The wait is nearly over, as we finally have a confirmed reveal date for the Google Pixel 10 lineup of smartphones. Google will host the Made by Google Pixel 10 launch event at 1 p.m. ET on Aug. 20. And to lend some star power to the livestream, the company has tapped celebrities like Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Curry, and Lando Norris.

Google has all but confirmed that we'll see the new Pixel 10 series of phones (and more) tomorrow. You can watch the event live as it happens, and we fully expect to see the following Pixel devices launched:

• Pixel 10

• Pixel 10 Pro

• Pixel 10 Pro XL

• Pixel 10 Pro Fold

• Pixel Watch 4

• Pixel Buds 2a

We've got the full download on all the devices and news we expect from the Made by Google 2025 event, and we'll also be covering it live. After the event wraps, Mashable will be participating in a live CNET roundtable on YouTube to recap the event — don't miss it.

All the new Pixel devices we expect at Made by Google 2025

As always, this will probably be a phone-centric show, but that likely won't be all we see. Keep an eye out for a long-rumored series of magnetic charging accessories, dubbed the PixelSnap series. Plus, you know Google never misses a chance to show off new artificial intelligence features — whether they're worth showing off or not.

Pixel 10

We have a full roundup of Pixel 10 lineup rumors and leaks for your perusal, but I'll also summarize the key findings here.

Starting with the base Pixel 10, it seems like the basic design of the phones won't change all that much from the Pixel 9 series. In other words, the Pixel 9a wasn't a template for the Pixel 10. Under the hood, expect all Pixel 10 phones to use the new in-house Tensor 5 chip, which ideally will deliver better performance than the Tensor 4 in last year's Pixel phones.

Screen brightness might also be improved, while the biggest change is undoubtedly in the rear camera array. This year's base Pixel model will allegedly have a third lens, bringing it more in line with previous Pixel Pro models. It might have a 50MP main lens with a 12MP ultrawide lens and a new 10.8MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. That would certainly give the Pixel 10 a leg up on other base model flagships, which typically only have two rear camera lenses.

As we reported in July (via Android Headlines), we expect the Pixel 10 lineup to be thicker and heavier than the Pixel 9, likely to make them compatible with Qi2 wireless charging. The differences are slight, fortunately.

It sounds like this year's Pro models will be incremental improvements over the versions Google launched a year ago.

Per Android Central, their display specs might be unchanged from last year, while they might get bumps in battery size. The Pixel 10 Pro XL, in particular, could have a 5,200mAh battery, which is enormous by contemporary smartphone standards. Google might also drop the 128GB storage option from the 10 Pro XL and bump the starting price of the unit up by $100 accordingly.

Aside from that, it doesn't seem like much will change in the Pro lineup, including the camera specs, which are rumored to be the same as a year ago. Google could prove us wrong here, of course, but we can only go by what's been leaked ahead of time.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Last year's Pixel 9 Pro Fold was my favorite foldable yet. However, Samsung brought the heat with the Galaxy Fold 7 in July, so the competition is a little stiffer this year. (We should also get a foldable iPhone in the near future.)

It doesn't seem like there will be major design changes to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which might be disappointing for those who wished for something as razor-thin as the new Galaxy Fold 7. It'll have three rear camera lenses, just as it did a year ago, though the specs are rumored to be very similar to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Google is said to have bumped the battery size up to at least 5,000mAh, which should hopefully give it some more endurance, as that's been a regular complaint from Pixel users.

The two biggest rumored changes are less flashy, but not any less important than big, sweeping design overhauls would be. For starters, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold might be the first foldable with a full IP68 waterproof rating. Beyond that, Google is apparently dropping the starting price by $200, down to $1,600. It's still expensive, but that would make it cheaper than the competition.

Lastly, solid leaks point to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold weighing more than its predecessor, which could be explained by the presence of magnets. That would make the new Pixel foldable fully compatible with the Qi 2 wireless charging standard.

Unfortunately, some rumors say this phone won't be released until October. We'll find out soon enough.

