The Made by Google event is set to take place on August 12, and with it should come the reveal of Google's next wave of smartphones and wearables.The Pixel 11 series is set to be the star of the event, and as usual those four phones are expected to arrive alongside a new wearable in the Pixel Watch 5. But they might not be the only new products on the agenda, thanks to rumors of a Pixel Tag tracker. There's also the possibility that we may hear more about Android XR glasses, new Pixel Buds, and the still-unreleased Googlebook.Here's what you need to know about Made by Google 2026.How to watch Made by Google
(Image credit: Google)Made by Google is scheduled to take place on August 12, starting at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. BST. The event itself will be taking place in New York, but you'll be able to tune in yourself and watch the whole thing live. Hopefully it's better than last year's event, which was a bizarre take on the talk show format with host Jimmy Fallon.The live stream isn't actually live yet, but you'll be able to watch everything on the Made by Google YouTube page. We will be embedding the video as soon as it's available, so be sure to check back later to watch the event as it unfolds. Or, alternatively, you can add a reminder from the Google Store, so you don't accidentally miss out.Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro Fold(Image credit: Google)The Pixel 10 offered some pretty substantial upgrades last year, and that means we shouldn't expect a similar leap to the Pixel 11. So expect the same horizontal triple-lens camera bar, rounded corners and all those design details that make the Pixel 11 what it is.The same is looking to be true of the Pixel 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and means all three phones will presumably come with the usual array of incremental upgrades like the Tensor G6 chipset and token camera improvements. Sadly, leaks suggest that battery capacity may be declining, which doesn't bode well for the battery life of this year's models.Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.The main change is expected to be the new Pixel Glow feature, which adds multi-colored notification alerts to the back of your phone. Fellow temperature-sensor critics will also be glad to hear that it appears to have vanished, with no sign of the silver sensor on the back of leaked Pixel 11 Pro renders.The price is also expected to go up by around $100 per phone, which is sadly pretty standard news for new phones nowadays. The good news is that the rumors claim Google will also be doubling base storage to 256GB on the Pixel 11 and 11 Pro, which means those buying the cheaper handsets at least get something out of it.Pixel Watch 5
