Google’s Made by Google event has arrived, and with it comes a full hardware refresh that spans phones, a smartwatch, and an item tracker. The company unveiled four new Pixel 11 devices, the Pixel Watch 5, the long-rumored Pixel Tag, and a slate of Gemini AI features designed to make the ecosystem more proactive and helpful.

Pixel 11 Lineup at a Glance

The new Pixel 11 family includes the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. All four phones share a redesigned camera bar that uses edge-to-edge glass flowing into a metal frame, matching the visual language of Google’s other hardware, from chargers to cases to the Pixel Watch.

Under the hood, Google’s Tensor G6 chip delivers a 50 percent increase in TPU compute, which the company says translates to faster computational photography, quicker Night Sight captures, and more responsive on-device AI. A new Titan M3 security coprocessor adds post-quantum cryptography and meets the same certification standard used for SIM cards and bank cards.

Display brightness gets a significant upgrade across the lineup. The standard Pixel 11 features a 3,000-nit Actua panel. The Pro and Pro XL step up to a 3,600-nit Super Actua display that Google describes as 9 percent brighter and over twice as scratch-resistant as the previous generation. The Pro Fold’s internal screen is rated 20 percent brighter than its predecessor.

Every phone in the series now starts at 256GB of storage, eliminating the 128GB base option from last year. All four devices also receive seven years of OS, security, and Pixel Drop updates, matching Google’s extended support promise from recent generations.

Features are split by tier. HiLight, a new ambient light built into the camera flash, is exclusive to the Pro models. Zoom capability also varies: the Pro and Pro XL offer Pro Zoom up to 120x, while the Pixel 11 and Pro Fold top out at 30x Super Zoom.

Shared software features include Magic Capture, a one-swipe mode that captures both a share-ready photo and video at the same time, as well as Camera Looks for custom film-style presets. Gemini Intelligence is positioned as a defining feature of the generation, with the ability to surface information from apps, draft messages, and, in the U.S., handle routine tasks like ordering groceries or booking a ride.

Prices increase across the board:

• Pixel 11 — $899
• Pixel 11 Pro — $1,099
• Pixel 11 Pro XL — $1,299
• Pixel 11 Pro Fold — $1,899

Pixel Watch 5

Google’s smartwatch update leans heavily into health tracking. The Pixel Watch 5 can track blood pressure patterns and insulin resistance trends over time, alongside continued AFib detection, stress tracking, and SpO2/breathing-rate monitoring. All of this data is viewable in the Google Health app.

Fitness gets what Google calls its biggest upgrade yet. A pre-workout Readiness Score helps you decide when to push hard. Custom strength and HIIT circuits can be built in the Google Health app. Real-time audio and visual coaching cues appear during workouts, and dual-frequency GPS maintains a better lock in dense urban environments. A new Key Metrics view is included for post-workout review.

Sleep tracking also expands with a new Sleep Breathing Quality metric that analyzes overnight blood oxygen saturation variability. Existing sleep-stage tracking, Smart Wake Alarms, and a redesigned Morning Brief round out the sleep experience. The Morning Brief summarizes readiness, sleep, and weather in a single view.

Google is introducing the Google Health Coach, a Gemini-powered coaching feature available through Google Health Premium. It builds adaptive fitness plans and provides ongoing feedback based on sleep, fitness, and cycle health data. Buyers get three months of Google Health Premium at no cost. It is also automatically bundled with Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscriptions.

On hardware, the Pixel Watch 5 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 “Accelerated” chip that Google says is 20% faster than the previous generation. The Actua 360 display uses scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass. Battery life is rated up to 30 hours for the 41mm model and 40 hours for the 45mm model. A new Quick Charge Dock delivers 15 hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Google also confirmed a Special Edition made with Stephen Curry, featuring an exclusive band and custom watch face.

• Up to 30-hour (41mm) or 40-hour (45mm) battery life
• 15 hours of use from a 15-minute Quick Charge Dock session
• IP68 and 5 ATM water resistance

Gemini Intelligence

Google is positioning Gemini Intelligence as one of the defining features of this Pixel generation. The phones are more “agentic” than ever. Gemini can proactively surface information from a person’s apps, such as calendar availability when a friend texts asking if they are free. In a U.S.-only feature, users can hand off routine errands like ordering groceries or booking a ride directly to Gemini.

Google also described a feature that lets Gemini place phone calls to businesses on a user’s behalf, with a live transcript the person can watch and take over at any time. On the input side, new voice-to-text tools can clean up spoken messages in real time. Writing assistance tools can read what’s on screen to help draft or rewrite replies in a person’s own style.

Google highlighted an accessibility-focused use of the same underlying technology: a new sign-language translation tool built into the Pixel Camera and Gboard. It converts sign language into text in real time, helping deaf and hard-of-hearing users communicate with people who do not know sign language. A redesigned Live Transcribe interface is also included.

Buyers of any Pro or Fold model get six months of Google AI Pro at no cost, a $119 value according to Google. That includes expanded Gemini usage, 5TB of cloud storage, and Google Health Premium.

Pixel Tag

Google confirmed its long-rumored item tracker, the Pixel Tag. It works through the Find Hub network on Android 9 and up. Pair it, give it a name, and share access with up to 10 people.

Lost items show up on a map in the Find Hub app. If the tag is nearby, you can trigger its built-in speaker to help track it down. The Pixel Tag uses Ultra-Wideband with Bluetooth Channel Sounding for more precise location data, so a tag tucked into a bag or under furniture is still findable.

If the tag wanders out of Bluetooth range entirely, Find Hub can lean on Google’s broader network of Android devices — over a billion of them, according to Google — to help locate it. The tag also alerts you if you leave an item behind or if an unfamiliar tag turns up traveling with you. The hardware is stainless steel, under two inches long, and rated for about a year of battery life.

The Pixel Tag is priced at $29 individually or $99 for a four-pack, with a Nov. 11 release date.
