Last year, Google had comedian Jimmy Fallon host its Pixel 10 launch event<\/a>, and this year comedian Trevor Noah will be handling hosting duties. Other big-name guests promoting the new Pixel hardware will include Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper, Indian cricket player Shubman Gill, and Japanese actress and model Ayami Nakajo.<\/p>\n As usual with these big tech launches, Gizmodo will be in attendance at the unusually late event and live blogging it all. Come back on Wednesday to hear it all. Let\u2019s see if Noah does a better job than Fallon!<\/p>\n Aug 10Don\u2019t Expect Any Googlebooks<\/a> As Gizmodo\u2019s resident laptop guy, I\u2019m very tuned in to every little rumor that pertains to the supposed souped-up sequel to Chromebooks, dubbed Googlebooks<\/a>. However, based solely on how we haven\u2019t seen the hide nor hair of these devices in the run-up to the Made By Google showcase, we probably won\u2019t see anything about this new laptop form factor\u2014nary a hint of that supposed \u201cGlowbar\u201d nor the supposed combination of ChromeOS and Android<\/a>.<\/p>\n Google has promised us some more details in the fall. Based on all the leaked renders<\/a> and the churning rumor mill, we may hear more details within the next few months. \u2014Kyle Barr<\/p>\n Aug 10Here Comes Google\u2019s Own AirTag<\/a> <\/p>\n Apple has AirTag 2, Samsung has the Galaxy SmartTag 2, and Motorola has the Moto Tag 2. So why shouldn\u2019t Google have its own item tracker? That\u2019s exactly what Google is reportedly planning. Its version will supposedly be called\u2026 the Pixel Tag<\/a>. I know, real original. \u2014Raymond Wong<\/p>\n Aug 10Faster AI for the Pixel Watch<\/a> Along with the Pixel 11 phones, Google will announce the Pixel Watch 5. Just don\u2019t expect any major hardware changes. It\u2019s expected to come in the same two sizes (41mm and 45mm) and Google\u2019s signature round, pebble-like shape. Leaks suggest<\/a> the smartwatch will have more RAM for more responsive Gemini performance. Google might increase the price by $50, too. \u2014Raymond Wong<\/p>\n Imagine a watch that tracks your health, sleep and fitness\u2026but still has the decency to look like a watch.<\/p>\n Google #PixelWatch<\/a> 5. <\/p>\n August 12.<\/p>\n Learn more and sign up for #MadeByGoogle<\/a> updates: https:\/\/t.co\/huJURUYrJK<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/IJ7G3EaWtC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Made by Google (@madebygoogle) August 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Aug 10Just Better Cameras on the Pixel 11 Pro Fold?<\/a> <\/p>\n While Samsung is winning everyone with its new, shorter, and wider Galaxy Z Fold 8 (read my review here<\/a>!), Google will march on with the design that it established with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. In its teaser video below, we can see raised lenses on the camera bump, suggesting improved optics. There\u2019s also that purported \u201cHiLight\u201d notification light teased for the non-folding Pixel 11 series.<\/p>\n Is that going to be enough to get people buying Google\u2019s new foldable?\u00a0\u2014Raymond Wong<\/p>\n
