How to watch the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel Watch event
Made by Google starts this Thursday, October 6, at 10 a.m. ET. While the major reveals have been leaked in near entirety, it still promises to be a worthwhile show to watch (even if just to hit that pre-order button as early as possible).
The headliners of the event are theGoogle Pixel 7and theGoogle Pixel Watch. Beyond this, we can expect some new Nest hardware and, if we’re really lucky, the announcement of the Pixel tablet. It’s doubtful any reveal will be as dramatic asApple’s removal of the SIM card, but the new Pixel Watch has major potential to shake up the smartwatch industry.
We’re extremely excited to see what Google announces (and whether the Pixel 7 will crack our list of thebest Android phones), and we’re sure you are too. Read on to find out how to watch Made by Google 2022.

What will be revealed at Made by Google 2022?
ThePixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have been leaked to death, with features from Cinematic Blur and a new Tensor chip confirmed to be present in the new phones. We also know a lot about the Pixel Watch, which looks to be a premium addition to theAndroid smartwatch lineup. However, the waters become murky beyond these guaranteed releases.
New Google Nest hardware
While we don’t know specifics, the event’s launch page confirms there will be “additions to the Nest smart home portfolio.” We’ve seen a few rumors about what could be announced, but unless we see any leaks this month, we’ll have to wait until the event.
A budget Chromecast
Rumors surrounding a new 1080p Chromecast have been circling since the start of 2022, and we expected it to launch on October 6. However, it’salready available for purchase as of September 22.
While there is a slim possibility of a high-end Chromecast announcement, we rate the chances as about that of the Pixel tablet.
Sadly, no Google Pixel tablet
At Google I/O 2022, Google confirmed that it will release the Pixel tablet in 2023. However, this doesn’t mean we won’t see any additional information at Made by Google. If we’re fortunate, we might get a hands-on demo.
For a more detailed breakdown, here’s a rundown ofevery announcement we expect at the Made by Google event.
October 6 is an exciting day for Google fans
While the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are mostly refinements on the Pixel 6, the new Pixel Watch will be an exciting addition to the range of Android smartwatches. Expect a detailed review from us on release. It might even make it to our list of thebest Android smartwatches.
