With Apple, Samsung, Microsoft and Amazon already having had their fall announcement events this year, Google’s hardware keynote is ostensibly the last major launch of 2023. The company more or less told us what it would unveil today, teasing us with trailers of the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Watch 2.
The show kicked off on October 4 at 10AM ET, and so far we’ve covered the release of the Pixel 8 series, including the Pro, Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Buds Pro, and new AI features. Below, find a complete list of all the stories we published from the event, including early hands-on impressions with both new Pixel phones and the Pixel Watch 2.
