These phones are all expected to have a new HiLight feature , previously referred to as Pixel Glow. This seemingly takes the form of colored lights on the back of the phones that can switch on to alert you to notifications, or when youre interacting with Gemini.

Beyond that, these phones are also likely to include a new Tensor G6 chipset to give them a power boost over the Google Pixel 10 series, and in the case
of the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, a 120x camera zoom, up from 100x on the Pixel 10 Pro series.

However, these phones could also be more expensive than their predecessors, and the Pro models might start with less RAM.

Other than phones, Google is also likely to announce the Pixel Watch 5, which might have double the storage of the Pixel Watch 4 at 64GB, and 50% more RAM at 3GB. It will reportedly also have a slight battery boost, but could stick with its predecessors Snapdragon Wear W5 Gen 2 chipset .

Were also hearing that Google could launch the Pixel Tag at this event. That would be the companys first AirTag rival.

Plus, theres a chance we could hear more about some upcoming Android XR glasses, and we might also finally see the launch of the long-awaited Gemini 3.5 Pro model.
