Here's what you missed at Google's big event that included new phones, watches, earbuds, Gemini AI features and numerous celebrity cameos.

However, I grilled Samsung for coasting with the Galaxy S25 series. And if I were being fair, I’d have to do the same with Google — but I won’t. Both companies have a similar sales pitch: software is the reason you’ll want to upgrade. But while Samsung let me down with Galaxy AI, Google’s done the opposite with Gemini.

At its product event on Wednesday, Google announced new hardware, which includes the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, as well as the Pixel Watch 4 and the Pixel Buds 2a.

Google Pixel 10 Pro uses AI-powered diffusion to enhance zoom photos, but is it sharpening or hallucinating detail? Here's what you need to know.

Google’s Pixel 10 phones, to be released Aug. 28, have AI features that can help you take better photos and edit images in response to text or voice commands.

One of the more exciting live demos was the Google Pixel 10's new Voice Translate feature, which translates conversations in real-time. Fallon and Polinesia held a live conversation where Fallon spoke in English and Polinesia spoke in Spanish, and the Pixel 10 translated the conversation, matching their voices and tones.

But now comes the real question: does anybody care?

If leaked benchmark scores prove to be accurate, the Pixel 10 Pro XL will score about as high as the iPhone 13 models that Apple released in 2021.
