How to watch today's Google Pixel 11 launch event live — and what announcements to expect

The next Made by Google event kicks off soon and we're likely to see new Pixel phones and watches among other things. Here's how to tune in.

How to watch today's Google Pixel 11 launch event live — and what announcements to expect

Google is set to unveil its latest Pixel devices and other hardware innovations during the Made by Google event in New York today. The launch will take place starting at 3pm PT / 6pm ET / 11pm BST, which falls at 8am AEST on August 13 for Australian viewers. This event can be watched live on YouTube or by watching the embedded video on the event page, and viewers can enable notifications to be alerted when the launch begins.

Expectations for the Pixel 11 series include the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. These devices may feature a new 'HiLight' or 'Pixel Glow' functionality, which uses colored lights on the back to indicate notifications or interaction with the Gemini AI. Additionally, the Pixel 11 series might be powered by the Tensor G6 chipset and include a 120x camera zoom, an improvement over the 100x zoom on the Pixel 10 Pro series.

Apart from the phones, Google is also expected to announce the Pixel Watch 5, which could boast double the storage at 64GB and 50% more RAM at 3GB compared to the current Pixel Watch 4. The watch may also feature a slightly improved battery, but will continue to use the Snapdragon Wear W5 Gen 2 chipset. Furthermore, Google may unveil the Pixel Tag, the company's first AirTag competitor, as well as potential details about upcoming Android XR glasses and the long-awaited Gemini 3.5 Pro model.
