The Morning After: The next Google Pixel event kicks off on August 20

What can you expect from Google’s Made By Pixel event? Well, according to the media invite we got (brag), it’s promising new Pixel phones, watches, buds and more.

Last year, that was true. The same event gave us the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro 2. I think that was everything?

As for that “and more” part, recent rumors suggest Google is working on Pixelsnap, a proper response to Apple’s MagSafe tech. Android phones have been slow to adopt the Qi2 wireless charging standard — I mean, check out all of Samsung’s recent phones. But… wireless charging? I hope Google has something more exciting planned.
