Google this morning announced that its annual Pixel hardware event will be taking place on August 13. This is incredibly early for 2024 with Made by Google usually taking place in October. Instead of New York City, Made by Google 2024 is taking place at the company’s headquarters in Mountain View, California this time.
In addition to the Pixel 9, we foresee two sizes of the Pixel 9 Pro. Possibly the “XL” variant should be the same size as today’s Pro, while Google is finally making a smaller flagship. A Pixel 9 Pro Fold is also expected.
Google also released a teaser for its Pixel 9 Pro. There is a 12-second video that confirms the same. The text disappears save for “IX” (Roman Numeral for 9). The Pixel 9 Pro teaser ends showing the date “August 13, 2024” in Roman Numerals.
The keynote takes place on Tuesday, August 13 from 10 to 11 a.m. PT. As always, there will be a YouTube livestream. In announcing the event, Google has repeatedly mentioned Android, Gemini, and Pixel.
Made by Google will showcase what happens when we bring the best of Google AI and our mobile platform together. Tune in to see the latest exciting updates across Android, Gemini, and the Pixel portfolio of devices.
It comes as Android and Pixel are now part of the same division: Platforms & Devices. The hope is that this leads to an even more integrated software/hardware experience. Meanwhile, Google teased at I/O 2024 that Pixel this year would get Gemini Nano with Multimodality to power experiences like spam call detection.
