AI Magic

It is likely that Google will bring features like spam call detection using on-device AI processing, Gemini Live and more with the Pixel 9 series smartphones.
Pixel Watch and Buds
Google is expected to introduce the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro 2 at the Made by Google event.

Android 15
In addition to the Pixel devices and new AI features, the company has confirmed that it would detail the Android platform update as well. The Android 15 operating system, which was previewed at the Google I/O conference and has been in its beta version, would likely make its debut on the consumer front with the Pixel 9 series. The Android 15 OS is expected to bring some major changes, including improved user interface, satellite messaging, improved near field communication (NFC) for contact less payments and more. Moreover, the OS will be first to natively support Google AI features powered by Gemini. These could include an enhanced and exclusive Gemini AI app and Circle to Search features.
