Mountain View, CA – Google has just announced a “Made by Google” event scheduled for August 13, 2024. This event comes on the heels of Google’s recent AI announcements during their I/O keynote, hinting at a potential showdown with Apple, known for hosting September Special Events to unveil new hardware.

The invite for the event teases a showcase of the best of Google AI, Android software, and the Pixel portfolio of devices. Speculation is rife about what this could entail, from significant Pixel feature updates to new AI innovations in response to competitors like Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT.

In the past, Google has typically launched new Pixel hardware in October, with recent releases including the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel Watch 2, and the mid-range Pixel 8a. However, this event in August suggests a deviation from their usual timeline.

Looking ahead to 2024, Google is rumored to unveil the Pixel Fold 2, Pixel Watch 3, Pixel 9, and Pixel 9 Pro. There is also anticipation for possible updates to devices like Pixel Buds and a Google-built item tracker compatible with the Find My Device network.

The Made by Google event will take place at Google’s campus in Mountain View, CA, offering attendees a hands-on experience with the newly announced products. This shift in schedule to August may be a strategic move by Google to preempt hardware leaks, a common occurrence in the tech industry.

With Techtember and Techtober potentially turning into ‘Techgust’ this year, TechRadar will be present to cover all the developments. The event promises an exciting showcase of Google’s latest innovations, setting the stage for a competitive season of tech releases.
