The Pixel 10 finally made its grand entrance at Made by Google 2025, delivering more than just hardware. Google traded dry product demos for a Jimmy Fallon-hosted talk show format packed with energy, celebrity cameos, and plenty of unexpected moments. Between the jokes and applause, Google rolled out a wave of devices—from new Pixels to foldables, earbuds, watches, and Gemini-driven AI tricks that aren’t just hype.
Pixel 10 lineup sharpens up with key upgrades
Google’s new flagship phones—the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL—keep their familiar frame, but the internals got a major boost. Each model runs on the new Tensor G5 chip, promising stronger performance and smarter battery use.
The biggest surprise? The base Pixel 10 now includes a dedicated telephoto lens hidden in the camera bar, offering 5x optical zoom—something that used to be Pro-only. Preorders are already live, and phones ship August 28.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold is heavier, tougher, and dust-proof
Foldables used to panic at the sight of sand. Not anymore. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is fully IP68-rated, meaning it’s sealed against dust and water—no more hinge paranoia. It’s thicker than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, but it packs a larger 5,015mAh battery and undercuts the competition by $200.
It won’t arrive until October 9, but preorders are open now.
Pixel Watch 4 adds health backup and Gemini brains
Pixel Watch 4 doesn’t just log steps—it calls emergency services if you lose your pulse. It also supports emergency satellite texting, catches unlogged workouts, and comes in two sizes with Gemini AI onboard. That means no repeating yourself, no robotic voice, and smarter context when you speak.
Like the Fold, this one lands October 9.
Pixel Buds 2A skip the fluff, keep the good stuff
The new Pixel Buds 2A land at $130 and strip back just enough to stay light and affordable. They’ve got active noise cancellation, a twist-to-fit stabilizer, and ditch extras like wireless charging and spatial audio. The upside? They’re lighter, and the case battery is actually replaceable.
What Google dropped on stage at Made by Google 2025
- Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL with Tensor G5
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold with IP68 durability
- Pixel Watch 4 with emergency pulse detection
- Pixel Buds 2A: budget earbuds with ANC
- Pixelsnap magnetic charging with Qi2
- Camera Coach: AI tips for better shots
- Gemini real-time translation in phone calls
- Magic Cue: Gemini pulls flight and event info from your device
Camera Coach and Pro Res Zoom change how you shoot
Camera Coach is built into the Pixel Camera app and offers live suggestions before you even tap the shutter. It tells you to move closer, reframe, adjust eye level—basically doing the job your best friend keeps failing at. Jimmy Fallon got a live demo from Alex Cooper, and yes, the AI gave better posing advice than most humans ever will.
As for Pro Res Zoom? It kicks in after 30x and uses generative AI to sharpen details all the way up to 100x. Sometimes it nails it. Sometimes it turns planes into weird stick bundles. Either way, it’s pushing the boundaries of phone photography.
Gemini AI shows off, but keeps more in the vault
Magic Cue is real—and it’s already on Pixel 10. It pulls useful info from messages and emails without uploading anything to the cloud. Need flight details or dinner times? They surface like magic. But the bigger stuff, like letting Gemini plan a 12-person celebration complete with karaoke and custom shirts? That’s still loading.
According to Google’s Rick Osterloh, it’ll be usable “sooner than people think.”
Pixelsnap goes magnetic, but forget you heard the word MagSafe
Qi2 magnetic charging is here, and Google calls it Pixelsnap. It offers snap-on accessories and faster wireless charging—sound familiar? Presenters almost said the quiet part out loud, name-dropping Apple’s MagSafe before catching themselves mid-sentence. But make no mistake, the Pixel 10 now plays in that space.
Pixel 10 hits Mexico, and speaks your language
To close out the show, singer Karen Polinesia announced, via live-translated Gemini call, that the Pixel 10 will be available in Mexico from day one. It’s a first for the region, and the real-time demo made one thing clear: Gemini’s not just a headline—it’s already working.
The message was clear under all the fun: Google’s got hardware, software, and AI that actually speak the same language. Pixel isn’t just smarter this year. It’s ready to take the spotlight—and hold it.
