Believe it or not, Big Tech’s fall hardware events are already upon us. (Heck, Samsung already got a jump on things in July.) Up next: Google’s big Pixel shindig. You can learn all about the new Pixel 10 lineup, along with new watches and earbuds, on August 20.
Google’s new hardware has leaked far and wide. But that doesn’t mean there couldn’t be a few surprises. If you want to be the first to hear the official scoop, you can tune into the Made by Google YouTube channel (or right here!). The event kicks off at 1PM ET on August 20.

What’s on tap? You can expect a more power-efficient Tensor G5 processor in all the new Pixel 10 phones. (That could help power new Gemini AI features, too.) The base-level Pixel 10 should get a big camera upgrade: a 5x telephoto lens. Before this generation, you had to splurge on a Pro or Fold model to get optical zoom. Cameras will be higher-res across the board, too.
In other areas, Qi2 magnetic charging is expected to come to the new Pixels. Expect a new accessory ecosystem, a la Apple’s MagSafe, dubbed “Pixelsnap.” We’ll also likely see the Pixel Watch 4 with a larger battery and smaller bezels. And the Pixel Buds 2a could bring refinements to the company’s budget earbuds.
Finally, Google teased… a strange number of guests for the upcoming event. Apparently, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Curry, Lando Norris and the Jonas Brothers are all joining the stream. So get excited for some awkward celebrity endorsements!
Engadget’s Pixel 10 roundup will give you a much more detailed dive into the leaks. You can head back here on August 20 at 1PM ET to watch live.