Pixel Watch 4

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Much of what we know about the Pixel Watch 4 seems to be based on leaked renders from back in April, courtesy of OnLeaks.

Judging from the renders (which are not official, of course), the new Pixel Watch could have thinner bezels while sharing the same rounded look as before. It also appears to lack traditional charging pins, which means Google may be emphasizing wireless charging this time around. There's also the possibility of new buttons on the unit itself, though we have no idea what they would be for at this time, if they even exist.

As usual, the most important changes to the Pixel Watch 4 will largely involve what it can do in terms of health tracking, and it's hard to get an idea of any of those features based purely on leaked renders.

Finally, the latest rumors point to improvements in battery life and brightness with the Pixel Watch 4, which will be running Wear OS 6. Per leaker Evan Blass, the Pixel Watch 4 will be a whopping 1,000 nits brighter than its predecessor, with 3,000 nits compared to the Pixel Watch 3's 2,000.

We'll wait until after the launch to decide if it's a worthy alternative to Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8.

Pixel Buds 2a

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

If you hated how vague the Pixel Watch 4 section was, you might want to scroll past this part.

Earlier this year, leaker Arsene Lupin published a list of possible colors for the device on X. And according to a more recent leak on X from Evan Blass, the new Pixel Buds 2a will only come in two colors — a lilac and classic black. According to that same leak, the new Pixel Buds will offer active noise cancellation (duh) and 7 hours of battery life. They will potentially lack the "Silent Seal" of the Pixel Buds Pro, which offers improved noise cancellation.

Anything else?

As always, leave some room in your mind for surprises. While Made by Google will almost certainly focus on the products listed above, there could be other teases, too.

Namely, Google could follow up on two of its biggest teases from Google I/O earlier this year. The company debuted a new pair of XR smart glasses at the event, and we could hear more about those at Made by Google. Google also gave time for Samsung's Project Moohan headset at I/O, and it was weirdly absent from Samsung's Unpacked event last week. Could we see more of Moohan at Made by Google? Maybe, but I wouldn't call it a certainty.

All will be revealed soon…

In the fourth episode of its seventh season, Dropout's Game Changer introduced an intriguing new game. Stand-up comedians Jeff Arcuri, Josh Johnson, and Gianmarco Soresi had to do competitive crowd work, spinning comedy out of their audience's most outlandish — and sometimes, downright traumatizing — stories.

Titled "Crowd Control," the episode's audience featured a competitive bearder, identical triplets, and the survivor of a serial killer attack, prompting a wide range of reactions and jokes from the competing comedians. Ultimately, though, the episode proved a fascinating exploration of walking the line between comedy and empathy, making it one of the season's most compelling installments. Now, Dropout is spinning "Crowd Control" off into its own show, joining the likes of other Game Changer spin-offs like Make Some Noise, Dirty Laundry, and Play It By Ear.

Premiering this Sept., Crowd Control is hosted by comedian and frequent Dropout collaborator Jacquis Neal. Each episode introduces a new trio of comedians who must spin up new material based solely on their interactions with audience members. Just like in the Game Changer episode, Crowd Control's audience members are wearing shirts that display intriguing facts about them. A red shirt means the fact is much trickier to put a comedic spin on, but more risk means more reward, right? (For example, one red shirt in the trailer above reads "distant incest.")

Original "Crowd Control" champion Soresi returns to defend his title this season. However, he's not the only big name on the docket. Crowd Control has assembled a real who's who of comedians, with this season's competitors including Bob The Drag Queen, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Paul F. Tompkins, Moshe Kasher, Leslie Liao, Ify Nwadiwe, Jamie Loftus, Leah Rudick, Cristela Alonzo, Guy Branum, Atsuko Okatsuka, Kiran Deol, Tina Friml, Baron Vaughn, Jenny Zigrino, Megan Gailey, and Joyelle Nicole Johnson.

Crowd Control premieres Sept. 8 on Dropout, with new episodes streaming every other Monday.

