to four models.

According to rumors about Google's plans, the standard Pixel 9 will be joined by the Pixel 9 Pro, but this time both models should have the same screen size. But don't worry - there will still be a larger screen Pixel Pro in the form of the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Rumor has it that the device will have a 6.7" or 6.8" panel.

As before, the Pro model will feature a triple camera setup, including a telephoto lens. Rumors suggest an improved ultrawide and front camera for the Pixel 9 Pro device; the Pixel 9 should retain the main camera and ultrawide camera setup. According to images posted by Google, the device will have a slight change in design, with the edges of the camera bar rounded, replacing the full rectangular bar that runs across the length of the phone.

The new Pixel phones should feature the Tensor G4 chipset, which may be only a minor upgrade to the Tensor G3 processor. However, the focus of the Tensor chip typically includes AI, and it has been suggested that the G4 will add many new features, including call recording and transcription capabilities, the ability to insert people into group photos when they are the ones taking the pictures, etc.

Now that we have mentioned the four Pixel 9 models, let us introduce another device that will join the standard Pixel 9 and the two Pixel 9 Pro models. It is the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, a foldable device that Google had already teased in a YouTube video.

By making the follow-up Pixel Fold part of the Pixel 9 Pro lineup, Google can move from the Tensor G2 in the older foldable to the newer Tensor G4. The latest Fold is heard to feature a larger, brighter display, more RAM, and a design that makes the Pixel 9 Fold thinner than the just-launched Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Usually when Google announces the next Pixel phone, it will also offer the latest version of Android, since the software update on the latest Google flagship is available, and Android 15 has been in beta release since spring, There may be an official release announcement during Google I/O. If that happens, the software will be available for older Pixels, starting with the Pixel 6. After that, other handset makers' Android phones could detail their Android 15 update schedules.

We do not expect Google to spend much time on the Android 15 stage with Made by Google, given its focus on hardware. So let's check out a complete breakdown of all the changes that are confirmed to be coming to Android.

Like the Pixel 9 family, the Pixel Watch lineup will also be expanded with Made by Google. The previous generation of Google smartwatches came in only one size, with LTE and Wi-Fi enabled variants; the Pixel Watch 3 is expected to add a second model to the standard 41mm wearable, a 45mm version according to rumors. [Wear OS 5, which was introduced on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra in July, should also be included in the latest Pixel Watch. In addition to improved battery performance, Wear OS 5 adds fitness statistics for runners, including ground contact time, stride length, vertical sway, and vertical ratio.

Google is clearly aiming to improve the running experience to compete with the Apple Watch's improved ring system.

Leaks featuring the Pixel Buds Pro 2 charging case have appeared on Danish and Korean authentication sites, suggesting that Made by Google will likely include accessories for the phone to be announced at the event.

The biggest detail found in the list concerns the battery. Specifically, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 may feature a 650mAh battery instead of the 620mAh battery found in the original earphones.

A surprise leak on Reddit (spotted by 9to5Google) revealed a case from accessory maker Spigen on Amazon. As of this writing, the image posted is no longer available on Amazon. There appear to be some changes to the design, and four color options are available.
