The next Made By Google event is coming in August: All the devices and news we expect

The wait is nearly over, as we finally have a confirmed reveal date for the Google Pixel 10 lineup of smartphones.

Google nailed down Aug. 20 for its next Made by Google event, where it’s widely expected that we’ll see the Pixel 10 phones and perhaps more. You’ll be able to watch the event live when it happens next month, but until then, we’ll tide you over with what we expect to see at the event.

What to expect from Made by Google 2025

As always, this will probably be a phone-centric show, but that likely won’t be all we see.

Pixel 10

We have a full roundup of Pixel 10 lineup rumors and leaks for your perusal, but I’ll also summarize the key findings here.

Starting with the base Pixel 10, it seems like the basic design of the phones won’t change all that much from the Pixel 9 series. In other words, the Pixel 9a wasn’t a template for the Pixel 10. Under the hood, expect all Pixel 10 phones to use the new in-house Tensor 5 chip, which ideally will deliver better performance than the Tensor 4 in last year’s Pixel phones.

Screen brightness might also be improved, while the biggest change is undoubtedly in the rear camera array. This year’s base Pixel model will allegedly have a third lens, bringing it more in line with previous Pixel Pro models. It might have a 50MP main lens with a 12MP ultrawide lens and a new 10.8MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. That would certainly give the Pixel 10 a leg up on other base model flagships, which typically only have two rear camera lenses.

Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL

It sounds like this year’s Pro models will be incremental improvements over the versions Google launched a year ago.

Per Android Central, their display specs might be unchanged from last year, while they might get bumps in battery size. The Pixel 10 Pro XL, in particular, could have a 5,200mAh battery, which is enormous by contemporary smartphone standards. Google might also drop the 128GB storage option from the 10 Pro XL and bump the starting price of the unit up by $100 accordingly.

Aside from that, it doesn’t seem like much will change in the Pro lineup, including the camera specs, which are rumored to be the same as a year ago. Google could prove us wrong here, of course, but we can only go by what’s been leaked ahead of time.

Last year’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold was my favorite foldable yet. However, Samsung brought the heat with the Galaxy Fold 7 just last week, so the competition is a little stiffer this year. (We should also get a foldable iPhone in the near future.)

It doesn’t seem like there will be major design changes to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which might be disappointing for those who wished for something as razor-thin as the new Galaxy Fold 7. It’ll have three rear camera lenses, just as it did a year ago, though the specs are rumored to be very similar to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Google is said to have bumped the battery size up to at least 5,000mAh, which should hopefully give it some more endurance, as that’s been a regular complaint from Pixel users.

The two biggest rumored changes are less flashy, but not any less important than big, sweeping design overhauls would be. For starters, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold might be the first foldable with a full IP68 waterproof rating. Beyond that, Google is apparently dropping the starting price by $200, down to $1,600. It’s still expensive, but it’s cheaper than the competition.

Pixel Watch 4

Much of what we know about the Pixel Watch 4 seems to be based on leaked renders from back in April, courtesy of OnLeaks.

Judging from the renders (which are not official, of course), the new Pixel Watch could have thinner bezels while sharing the same rounded look as before. It also appears to lack traditional charging pins, which means Google may be emphasizing wireless charging this time around. There’s also the possibility of new buttons on the unit itself, though we have no idea what they would be for at this time, if they even exist.

As usual, the most important changes to the Pixel Watch 4 will largely involve what it can do in terms of health tracking, and it’s hard to get an idea of any of those features based purely on leaked renders. We’ll have to wait a month to find out more.

Pixel Buds

If you hated how vague the Pixel Watch 4 section was, you might want to scroll past this part.

We truly don’t know much about what Google will announce in terms of earbuds at this event, though there have been some very small leaks about the rumored Pixel Buds 2a ahead of time. Mainly, leaker Arsene Lupin published a list of possible colors for the device on X. That…doesn’t really tell us much. We still don’t know anything about their specs or even if they’ll be included at Made by Google.

Still, don’t be surprised if these show up in some form.

Anything else?

As always, leave some room in your mind for surprises. While Made by Google will almost certainly focus on the products listed above, there could be other teases, too.

Namely, Google could follow up on two of its biggest teases from Google I/O earlier this year. The company debuted a new pair of XR smart glasses at the event, and we could hear more about those at Made by Google. Google also gave time for Samsung’s Project Moohan headset at I/O, and it was weirdly absent from Samsung’s Unpacked event last week. Could we see more of Moohan at Made by Google? Maybe, but I wouldn’t call it a certainty.

All will be revealed soon, I suppose.
