All 7 New Products Launched at Made By Google Event

Google has officially wrapped up its Made by Google event, and we finally know what the company has been working on this year. The event brought a new Pixel 11 lineup, the Pixel Watch 5, and a few other interesting additions to Google’s hardware lineup. So, if you missed the event or simply want to know what Google announced, we’ve rounded up everything announced at the Google Pixel 11 launch event right here.

Google Pixel 11 Series: Everything You Need to Know

Google’s biggest announcement at the event is the Google Pixel 11 series, and it includes four models: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. If you’ve been following Pixel phones, you’ll notice the design feels familiar, but the real changes are happening inside.

1. New Tensor G6 Processor

All four phones in the Google Pixel 11 series run on the new Tensor G6 chipset. It’s built on TSMC’s 2nm process, and Google is clearly pushing harder on performance, efficiency, and on-device AI this time. This year’s CPU could see a massive 80% boost compared to the G5, based on early benchmark tests. It goes without saying that sort of year-over-year improvement would be wildly impressive

You also get a PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536 modem this time, which is expected to give a major boost in performance of more than 50% compared to its predecessor. This is something Pixel users have complained about in the past. But honestly, it’s still way behind the flagship Snapdragon and Apple processors. But in average day-to-day work, I think it will be pretty improved. Let’s see if it still becomes an iron for clothes after heavy usage or not in real-life testing.

2. Google Pixel 11

Let’s start with the base model in the Google Pixel 11 series. The Pixel 11 comes with a 6.3-inch 120Hz OLED display and a 50MP main camera. It still looks like a Pixel, but Google has slightly cleaned up the camera bar to make it more uniform.

What I like here is that Google is giving you more right out of the box. You now get 256GB of base storage instead of 128GB. That’s a nice upgrade if you take a lot of photos or videos. The battery sits at around 4,985mAh, and the selfie camera is expected to be 13MP.

You also get up to 30x zoom, which makes the Google Pixel 11 series more capable for casual photography without needing the Pro models.

3. Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL

Now, if you want more power, you’ll look at the Pro models in the Google Pixel 11 series. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are very similar, so your choice mostly comes down to size.

The Pixel 11 Pro has a 6.3-inch 120Hz OLED display, while the Pro XL steps up to a larger 6.8-inch screen. Both phones also bring a much stronger telephoto setup with up to 120x zoom, which is honestly wild for a smartphone.

Storage starts at 256GB on both models, so you’re not stuck with lower options. However, there’s a small change in RAM this year. Some variants may start at 12GB instead of 16GB. On paper, that sounds like a downgrade, but Google says Android 17 is heavily optimised, so real-world performance should still feel smooth.

If you’re considering the Google Pixel 11 series, these two models are where you’ll see the biggest jump in camera and display experience.

4. Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold

The Google Pixel 11 series also includes a foldable, and it’s called the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. It comes with an 8-inch inner display and a 48MP main camera system. It also runs on the same Tensor G6 chip as the rest of the lineup.

Google has made it slightly thinner this time, but it’s not trying to completely reinvent the foldable design. Instead, it feels like a refined version of what we’ve already seen.

The battery is 4,806mAh, a downgrade from the previous year’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s 5,015mAh battery. This model will launch a bit later than the rest of the Google Pixel 11 series lineup.

One of the most interesting additions in the Google Pixel 11 series is something called Pixel Glow, or HiLight. It’s basically an RGB LED system around the camera bar that lights up in different colours.

You can use it for notifications, alerts, and even updates. Google also showed it reacting when you interact with Gemini, which feels like a fun little touch. It can even show different colours for specific contacts when they call you.

It’s not a major hardware upgrade, but I like that Google added something visually different. From starting Google has focused more on the software than the external parts. So this might add up as a new spice to the Pixel 11, something like Nothing does with their phones.

5. Google Pixel Watch 5

Google also announced the Pixel Watch 5, and it’s a lot more focused on AI, health, and fitness this time. The watch comes in 41mm and 45mm sizes, with the larger model offering faster processing than the smaller one.

One of the biggest additions is Gemini Intelligence. The Pixel Watch 5 can handle several actions directly on the watch with low latency, even when you don’t have an internet connection. Google is also adding Proactive Suggestions, which can understand the context of your conversations and suggest replies or useful information without you having to ask every time.

