Jimmy Fallon to Host Pixel 10 Keynote at Google on August 20
Taking a different path for its Made by Google 2025 keynote, Google has confirmed that "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon will lead the event. The event is set for August 20 at 1 PM ET in Brooklyn, NY, and with this has signalled the major change from the.
Hosting Made by Google 2025-Pixel 10 Launch by Jimmy Fallon
Calling on a big popular figure to host in the likes of Fallon indicates that Google is looking to reach a much larger mainstream audience, and this is a departure from its events where Rick Osterloh, the hardware chief, focused a lot on technical specs and product strategy. The format-an intersection of tech and pop culture-should have more emphasis on real-world use cases than raw specs.
The event was promoted as a "star-studded" occasion with other expected guests like NBA star Stephen Curry, Formula 1 driver Lando Norris, and the Jonas Brothers. This approach is in tune with what has become an industry-wide trend evident in Apple's cinematic launches and Samsung's celebrity endorsements, with emphasis on integration through storytelling and lifestyle-determined choices.
Expected Announcements Pixel 10 Lineup and More
The keynote will see the tenth generation of Pixel phones. Central to the event will be the showcasing of new hardware such as:
- Pixel 10 Series: This is likely to be Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
- Pixel Watch 4: New wearable reportedly has a 45mm version and is running on Wear OS 6.
- Pixel Buds: New earbuds are expected, including the Pixel Buds 2a and new 'Moonstone' finish for Pixel Buds Pro 2.
Leaked Specs and 'Secret Products'
Powering the new phones, as per leaks, will be Google's Tensor G5 chip, while camera upgrades reportedly include a 50MP main sensor and 10x optical zoom for the Fold model. Other features will include a few AI enhancements such as Gemini Live and Qi2 magnetic charging via a new Pixelsnap accessory ecosystem. Adding to the buzz, Fallon further teased that "secret products" would be unveiled, leading to speculations over the next AI-driven accessories or perhaps an update on Google's smart glass project.
Leaked Pricing
According to leaked information, the initial pricing for the Pixel 10 starts at $799, whereas the Pixel 10 Pro Fold are expected to cost around $1,799, thereby directly competing with the forthcoming Apple and Samsung devices.
