Google just turned the “Made by Google” event into a full-blown show and I have to say I am here for it. On August 20, Jimmy Fallon hosted the event with NBA star Stephen Curry, F1 driver Lando Norris, and the Jonas Brothers in attendance. It was more than a celebrity parade. Google made it clear these devices are meant to be part of your lifestyle, not just another gadget.
Pixel 10 Series: Smarter Than Your Average Phone
The Pixel 10 lineup includes the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold. Google is doubling down on AI in every corner of the phone. Powered by the Tensor G5 chip and Gemini Nano AI, these phones are packed with features that feel almost futuristic.
-
Magic Cue: This feature gives you information before you even realize you need it. Calls, messages, reminders, everything becomes a little smoother.
-
Camera Coach: Think of it as a personal photography tutor. It guides you in real time so every shot looks professional.
-
Pro Res Zoom: The 100x zoom with AI enhancement is impressive. You could get a high-definition look at details far away.
Running Android 16 with the Material 3 Expressive UI, the Pixel 10 feels polished, intuitive, and a little fun to use.
Pixel Watch 4: AI on Your Wrist
The Pixel Watch 4 shows Google is serious about making wearable tech smarter. Gemini Nano integration makes it feel like your watch can think along with you. The new Actua 360 AMOLED display is brighter and sleeker. Battery life reaches 40 hours and there is fast charging. Emergency satellite SOS adds another layer of safety. This watch wants to do more than track your steps. It wants to be useful every moment you wear it.
Celebrities Meet Tech
Google used the event to show the devices in action. Stephen Curry demonstrated the Pixel 10 capturing fast-moving shots. Lando Norris pushed the phone’s performance in high-speed scenarios. The Jonas Brothers premiered a music video shot entirely on the Pixel 10 Pro. It was clever marketing and also inspiring. It shows the devices can fuel creativity if you let them.
Bottom Line
The Pixel 10 series and Pixel Watch 4 are about more than just hardware. They are about integrating AI into your everyday life while keeping things intuitive and fun. Preorders are open now and official releases are set for October 9, 2025. If you want your tech to work with you instead of just for you, these devices make a strong case.
