Turn doodles and photos into illustrated tales with Gemini Storybook. AI prompts, styling, and narration to teach, engage, and inspire.

Google Gemini was the star yet again at this year's hardware event, brining new features to the second-gen Pixel Buds A-Series and Pro 2.

Google has upgraded Gemini Live with visual guidance, tighter app integrations, natural speech, and conversational photo editing. Here’s what’s new and when it’s rolling out.

To nobody’s surprise, there’s a new Tensor G5 chip, with a 35% faster CPU, powering everything. The Pixel 10 comes with 12GB of RAM standard and two storage options (128GB and 256GB). And for the first time on any Pixel phone, there’s built-in Satellite SOS, which works more or less the same as it does on newer iPhones.

The Pixel Watch 4 debuts refined hardware and Wear OS 6, but also a Gemini-powered Personal AI Coach and redesigned Fitbit app.

The move by Google and Oracle signals a future in which AI is no longer locked to a single provider’s platform.

As anticipation builds for the Made by Google 2025 event, there’s a buzz around the Pixel 10 series, arriving notably before the iPhone 17. Apple’s hardware event is expected to take place in September.

Google's autonomous AI assistant Gemini Live gets improved speech understanding and more access to services such as Maps.
