During Google’s most recent launch event, I/O 2024, the tech giant unveiled its vision for an AI-driven future, along with updates on Android 15 and wearOS 5 beta, and the early release of the Pixel 8a. Now, all eyes are on the upcoming Google event to see what new products will be launched.
When does Google usually hold events?
Google typically hosts two major launch events each year. The first is in May/June, during the annual Google I/O developer conference. This event focuses on software updates for Android and Wear OS, as well as the introduction of budget-friendly Pixel ‘a’ phones like the Pixel 7a unveiled at the 2023 I/O event.
The second event usually takes place in October and is known as the ‘Made by Google’ event. This event showcases flagship Pixel phones, along with other hardware releases such as the Pixel Watch. For instance, the October 2023 Made by Google event featured the launch of the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel Watch 2.
When will the next Google event take place?
In a surprising move, Google has sent out invitations for the 2024 Made By Google event scheduled for August 13, 2024. The event promises to highlight the best of Google AI, Android software, and the Pixel device lineup. A teaser trailer for the event has also been released on Google’s YouTube channel.
What will Google announce at its next event?
The teaser video for the upcoming event strongly suggests that the Google Pixel 9 will be unveiled. The video features the outline of two phones with ‘IX’ Roman numerals, indicating the Pixel 9. Additionally, the event’s URL contains the term ‘google_pixel_9_pro’, hinting at the possible launch of the Pixel 9 Pro as well.
