Made by Google 2024: What to expect
Things are pretty interesting with loads of hardware expected to be unveiled during the event.

The Pixel 9 Pro is expected to come with a 6.3-inch display, providing you with an option for a more compact flagship phone. It is rumored to come with 16 gigs of RAM for all these sweet generative AI features, up to 512GB of storage, a redesigned triple-camera system with a 48MP telephoto lens, and a 42MP selfie camera.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL will be a bigger phone for those of you who'd like more screen and Pro features. According to some rumors, it will come with a huge 6.9-inch screen, while other rumors are more conservative and place it in the 6.5-6.7-inch category. Specs for the 9 Pro XL should be the same as the 9 Pro, with probably a difference in battery size.
Google's second foldable phone will come at the event as well, and it's expected to be called the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. This is the successor of the Pixel Fold, but this time, included in the 9 series, which suggests it may come with the same chip as the 9 phones. The foldable is expected to come with a slight redesign as well, a smaller crease (hopefully), and a more elegant look overall.
Google's teasers for the event focus heavily on AI and the generative AI features that the Pixel 9 series will rock. So, it's only natural to expect that the event will grant some spotlight time to Gemini and Google's AI solutions.
During the Google I/O developer conference, we learned that Google plans to integrate AI more with Android 15 - and maybe we're going to see the end of Google Assistant, to be replaced by Gemini.
Google's event is also most likely going to include the next-gen Pixel Watch models. This year, we are going to see a 41mm version and a bigger, 45mm version that was earlier expected to be called Pixel Watch 3 XL.
We're going to get a brighter display for the Pixel Watch 3, a new battery-saver mode, and faster charging.
Reportedly, there will be a tweak in the design for the phones as well. Judging by Google's own teasers, we're seeing flat edges on the Pro, a better-looking camera bar, and an overall more polished aesthetic.

The Pixel Buds Pro have been without a successor for two years, and now rumors and leaks state we're going to see the Pixel Buds Pro 2 unveiled during the event.
According to leaks, we expect new Aloe and Hot Pink variants to match the new Pixel 9 colors. Rumors suggest we'll see a $30 price hike as the earbuds are expected to cost $229. As for the audio improvements we might get, things are still under wraps for now.
