It’s summertime, and all the big brands are rolling out their latest. We saw Motorola announce the new Moto Razr and Razr+, while Samsung confirmed its Galaxy Unpacked event for July 10, where new foldables and smartwatches are expected. However, the company that caught all of us by surprise is Google, which announced a Pixel hardware event for August 13, 2024.

6 exciting reveals we're anticipating at Google's Pixel event in August

Google Keep might not be the flashiest note-taking app ever created, but it gets the job done with its basic functionality and layout options. It lets you take notes with a widget or in no more than three taps, and it syncs across the web, smartphones, large-screen tablets, and just about anything else that can run a browser.

The Made by Google event is one of the most anticipated events in 2024, and it looks like Google is changing when it's held. In a surprising move, Google revealed that instead of hosting the event in October, it’ll bring it forward and release its next-generation Pixel devices on August 13. The company also shared a few hints and teasers, practically confirming it’ll showcase the Pixel 9 series.

Auracast seems to be the "next big thing" in Bluetooth audio streaming. Sharing audio from one Android device to multiple Bluetooth headphones is a feature that should have arrived years ago, but it's finally coming with Android 15. You'd think the feature would be available on all devices that support Android 15, right? Sadly, it seems Google might not bring this feature to its mid-range and older devices, notably the Pixel 7 series and Pixel 8a.

Google might not bring Auracast sharing to certain Pixels after all
