Google is set to announce Pixel 9, its latest flagship smartphone, at the "Made by Google" event on August 13. This launch comes ahead of the expected schedule, as the Pixel 9's predecessor, the Pixel 8, was introduced in October 2023.

In addition to the Pixel 9, Google is expected to introduce the Pixel Watch 3, showcasing the latest advancements in wearable technology. The event will also feature various AI announcements, reflecting the company's ongoing focus on AI innovations.

 

According to a report from The Verge, Google will highlight new AI capabilities, updates to its Pixel devices, and enhancements to the Android platform during the event.

 

This includes the introduction of new AI-driven functionalities designed to enhance user experience across Google's product ecosystem.

 

The "Made by Google" event will take place at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, with the keynote starting at 10 am PT (5 pm GMT). Following the keynote, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a "hands-on product experience."

 

Google's emphasis on AI reflects the broader industry trend, fueled by the debut of ChatGPT in 2022. The company has been at the forefront of AI innovation, with its AI chatbot, Gemini, and a range of AI features integrated into its products.

 

The event is also expected to include announcements about updates to the Android platform. These updates are likely to offer new security features, performance improvements, and innovative functionalities that leverage AI to provide a more refined user experience.
