Made By Google 2026 Live Blog: Get Ready For the Pixel 11
Every year, Google holds the Made By Google event, where the company reveals its flagship mobile hardware for the next year. This time around, we already know the Pixel 11 is going to be there, but there are sure to be a few surprises up Google's sleeve.
Every year, Google unveils its latest Pixel phones in August, and this time, the anticipation is for the Pixel 11. Google's webpage has already hinted at preorders going live later today. Nevertheless, it's not just a single device we'll see. Rather, a diverse lineup of phones is expected, including updates to the regular Pixel models, along with the Pixel 11 Fold, which will directly compete with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and the Razr Fold, both recent entrants to the market.
The main challenge will be the price point, as costs seem to be on the rise across the board, with phones included. I will keep this page updated with all announcements throughout the event. How to watch Made By Google 2026: You can tune into Made By Google on the Made For Google YouTube channel, which will commence at 6pm EST / 3PM PST.
It is projected to last around an hour, packed with content. Google hinted at the event last week, featuring appearances from actress Ayami Nakajo and athlete Stephen Curry, and it will be hosted by Trevor Noah, marking a departure from the often formal tech executive presentations. What to expect: As with previous events, Google will introduce its upcoming phones.
Expect the Pixel 11, the Pixel 11 Pro, and the Pixel 11 Fold, but Google will also showcase at least one smartwatch. Regardless of the hardware, AI, particularly Gemini, is expected to be a recurring theme throughout the presentation. The Pixel 11 will likely sport at least one or two new AI features. Made By Google 2026 Live Blog (All times in EST) 12:30 pm: It appears the rumors about HiLight are true.
The Pixel 11 Pro features a light next to the camera that will alert you when a favorite contact is calling or when you are conversing with Gemini. While Google will provide more details on how this feature works during the presentation, it seems reminiscent of the small extra screen on the LG V10 a decade ago. It may seem like a minor addition, but it could prove incredibly useful, especially when your phone is face down on a table during social interactions.
