Here’s a quick look at what they look like on each color variant of the Pixel Watch 4.

Today’s big Made by Google event for the Pixel 10 was… something, but if nothing else, it showed a Google that was confident in the product it was bringing to the table.

The Pixel Watch 4 is finally here — or, well, it will be, once its October shipping date finally rolls around. It sure seems like the wait’s going to be worth it, though.

You can now use them seamlessly with your new Pixel 10 while taking full advantage of its Qi2 support and faster wireless charging.

Google’s new Pixel Watch 4 comes with a newly designed charging dock for faster top-ups, and it will warn you when you aren’t getting the power needed.

Android QPR2 Beta 2 began rolling out mere hours after the Made by Google event ended, and it makes a few key changes to the home screen. Namely, themed icons in Android 16 QPR2 Beta 2 are now rebranded “minimal” icons, and a custom option is now available.

Nomad, a brand perhaps best know for its various premium iPhone and Apple Watch accessories, has dabbled in Pixel accessories in the past, but is now expanding with the debut of one of the first real leather bands for Pixel Watch and I’ve had the pleasure of trying one out over the past few months.

With the Pixel 10 series and Pixel Watch 4, Google is announcing the latest Gemini app features.

Google’s Pixel Watch 4 is finally official, and while wearable fans might feel stressed about its October launch date, those hardware improvements seem well worth it. But with a new charging dock comes the need for additional chargers, and depending on what you want to buy for your next smartwatch, you should probably start saving up.

Making the move to a new phone can seem daunting, but this year, Google is making it easier than ever for potential iPhone converts to make the jump to Pixel 10 and switch allegiances over to Android.

And while Tensor G5 might be the story for some enthusiasts, proper Qi2 support is undoubtedly one of the most exciting changes — though, depending on which phone you buy, it comes with its fair share of limitations.

After the official launch keynote, the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL are now available to pre-order in 33 countries across the globe—the most for a Pixel ever.

Google’s Tensor G5 chip will be delivering a bit of a speed boost for the Pixel 10 series as a whole, but the company’s devices are getting an added boost this year with faster storage by way of the new “Zoned UFS” upgrade that includes – finally – UFS 4.0.

Google is officially ditching support for a physical SIM card slot on its core Pixel 10 series, but only in the US market.
