Google unveiled four new phones on Tuesday, the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. But that wasn’t all Google had planned for its big mid-August Made by Google event.

In its Made by Google event on August 13, Google finally made the long-awaited Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold official.
