After focusing its big Google I/O 2025 on AI tech and Gemini’s latest features, Google has new hardware. The next Made by Google event kicks off tomorrow, and Google has already confirmed how at least one of its new phones will look.
Expect a little more fanfare than usual. The company dropped a video on X, teasing “special guests,” including Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Curry, Lando Norris and the Jonas Brothers. Surely, they’ll make you buy a Pixel!
Leaks suggest Google is giving all of its Pixel 10 phones telephoto cameras in 2025, though it’s still possible the phone teased earlier is a Pixel 10 Pro. We’re expecting to see four phones in total: Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro Fold. Then, if you can maintain focus, there’s likely to be a new Pixel Watch with smaller bezels and a brighter screen, and maybe even new entry-level Pixel buds.
The Pixel 10 launch event kicks off on August 20, tomorrow, at 1PM ET / 10AM PT. We’ll be reporting live from the event. Here’s a full breakdown of what we’re expecting to see.

A nuclear reactor would also provide a significant amount of energy from a small mass, which is crucial for space travel. Challenges remain, including the system’s weight, recent cuts at NASA and the lack of a US company to produce the microreactor itself.

It offers 50 miles of range, 47 hp and ‘whisper-quiet operation.’
Can-Am, part of the motorsports group BRP that recently introduced electric snowmobiles, has just launched its first electric all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The Outlander Electric is designed to be “whisper quiet” for tasks like herding or hunting, but it can still tow more than its gas-powered counterparts, thanks to the high level of torque.
The 8.9 kWh battery will offer around 50 miles (80km) of range, which is half that of a gasoline ATV, depending on the model. The Can-Am Outlander Electric ATV is now available from dealers and Can-Am’s website, starting at $12,999.
