The Made by Google started on October 15 at 7 a.m. PT or 10 a.m. ET. It streamed live from New York City, and ran for about an hour.

You’ll be able to watch it through the internet, but we will also had people on the ground keeping an eye on the proceedings and tweeting out the latest developments. Follow Mobile Editor Julian Chokkattu, Associate Mobile Editor Corey Gaskin, and Gaming Editor Felicia Miranda on Twitter to get their latest thoughts and hands-on experiences. We’ll also be sending out the latest stories and hands-on reviews through the Digital Trends and DT Mobile Twitter accounts, so make sure to follow both of those for up-to-date information.

Watching on YouTube

Made by Google '19

To watch the event, all you need to do is tune into the Made by Google 2019 livestream on the official Made by Google YouTube channel. The livestream is already up and waiting, so all you need to do is access that link on October 15 and you’re good to go.

If you’ve got a Chromecast plugged into a TV, then you can cast the video to your device — for that relaxed, laid back approach to major hardware launches. To do so, wait until the livestream is up and running properly on October 15, and tap the “Cast” icon in the YouTube app on your phone to get started.

Though the event has ended, there is a lot left to discuss. Are the Pixel Buds 2 as good as Apple’s Airpods? Why does Google’s new Pixel 4 look so different? What more can we expect from Google’s new initiative to be sustainable, and how will Google Assistant’s new speed affect user experience?

Here’s every Pixel phone that can download Android 16 Developer Preview 1

Even though Android 15 launched only recently, Google is already moving on to Android 16, which is much earlier than is typical. And if you have a Pixel device from the past couple of years, you can get the Android 16 Developer Preview 1 right now.

Typically, when Google releases a beta for Android, the Pixel lineup gets it first before any other phones. When Google announced Android 16 earlier today, we didn’t know exactly which Pixel models would be able to get the Developer Preview. But Google just revealed which models can run Android 16, and two of them are a bit surprising.

Google’s Pixel Weather app just got two new features. Here’s how they work

The Pixel Weather app has been the focus of a lot of attention lately as Google revamps the user experience and adds more features. Now, there's more good news: two of those promised functions — the Pollen count card and immersive vibrations — are newly available, at least for some users.

Thanks to "immersive weather vibrations," the Pixel Weather app vibrates to match the animated backgrounds it displays, with intensity levels that mirror the precipitation amount (because it's not just rainfall), according to 9to5Google. Of course, if you don't like the feature, you can disable it in the account menu.

The Pixel Watch is about to get a long-awaited software update

For the most part, Google has issued an update to the Pixel Watch roughly once a month. Most were simple security updates, while others included new features and OS upgrades. Fans expected an update in October, but Google delayed it until this month. This update will resume the rollout of Wear OS 5 to Pixel Watch 1 and Pixel Watch 2 users after a series of crashes caused Google to pause it back in September. After several months of work, the company has addressed the cause of the crashes and is confident that yesterday's update will be stable.

In addition to Wear OS 5, the update will also include better camera controls and changes to the Pixel Recorder app, which will be available through the Play Store. Your individual watch will notify you when the update is available for download, so you don't have to constantly check for it. The first update for the Pixel Watch 3 since its launch is also coming with bug fixes and security updates. All Pixel Watch models will eventually update to version AW2A.241105.012, although when the update happens will depend on both the carrier and the device.