The Pixel Watch 5 also gets offline Gemini, so you can use some AI features directly from your wrist. I think this is one of the more useful additions because you don’t always want to pull out your phone just to get a quick answer or perform a simple task. The pricing starts at Rs 42,900, which is 3k more than last year’s Pixel Watch 4.

Better Health and Fitness Tracking

Google has also made some serious changes to health and fitness tracking. The Pixel Watch 5 gets Google’s most accurate sleep tracking yet, along with a new Smart Wake feature that can wake you at a better point in your sleep cycle. Google says Smart Wake is now 15% more accurate.

The watch can also track sleep breathing quality, while Health Guardian adds features such as blood pressure trends and insulin resistance insights. There’s also a new strength training mode to help you track workouts more easily.

For runners and outdoor activities, Google claims the Pixel Watch 5 has its most accurate GPS route tracking yet, even outperforming the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Garmin Fenix 8 Pro in its testing. It combines GPS signals with a global network of GNSS reference stations to account for errors caused by atmospheric conditions.

Faster Performance and New Features

The Pixel Watch 5 is also faster than before. Google says the 45mm model is around 20% faster than the Pixel Watch 4, while the 41mm version gets a 12% CPU performance boost.

You also get features like one-handed gesture controls, generative watch faces, improved complications, and better at-a-glance information. The watch is also designed to be more repairable, which is a welcome change if you plan to keep it for several years.

Google is offering the Pixel Watch 5 in new colours, including Canyon Fog and Olive, along with new band options. The watch keeps the familiar Pixel Watch design, but these smaller changes make it feel like a more complete upgrade.

The Pixel Watch 5 also doubles the internal storage to 64GB, while battery life remains rated at around 30 hours for the 41mm model and 40 hours for the 45mm model. It runs Wear OS 7 out of the box.

6. Google Pixel Tag

Google finally entered the item-tracking space with the Pixel Tag, its answer to products like Apple’s AirTag. The small tracker is designed to help you find lost items and is expected to work with Google’s Find Hub network, allowing nearby Android devices to help locate your belongings.

The Pixel Tag has a more oval design instead of the circular shape we’re used to seeing from Apple. It also carries Google’s familiar G logo, which we have seen on other devices as well.

Google is clearly trying to make the Pixel ecosystem more complete here. If you already use a Pixel phone, having a small tracker that works directly with Find Hub could be a pretty useful addition.

7. Pixel Buds Pro 2 Gets a New Colour

Google didn’t introduce an entirely new pair of flagship earbuds at the event. Instead, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 got a new colour option to match the latest Pixel lineup. Why Google?

The new shade has an olive-green look, while the earbuds themselves remain the same as the existing Pixel Buds Pro 2. So, if you were waiting for a Pixel Buds Pro 3, you’ll have to wait a little longer.

It’s a small announcement, but it makes sense alongside the new Pixel phones. Google has previously used Pixel Buds colours to match its phones, and this new option gives Pixel fans another way to keep their accessories looking consistent.

Google also didn’t bring its upcoming Googlebook laptops or smart glasses to the event. Both products are still expected to arrive later, so there was no major hardware reveal for them this time.

That’s probably a good thing. Google already had plenty to talk about with the Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 5, and I’d rather see the company give these new categories their own proper launch when they’re ready.

Our Thoughts on the Google 2026 Launch Event

I think Google played it a little safe with this year’s Pixel launch, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The Google Pixel 11 series still brings some meaningful upgrades, especially the Tensor G6 chip, better AI features, and the new Pixel Glow addition.

What I found more interesting is that Google is slowly making the Pixel ecosystem feel more complete. The Pixel Watch 5 gets smarter AI features, while the Pixel Tag gives Pixel users another useful accessory to consider. I also like that Google is trying something different with Pixel Glow instead of simply making another phone that looks like every other flagship.

The biggest concern for me is the pricing. With the Google Pixel 11 series getting more expensive, Google will have a tougher time convincing Pixel 10 users to upgrade. But if you’re coming from an older Pixel or want a clean Android experience with strong cameras and AI features, the new lineup still looks pretty compelling.

So, that’s it for the 7 big announcements in the Google Pixel Launch Event. Overall, I think it may not have been the most dramatic Pixel launch, but there’s enough here to make the new Pixel ecosystem worth paying attention to.
