Pixel 10 launch live – last-minute rumors ahead of today's Made by Google event

The next Made by Google event, where the search giant shows off its latest hardware, will take place today (August 20) at 10pm PT / 1pm ET and 6pm UK time, and 3am on August 21 in Australia.

At the showcase, we expect announcements of the Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4 and the Pixel Buds 2a, going by the rumors and tidbits of information we've seen. And that should mean a bumper product refresh for Google, and very likely a whole lot of artificial intelligence features added into the mix, as the search giant builds out its consumer-grade AI tools.

So let's get into it: below I'll go over all the rumors and last-minute news so far, along with what we expect, and once the showcase kicks off, TechRadar will be live reporting on the event.

Going by a rather last-minute rumor, it looks like magnetic accessories will be a big part of the Pixel 10 lineup, with an Apple MagSafe-style system facilitating a magnetic charging stand for the phones.

I currently use a Pixel Stand from 2021 to charge my phones that support wireless charging, so an upgrade here would be much appreciated, especially if it enables a wider range of accessories ot be used with the new Pixel phones.

Expect to see four new Pixel phones today: the Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. This will be a refresh of the whole main Google Pixel phone lineup.

Don't expect any drastic design changes, at least going by the rumors, but I do expect to see new Tensor chips, perhaps some improvements on the camera side such as new sensors, and a big injection of AI software upgrades.

If all the rumors I've seen so far prove to be true, then we could be looking at a big showcase for Google later on today, with new phones, a new Pixel Watch and new earbuds.

And I'll buy a hat and eat it if Google doesn't spend a good amount of time discussing what it's been doing on the AI side for its Pixel devices.
