About this episode

Today's episodes is a rundown on all the key the announcements and moments from the 2024 Made by Google event, including a few on stage hiccups.

Google introduced its latest Pixel 9 series, with Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, all of which are powered by the new Tensor G4 chip. Artificial intelligence was a major focus of the event, with Google highlighting its Gemini AI and its integration across the Android ecosystem.

The event also spotlighted Google's advancements in wearable technology. The company unveiled the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro 2, both of which offer significant improvements in health tracking and audio quality.

Google's new Pixel devices may face a critical market test following the Department of Justice's ruling that the company holds a search engine monopoly. This antitrust decision could affect Google's arrangement with Apple for Safari's default search engine, and may make the success of Pixel devices even more crucial to Google's mobile strategy.
