What’s happened? Google has a major launch event coming up on August 20, and it’s already confirmed in its media invite that we’ll see “Pixel phones, watches, buds, and more.” And information on what to expect from the Made by Google event continues to flow, with the latest leak seemingly showing us all the devices.

This is important because: As we edge closer to the Made by Google event, we’re seeing numerous complimentary leaks from a variety of sources, suggesting this is what we’ll see come August 20.

Why should I care? Google’s Pixel series of smartphones are one of the most important flagship offerings, going toe-to-toe with Apple’s iPhones and Samsung’s Galaxy devices. While the Pixel phones don’t sell in the same volumes as iPhone and Galaxy S handsets, they are an important window into Google’s software features, and set the tone for Android devices over the next 12 months.

  • Pixel phones are a showcase for Android and Gemini, allowing Google to show the world what its platform and AI can do.
  • They will give us a window into Google’s latest software and AI features, and set the tone for Android for the next 12 months.

Okay, what’s next? We’re just over three weeks away from the Pixel 10 launch event when we’ll learn exactly what Google has in store for us, and whether these plentiful leaks are accurate.

  • Google will be keen to make a splash as it’s likely Apple will swoop in to steal the limelight just a few weeks later with the iPhone 17 launch.
  • Apple’s launch might include the hotly anticipated iPhone Air to challenge the Galaxy S25 Edge , a fight Google isn’t excepted to join this year.

We just got our best look yet at the Google Pixel Watch 4

The Google Pixel Watch 4 is the next entry in Google's celebrated wearable lineup, and we just got a great look at a set of new leaks. The images come courtesy of Steve Hemmerstoffer, better known as OnLeaks, as well as 91mobiles. In addition to 5K renders, we also have a 360-degree video that lets us examine the phone from multiple angles.

Right off the bat, you'll notice the Pixel Watch 4 hasn't shifted away from the circular design of the Pixel Watch 3 in any major way, but it does look to have smaller bezels. That's not surprising, given the ongoing push across the entire industry for smaller bezels on every display.

The Google Pixel 9a is the super slimline phone we’ve been waiting for
The back of the Google Pixel 9a.

I’ve never let a camera bump bother me. They’re a fact of modern smartphone life, as brands shove bigger and better cameras into a small space which is also occupied by processors, batteries, and all kinds of other tech. But going forward, things will never be the same as I’ve been using the Google Pixel 9a for a few days, and I can tell you, the slimline life is so good.
Is it really that different?

The Google Pixel 9a doesn’t have the now-iconic Pixel visor or island containing the cameras. Instead, it doesn’t have anything as its two cameras live inside a stadium-shaped glass unit that sits almost flush with the surface of the rear panel. It’s raised by a millimeter or so, which you only notice when you run your finger across it. A flash unit sits alongside it, and it’s entirely built into the back of the Pixel 9a.

I hope the Pixel 10 Pro Fold camera is better than rumored, here’s why
The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold's camera module.

One of last year's best surprises was the redesigned Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Google’s second-generation folding phone fixed most of the challenges identified with the Pixel Fold and positioned it as the folding equivalent of the Pixel 9 Pro series.

Flagship performance, a squared design, and the iconic porcelain white colorway all helped the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to feel part of the current lineup rather than as a separate product range as Samsung did with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
