Made By Google 2025 Announces Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro Fold & More
This year's Made By Google kicked off with a rolling montage of celebrity figures such as Alex Cooper, The Jonas Brothers, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Lando Norris, A'Ja Wilson, and Stephen Curry, among others. Jimmy Fallon served as the MC for the event, cheekily remarking that he's going to keep a hold on Google's upcoming flagship device, which we'll discuss in a moment.
At the top of the event was the announcement of the Pixel 10, which Fallon used as part of the montage bit. This year's Pixel improves on its impressive build with updated AI-powered features, improved power under the hood, and, for the first time, a third camera that boasts a telephoto lens for long-distance snaps. The Pixel 10, like its predecessor, the Pixel 9, will come in a standard version, a Pro version, and the larger Pro XL. The Pixel 10 starts for $799, the Pro at $999, and the Pro XL at $1199.

Also in the new device lineup is the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, improving upon the design of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold with an improved hinge system, brighter display, and all the innovations one can expect from the Pixel lineup. The device's starting price is $1799.
Smartwatches are still very much a top item in the Google ecosystem, and the Pixel Watch 4 is a leap for the lineup. With a new inside and out redesign, the Watch 4 will also debut its Satellite Communications feature for emergency contact needs. The Watch 4's 41 mm price is set at $349 for Wi-Fi, and $449 for LTE. For the 45 mm version, the prices are $399 for Wi-Fi and $499 for LTE.

For shoppers on a budget, Google also announced its Pixel Buds 2a, with seven hours of battery life and 24 hours of battery life in its charging case. The buds also come equipped with Gemini Live for AI-assisted needs. The price for the Pixel Buds 2a starts at $129.
Speaking of Curry, he was recently brought on as Google's 'Performance Adviser,' adding his sports and tech know-how to what the brand hopes to achieve with its new products, including the Gemini AI platform.

Google to provide Gemini AI tools to federal agencies for 47 cents
Google will provide a suite of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud services to federal agencies for 47 cents each, the General Services Administration (GSA) announced Thursday. Federal agencies will have access to Gemini for Government at the discounted price through 2026. The announcement follows similar moves by OpenAI and Anthropic to offer their AI products to the government for $1 a year. 'Federal agencies can now significantly transform their operations by using the tools in 'Gemini for Government', thanks to this agreement with Google and the Trump Administration's leadership revolutionizing AI for the U.S. government,' acting GSA administrator Michael Rigas said in a statement. The agency added Google's Gemini, OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude to its government purchasing system earlier this month, opening up the AI models for purchase and use by federal agencies. xAI's Grok was also added to the purchasing schedule in July. The push to make these models accessible comes after President Trump unveiled his AI Action Plan last month, calling to accelerate the technology's adoption in the federal government. Google and GSA previously reached an agreement in April to offer the tech giant's Workspace tools to agencies at a 71 percent discount. 'Building on our Workspace offer for federal employees, Gemini for Government gives federal agencies access to our full stack approach to AI innovation, including tools like NotebookLM and Veo powered by our latest models and our secure cloud infrastructure, so they can deliver on their important missions,' Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a statement.

Google Search's new AI Mode can now book reservations for you — and it's rolling out worldwide
Google Search has made another round of updates to AI Mode, its AI-powered search experience. Rolling out today, AI Mode is now expanding to over 180 countries and territories with new features that do more for users than just source answers. With an expanded wave of agentic capabilities, Google Search supports users in new ways by helping with real-world tasks, including making dinner reservations and soon expanding to event tickets and local appointments. Imagine no longer waiting online to score a pair of concert tickets. Or, go about your day while Google Search makes your next hair appointment. Here's everything you need to know about what AI Mode can do, how it works, and who can access it. The latest upgrades have evolved Search from passive answers to agentic AI, meaning, less interruption to your workflow and increased productivity throughout your day. If you're a Google AI Ultra subscriber in the U.S. and opted into the 'Agentic capabilities in AI Mode' experiment in Search Labs, you can now ask the AI to find and book dinner reservations based on your exact preferences. For example: ask for a spot with outdoor seating, vegetarian options, and a 7:30 p.m. slot, and AI Mode will generate a curated list of restaurants that match, complete with real-time availability and direct links to booking pages. The AI does the legwork, so all you have to do is finalize the reservation. Google is powering this functionality through integrations with major platforms like OpenTable, Resy, Tock, Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek, Booksy and more. Support for local service appointments and event ticket bookings is coming soon. Users who have opted into AI Mode will now see smarter, more personalized answers, starting with dining-related topics. The AI considers your past conversations, as well as places you've searched or tapped on in Search and Google Maps, to deliver results that better match your interests. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. For you, that means less scrolling and more relevant options. From dinner spots to weekend plans, getting what you want, where and when you want it, just got easier. Previously limited to the U.S., U.K., and India, AI Mode is now rolling out in English across 180+ countries and territories. While language support is still limited to English, this marks a massive expansion of Google's most advanced search experience. According to Google, the expansion comes after 'incredibly positive feedback' from early testers and signals its commitment to scaling a more intelligent and helpful search for users worldwide. Google is also introducing a new link-sharing feature for AI Mode. If you find something interesting or useful such as a vacation planning ideas or a shortlist of restaurants you're considering for dinner, you can now share your AI-generated session with friends or family. Anyone with the link can jump in right where you left off, ask follow-up questions, and continue exploring. You also have full control to manage or delete shared links at any time, helping keep your search experience private. Google Search is officially stepping into assistant territory. With AI Mode's ability to act on your behalf, deliver tailored results and support global access, this could be a glimpse of what the company has planned for the future of AI.

