Summer’s been going by so fast, it’s hard to believe that we’re already down to just two weeks to go until Google’s August 20 event, where we’re expecting to see the company introduce the Pixel 10 series, the Pixel Watch 4, and some new Pixel Buds. As that date keeps creeping up on us, we’re learning more and more about what we’re likely to get. Some of it sounds great, like the full-featured Qi2 magnetic charging support, while we’re a little bummed by other developments, like word that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold might not hit stores until October.
While those are important details, granted, with the event so palpably close even those are starting to feel overshadowed by the tone of general excitement that’s consuming us. After all, this isn’t just about some fresh new hardware — Google is going to want to sell us on the experience these devices deliver, and that’s going to mean showing off new software features, hyping up creative tools, and all the fun and showmanship that a launch like this calls for.