Sony just launched an expansion of its Inzone gaming line with a new flagship wireless headset, wired earbuds, and a collection of PC gaming peripherals. This is the first time Sony has offered many of these products, which include the Inzone H9 II noise-cancelling headset, the Inzone E9 in-ear monitors, the Inzone KBD-H75 gaming keyboard, the Inzone Mouse-A gaming mouse, and two new mousepads.

Sony may be best known for its noise-cancelling headphones and the PS5 gaming console, but the company is now making new inroads into the PC gaming market. The new products are available for pre-order now and will ship in the first week of September.

For its expanded Inzone lineup, Sony worked with professional gamers with the Fnatics esports team, which tested some of these products at the Apex Legends Global Series Championship. Mashable has also been testing the new Inzone products (the headset and aluminum gaming keyboard are definitely standouts), and we've got all the details.

With the exception of the H9 II headset, all of these products are category firsts for Sony. The products are all available for pre-order now at Amazon and Sony.

• Inzone H9 II Headset: $349.99 at Amazon

• Inzone E9 In-Ear Monitors: $149.99 at Amazon

• Inzone KBD-H75 Keyboard: $299.99 at Sony

• Inzone Mouse-A: $149.99 at Sony

• Inzone Mat F mousepad: $59.99 at Sony

• Inzone Mat D speed mousepad: $34.99 at Sony

The H9 II PC gaming headset and E9 in-ear monitors

The flagship H9 II is a follow-up to the original H9 headset, originally released in 2022. It has the same 30mm drivers as the flagship Sony XM6 noise-cancelling headphones and powerful active noise cancellation. In addition, they feature a redesigned headband, which features a slider-lock system and fabric headband. This results in a significantly lighter design. Combined with foam ear cushions, this makes them extremely comfortable for extended wear in our testing.

The headset has a detachable, unidirectional microphone. Sony's noise-cancellation technology utilizes artificial intelligence to isolate the player's voice during gameplay.

The H9 II also offers a variety of connectivity options, including USB-C (2.4GHz connection), Bluetooth LE audio, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. We've found that the headphones sound fantastic, and PC gamers can use the Sony Inzone Hub to adjust EQ settings and choose from three audio presets designed to improve the sound of first-person shooters.

Designed for professional gamers and first-person shooters, the new E9 wired gaming earbuds are also extremely comfortable. They feature a wrap-around design that doesn't tug on your ear, and in a Call of Duty demo, they offered both a secure fit and high-quality, detail-rich audio. Like the H9 II, the audio can be fully customized to your liking. Crucially, the secure fit and shape offer high amounts of passive noise cancellation in our experience.

A Sony press release states: "The INZONE E9 hosts Sony’s first fully enclosed structure, and combined with the noise isolation ear tips, they achieve superior passive noise isolation for more focused sound. These in-ear monitors are designed to reduce sounds from a pro tournament crowd or get rid of simple background distractions in everyday play."

New Inzone gaming peripherals

Let's start with the most exciting new product here: Sony's first-ever PC gaming keyboard, the Inzone KBD-H75. In our testing, it's extremely satisfying to type on this keyboard, even when you're not gaming. We love the CNC-machined aluminum frame and tactile experience. But, since this is designed for gamers, let's break down the specs.

Gamers can use the Inzone gaming hub to fully customize each key's actuation and reset points. The keyboard features a polling rate of up to 8,000Hz for lightning-fast, rapid trigger reaction and accurate signal delivery.

According to a Sony press release:

"The KBD-H75 keyboard utilizes a gasket mount that cushions each press by sandwiching the plate with soft gaskets, reducing vibration, and improving feedback for a smoother, more satisfying keystroke and a clean, precise typing sound—delivering comfort that lasts through long gaming sessions…[The] INZONE KBD-H75 gaming keyboard adopts a compact 75% layout to give pro FPS players more mouse space without sacrificing essential keys for daily use."

The new gaming mouse is ultra-light at 48.4 grams, though it's not the lightest mouse available in 2025. This gaming mouse can stay powered on for 90 hours of gaming. As you'd expect, you can customize the six buttons in the Inzone Hub. The mousepads are… mousepads. The D version of the pad is designed for maximum speed.
