Pixel 11 event live blog: Let’s watch Trevor Noah introduce Google’s new phones

It’s almost time for the Made by Google keynote, where the company will show off the brand-new Pixel hardware it announced today. Like last year, it’ll be a celebrity-packed live show, though Trevor Noah is hosting instead of Jimmy Fallon. If the 2025 show was any indication, today’s broadcast might be something of a cringefest.

If you’ve been following tech news this morning, you already know a lot about the new Pixels. Press and creators were able to publish extensive hands-on impressions of the new hardware hours ago, and you can read our coverage of the Pixel 11 phones, their new camera features, the Pixel Watch 5, and more right now.

Google could pull something unexpected out of a hat. But it seems more likely that this show isn’t for the people who devour every hands-on the moment they’re published. Instead, the event is likely intended to reach a more mainstream audience that might watch the livestream after work or as a replay at a later time.

Victoria Song will be there in person, while the rest of us will be watching remotely, and we’ll all be blogging all of our secondhand embarrassment right here.

Things kick off at 6PM ET / 3PM PT. You can watch the event on the embedded YouTube video while following along with our live thoughts below.
