Google’s Pixel event set for August 12 | TechCrunch

Brief

Google is gearing up for its Made by Google launch event, scheduled for August 12 in New York, as announced Tuesday.

We hope that this event will be less worthy of the name than last year’s, which featured Jimmy Fallon and other celebrities, including Stephen Curry and the Jonas Brothers.

There are plenty of rumors circulating about the upcoming Pixel 11 lineup. According to email invites shared by media outlets like The Verge and Bloomberg, the new devices are expected to feature design improvements, including a new gold color variant for the Pixel 11.

Other leaks suggest the base Pixel 11 could feature thinner bezels and a sleek black camera bar, while the Pixel 11 Pro is rumor be slightly thinner than its predecessor. Additionally, there is speculation about the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which could have a redesigned camera bump and a lighter profile compared to the previous model.

On a negative note, a report suggests Google could skip the 128GB option for new models, starting with 256GB, which could result in a higher price.

Last year the event took place on August 20, where Google announcement the Pixel 10 series, AI-driven upgrades, and other devices, including a new foldable, the Pixel Watch 4, and the second generation of its budget A-series earbuds.