Can you still buy the Google Pixel 9? Here's how much you'll have to pay
The Google Pixel 10 may have just been unveiled, ahead of its August 28 launch, but is it the only option for potential Pixel hopefuls? After all, the Google Pixel 9 is only a year old, and typically older models enjoy some generous discounts once they hit that milestone. Then again some phones simply disappear from store shelves, as focus is shifted to the new model. So which fate has befallen the Google Pixel 9? Can you still buy last year's Google phone, and how much is it going to cost you compared to the Pixel 10? The good news is that the Pixel 9 is still available to purchase, as are the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The bad news is that the prices haven't actually changed — they essentially cost the same as their Pixel 10 counterparts. If anyone was going to discount the Pixel 9 series, you'd think Google would be it. But checking the Google Store and there don't seem to be any discounts on Pixel 9 series devices as of this writing. That means the Pixel 9 is going to set you back at least $799, which is the exact same price as the Pixel 10. Admittedly, the Pixel 9 is available right away and there seems to be plenty of stock available in all colors and storage options. The Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL aren't quite as readily available, but as long as you're not picky about the color you get then all the different storage options are available. it may not be enjoying any discounts right now, but the Pixel 9 is still available to purchase at the Google Store. It's a tried-and-tested Google phone with a year's worth of updates and fixes under its belt already. This is far from the lowest price we've seen this phone go, and the more advanced Pixel 10 models go on sale August 28. Also available: Pixel 9 Pro ($999) | Pixel 9 Pro XL ($1,099) The Pixel 9 Pro still costs $999, the same as the Pixel 10 Pro, though the Pixel 9 Pro XL is $100 cheaper than its successor at $1,099. That lower price is due to the fact Google still sells the 9 Pro XL with 128GB of storage, which isn't the case for the Pixel 10 Pro XL and its 256GB base storage. Being the retail behemoth that it is, Amazon has a lot of different Pixel 9 options from a variety of sellers in various levels of condition — and it's not always obvious from the search menu whether you're looking at a new or refurbished model. For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to focus on devices that are brand new and unlocked. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Anyone hoping to pick up a Pixel 9 can get a $50 discount on the original $799 price tag — but only if they buy that phone in wintergreen. The black model has had no discount, and white is more expensive for some reason. Considering we've seen this phone drop as low as $499 in the past few weeks, I wouldn't recommend this deal at all. Save $180 on the cost of the Pixel 9 Pro XL over at Amazon. It's nowhere near the lowest price we've seen for this phone, it is still considerably cheaper than the Pixel 10 Pro XL — and it has all the best technology Google had to offer this time last year. The Pixel 9 Pro is a little bit better off, with a $909 price tag for the black model — the other options are apparently sold out. Again, though, that's not an amazing deal. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is much better value, with the black model dropping to $929, but that's still almost $150 more than the lowest ever price. The good news is that the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are both available to purchase at Best Buy. The bad news is that they're both listed at full price, and you can only get the Pro in black. Pixel 9 buyers have a little more choice, since the wintergreen option is also available. Fortunately the Pixel 9 Pro XL is both in stock and discounted to $989 — which actually makes it slightly cheaper than the smaller Pixel 9 Pro. But it's still a lot higher than this phone's all-time low. Walmart is very much like Amazon, in that you're potentially buying from multiple sellers rather than Walmart itself. So there are a lot of used or refurbished Pixel 9 models listed for sale, which muddies things up slightly. Sadly new and unlocked models appear to be out of stock across the entire Pixel 9 lineup. That means no Pixel 9, no Pixel 9 Pro and no Pixel 9 Pro XL. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is available at AT&T, though it appears the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are unavailable. The former is out of stock, while the latter is apparently just not visible on the carrier's website. However those of you hunting for the XL have some caveats to contend with. The first being that AT&T is only stocking the 256GB model, and it costs the same amount as the Pixel 10 Pro XL. To make the Pixel 9 Pro XL even less appealing, the 10 Pro XL has a pre-order bonus that nets you the handset for free with any eligible trade-in. That same deal isn't on offer for the 9 Pro XL — meaning you'll have to pay the full $1,249 price out of pocket. All 3 non-folding Pixel 9 devices appear to be out of stock at T-Mobile, not that it would have mattered. The three phones are all listed with the same price tags as their Pixel 10 counterparts — which is full retail. The only Pixel 9 option available at Verizon is a 128GB Pixel 9 Pro for $999 — and like the Ford Model T, it's only available in black. Both the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL are listed as out of stock, with no colors or storage options available to order. The question you may have right now is whether it's actually worth buying a Pixel 9, or Pixel 9 Pro, right now. Honestly, I would recommend against it for the time being. While stock levels do seem to be declining, being patient is far more likely to pay off. Pixel 9s have been on sale a lot over the past 12 months, and those discounts were pushed to their extreme in the run-up to the Pixel 10 launch event. The Pixel 9 dropped below the cost of a full-price Pixel 9a, and in comparison the full $799 retail price seems like a complete rip-off. The same goes for the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL, which have dropped their prices by several hundred dollars in the recent past. My gut would tell me that, faced with the prospect of paying the same price for a Pixel 9 and Pixel 10, you're better off picking the newer phone. But we are at that weird point between the Pixel 10 announcement and its actual release, which means we don't really have a complete picture of how the new phone will perform until we do a full review. Plus, odds are we'll see retailers slashing prices to try and clear stock once the Pixel 10 is actually released on August 28. At which point you can better decide whether you want to pay out for the latest model, or save some money with last year's (admittedly very good) tech.
