Hot on the heels of Samsung Galaxy Unpacked<\/a>, there\u2019s now a big Google<\/a> hardware launch to look forward to, with the brand set to unleash its new Pixel devices at today’s New York-set Made by Google event.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re expecting to see not just the Google Pixel 11 series, but also the Pixel Watch 5 and potentially other devices, too.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find full details of the possible announcements further down this article, but first, we\u2019ve covered exactly when this launch is taking place and how to tune in.<\/p>\n

What to expect at the Google Pixel 11 launch<\/p>\n

These phones are all expected to have a new \u2018HiLight\u2019 feature<\/a>, previously referred to as \u2018Pixel Glow\u2019. This seemingly takes the form of colored lights on the back of the phones that can switch on to alert you to notifications, or when you\u2019re interacting with Gemini.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, these phones are also likely to include a new Tensor G6 chipset to give them a power boost over the Google Pixel 10<\/a> series, and in the case of the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, a 120x camera zoom, up from 100x on the Pixel 10 Pro<\/a> series.<\/p>\n

However, these phones could also be more expensive than their predecessors, and the Pro models might start with less RAM.<\/p>\n

Other than phones, Google is also likely to announce the Pixel Watch 5, which might have double the storage of the Pixel Watch 4<\/a> at 64GB, and 50% more RAM at 3GB. It will reportedly also have a slight battery boost, but could stick with its predecessor\u2019s Snapdragon Wear W5 Gen 2 chipset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also hearing that Google could launch the Pixel Tag at this event. That would be the company\u2019s first AirTag rival.<\/p>\n

Plus, there\u2019s a chance we could hear more about some upcoming Android XR glasses, and we might also finally see the launch of the long-awaited Gemini 3.5 Pro model.<\/p>\n
