Wrist computers keep getting smarter, yet most still wait for you to ask before they do anything useful. Google’s Pixel Watch 5 flips that expectation. Revealed today, the fifth generation leans hard into watching over you without constant prompting, pairing sharper hardware with health tools that stay alert in the background and a version of Gemini that surfaces help before you even raise your arm.
Google spent this morning revealing the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and the biggest news may be how carefully the company stayed the course. After months of speculation about radical redesigns, the new phone arrives as a careful refinement of last year’s model rather than a complete reinvention. It is lighter, a little thinner, brighter on both screens, and built to take more of a beating, all while carrying a higher starting price of $1,899.

Fresh images of the Pixel 11 Pro in matte black have landed just days before Google’s Made by Google event, and they show a phone that finally matches the finish many people have wanted for years.
A small, pale oblong device has started turning up in European retail listings and a clear photo, and it carries the name Google Pixel Tag. The model number GA12506 appears alongside a color called Fog Light. The shape stands taller and more pill-like than the round discs most people already know, closer to the core of an old Fitbit without the band attached. A large Google “G” sits in the center of the face. Below it sits a tiny speaker grille and what looks like a small LED.
Google DeepMind released Gemini Robotics ER 2 as the high-level reasoning layer in a new trio of models built for robots that need to move, plan, and work alongside people or other machines. This version sits above the motor-control systems and acts as the coordinator.
Evan Blass has shared a collection of high-resolution images that look like they came straight from Google’s own marketing materials for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Posted through his Leakmail newsletter on July 30, the shots capture the foldable from nearly every angle in a muted green finish called Pine. This shade sits a step darker than last year’s Jade, paired with a light gold frame and matching Google logo that give the phone a quiet, refined presence.
Losing access to a Google account can feel like the digital equivalent of locking yourself out of the house with the keys still inside. Emails, photos, documents, and calendars suddenly sit just out of reach. Google has spent years adding recovery options for exactly these moments, and today it rolled out another one that relies on a short video of your face.

Fresh official-looking renders of Google’s next smartwatch have appeared online this morning, and they show the Pixel Watch 5 looking every bit as polished as the phones set to join it later this summer. The images come courtesy of longtime leaker OnLeaks working with a new site called The Tide Chart, and they lay out the full color lineup in clean, high-resolution detail that feels ready for a product page.
Smartphone buyers chasing flagship capability without an oversized body often land on the Google Pixel 10 Pro, priced at $699 (was $999), as one of the stronger choices at its price. It packs versatile cameras, a bright and fluid screen, responsive performance, and now native magnetic wireless charging into a frame built for comfortable daily handling.
Google released a new commercial that places several of America’s founding figures into a modern shared workspace. The spot runs roughly a minute and carries the simple tagline “Group project, but make it 1776.” It forms part of the company’s push around the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.
