Googlehas surprised us all by moving its annual October Pixel launch event forward to August:Tuesday, August 13 to be exact. What’s more, the official teaser for the event gives us a big clue about what’s going to be revealed.

Okay, it was already a pretty safe bet that thePixel 9and Pixel 9 Pro would show up at this event – but asAndroid Policenotes, the very brief promo clip that appears as you load upthe new holding pageon the Google Store gives us a look at the Pixel 9 Pro.

This would appear to be the Pro model because of the triple-lens camera that’s just about visible on the back of the handset – oh, and it mentions “Pro” in the page URL too. The same teaser clip has also beenposted to YouTubeby Google and is embedded below.

It’s not much to go on, but it confirms we are going to get Google’s next flagship phones two months earlier than expected – perhaps to get ahead of theiPhone 16, which is due in September. Google previously launched thePixel 8ain May.

What we might see

TheMade by Google event pageisn’t giving much away about what’s coming, other than that there will be a livestream. Assuming the Pixel 9 and the Pixel 9 Pro are definitely going to show up, we could well see some more hardware on show, too.

A third model, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, has beenmentioned by some sources. Then there’s the Pixel Fold 2 aka thePixel 9 Pro Fold– the successor to thePixel Fold, which launched back in May 2023, could be another handset that’s revealed.

Other possibilities for this event include thePixel Watch 3(following on from last year’sPixel Watch 2), thePixel Tablet 2(the originalPixel Tabletwent on sale in July 2023), and perhapsa new pair of Google Pixel Buds.
