Google held its Made by Google 2026 event on Wednesday. The company unveiled several new products at once. That includes the Pixel 11 series. It includes the Pixel Watch 5. Google even introduced a direct competitor to Apple’s AirTag. Beyond hardware, the tech giant also spent time showcasing new Gemini-powered features across its device lineup.
Gemini Gets More Useful on Pixel
Google devoted a significant portion of the event to AI. Much of that discussion centered on Gemini and related features coming to its devices.
One especially notable update focuses on accessibility. Google is expanding Live Transcribe to support American Sign Language. Using the Pixel Camera, users can now have sign language translated directly into text. This gives people a new way to communicate without needing to rely on typing.

Google also introduced a new voice-input feature called “Rambler.” This tool is designed to better understand how people actually speak in real life. Rather than requiring carefully structured sentences, Rambler handles messier speech patterns. That includes run-on sentences. It includes filler words. It also includes less structured speech overall, all while still figuring out what the user actually means.
A few smaller updates rounded out this section. Circle to Search can now be accessed more directly through the Pixel Camera. This lets users identify objects instantly. They can search for things in the distance. They can translate text on the spot. They can even ask questions about their surroundings, all without leaving the camera app.

Pixel 11
The standard Pixel 11 comes with a redesigned camera bar. It’s noticeably thinner than the version on the previous generation. According to Google, the new camera bar is more than 40% thinner. It now uses an all-glass surface that stretches across the full width of the phone. Google is also boosting base storage significantly. The starting capacity is now 256GB, doubling what the previous model offered.

Pricing has changed too. The new model starts at $899. That reflects a $100 increase compared to the Pixel 10. Part of this price hike comes from a specific decision. Google dropped the 128GB storage option entirely. An ongoing RAM supply shortage is also playing a role in the higher starting price.
The Pixel 11 will be available in four colors. That includes Frost, Hibiscus, Pistachio, and Obsidian.
Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL
Google is putting more emphasis on durability across its Pro lineup this year. The company says both the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL now offer improved drop resistance. They also feature a new anti-scratch display coating. That coating provides more than twice the scratch resistance compared to the Pixel 10 Pro models.

The Pixel 11 Pro starts at $1,099. That’s up from $999 for the Pixel 10 Pro.
These phones come in four color options. That includes Canyon, Fog, Olive, and Obsidian. Notably, this year’s Obsidian option gets a distinct all-matte finish.

Pixel 11 Pro Fold
Google’s new foldable phone brings several physical improvements. The company says it’s nearly 10% lighter than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. It’s also almost 1mm thinner. The device features slimmer bezels overall. It includes a 48-megapixel main camera. It also offers 30x Super Zoom capability.
Google is building further on the durability introduced with last year’s model. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold originally introduced IP68 water and dust resistance. The new Pixel 11 Pro Fold goes further still. It uses a glass-fiber composite back cover. That material is designed to better withstand cracking over time. A redesigned hinge also offers additional protection for the inner display. According to Google, these combined changes make the new model three times more durable than its predecessor.
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is available in Olive and Obsidian.
Google Takes Aim at Apple’s AirTag
Google finally has its own dedicated tracking tag. It’s called the Pixel Tag. This small device is designed to help people keep track of everyday items. That includes keys, wallets, and luggage. It connects directly to Android’s Find Hub network. Users can view the tag’s location through the Find Hub app, a system similar in concept to Apple’s Find My.

The tag is priced at $29 individually. A four-pack is also available for $99. Beyond phone tracking, the tag can also be located using a Pixel Watch. Pixel Buds users get an added convenience too. They can ask Gemini to find or ring a Pixel Tag directly, adding a voice-controlled way to track down lost items.

Pixel Watch 5
The Pixel Watch 5 is receiving several health-focused updates. The Google Health app will now provide monthly summaries of blood pressure trends. The goal is helping users notice meaningful patterns over time. The app will also provide monthly summaries covering insulin resistance trends.

Pricing varies by size. The 41mm Pixel Watch 5 starts at $399. The 45mm version starts at $429. Google is also offering a special Stephen Curry edition, priced at $579. That version comes with an exclusive design built specifically for workouts.
Meanwhile, the Pixel Buds Pro is arriving in a brand-new Olive color option.
