Google is locking in a late-summer spotlight for its next wave of hardware. The company will unveil the Pixel 10 lineup alongside the Pixel Watch 4 and the new Pixel Buds 2a during a Made by Google livestream on Wednesday, August 20, 2025. US fans can watch the keynote free on YouTube, with a start time of 1 PM Eastern / 10 AM Pacific. Expect a fast, product-packed presentation that leans into Google’s on-device AI story and tight integration across phones, wearables, and audio.
How to watch event
The event will stream on Google’s official Made by Google YouTube channel. Head there ahead of showtime to set a reminder, then return a few minutes early on August 20 to catch the pre‑roll and any last minute teasers. If you miss it live, the full keynote typically becomes available as an on‑demand replay shortly after the broadcast ends. The start time is 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT, which should make it easy to tune in during lunch on the East Coast or mid‑morning on the West Coast.
For big screen viewing, open the YouTube app on a smart TV, Chromecast, Apple TV, or a game console and search for “Made by Google.” You can also cast from a phone to a TV if you prefer to watch from the couch.
What to expect from the Pixel 10 series
Google’s headline act will be the Pixel 10 family, which is widely expected to include the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, a larger Pixel 10 Pro XL, and a book style Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Reports indicate Google will continue its clean, camera‑bar design while pushing bigger gains under the hood, driven by a next‑gen Tensor chip built with TSMC that emphasizes local AI performance and improved efficiency. If Google follows recent playbooks, look for deep integrations with Gemini features and on device processing for voice, imaging, and smart‑assistant tasks.
Camera hardware is rumored to get meaningful attention again. Expect high‑resolution sensors on the Pro models, with talk of refined telephoto capability across the range. There is also chatter about small dimensional tweaks—slightly thicker frames, flatter displays—and a potential expansion of telephoto options on the base model compared with last year’s lineup. As always with Pixel, Google’s computational photography will be the story to watch once sample shots land.
Pixel Watch 4 – bigger battery and new health tools
Alongside the phones, the Pixel Watch 4 is slated to debut with two sizes that mirror last year’s approach and slimmer bezels for a more immersive look. Early reporting points to a larger battery, faster charging, and tight Fitbit integration on Wear OS 6, plus potential new health and fitness features that lean on Google’s AI stack. If accurate, these updates would address two of the biggest asks from current Pixel Watch owners endurance and speed while keeping Google’s minimalist, domed‑glass aesthetic intact.
Pixel Buds 2a – affordable wireless audio
Google is also set to announce the Pixel Buds 2a, a more affordable wireless earbud option designed to bring Pixel-quality sound to a wider audience. These buds are expected to retain a compact, comfortable fit while offering strong core features like custom-tuned drivers, clear voice pickup for calls, and Google Assistant integration.
While they may not have the advanced active noise cancellation found in the Pixel Buds Pro line, they are likely to support adaptive sound modes and multipoint pairing, making them an appealing choice for users who want reliable earbuds without a premium price tag.
Accessories and a new magnetic charging story
Do not be surprised if Google rounds out the show with audio and charging news. An A‑series Pixel Buds 2a has been tipped, aimed at a lower price point than the Buds Pro line, and there is growing buzz about a magnetic accessory ecosystem internally referenced as “Pixelsnap” to enable true Qi2‑class wireless charging on Pixel 10 models. If Google embraces magnets and a standardized alignment system, expect a wave of compatible wallets, stands, and battery packs to follow.
Pricing and preorder expectations
While final pricing will be revealed on stage, industry chatter suggests the Pixel 10 will start around $799, the Pixel 10 Pro at $999, and the Pixel Watch 4 at $349 for Wi-Fi or $399 for LTE. The Pixel Buds 2a could land in the $99 to $129 range, positioning them as a strong mid-tier option in Google’s audio lineup.
Preorders for all announced devices are expected to open immediately after the keynote, with US shipping starting before the end of August.
This year’s Made by Google event is a pivotal moment for the company’s hardware ambitions. With the Pixel 10 series aiming to push AI-first performance, the Pixel Watch 4 tackling battery life and health tracking, and the Pixel Buds 2a bringing budget-friendly audio to the ecosystem, Google is making a coordinated play to strengthen its position in the US market.
For Android fans, August 20 will be the date to watch for the most complete look yet at Google’s vision for an integrated hardware and AI future.
