With I/O 2024 around the corner, Google is still hard at work showcasing their newest innovations, starting with this new Play Store feature. The program will begin at 10 a.m. PT on Wednesday. You’ll be able to stream it live on the Made by Google YouTube channel. This year’s presentation will be more important than ever! With the Pixel 10 series being the star of the show, let’s look at what we know so far.
We’re expecting at least three models in the Pixel 10 line. These three variations may include the general Pixel 10, the Pixel 10 Pro and finally the Pixel 10 Pro XL. This time, Google will be launching a foldable Pixel running on their Tensor chip—likely the Pixel 10 Pro Fold model. We know that Google is completely dedicated to innovation. Its unique mix of offerings addresses the increasingly fragmented needs of consumers in the smartphone market.
Alongside the new Pixel hardware, attendees can look forward to the first look at the Pixel Watch 4. This smartwatch is expected to incorporate advanced features and improvements over its predecessor, further solidifying Google’s position in the wearable tech space. On top of that, word on the street is that new earbuds will be unveiled, including a long-awaited refreshed version of the Pixel Buds 2a.
The action will again be hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel, a shrewd political observer in addition to his many talents. His participation is sure to attract a broader audience and inject an entertaining flair to the proceedings.
Google has clearly been deepening its focus on the Gemini models ahead of this event. This decision shows the effects of the company’s new strategy to improve performance throughout their comprehensive product range. This is a sign of a larger effort to combine software and hardware more deliberately, and with the end goal of enhancing user experience.
