Pixel Watch, Pixel 7 and Google's Hardware Reveal 2022!

Update: Google has confirmed to me that the Pixel 7 will in fact NOT be soft touch glass, despite previously telling us all that it would be 🙃

MKBHD's clock pointing to 7 and he's talking about Pixel 7, This man never dissapoints with such easter eggs.

probably a very unique demand, but I really just need that watch to have an Audible app

After watching Google IO I could see myself switching fully over to the google/pixel ecosystem. Google is creating a nice little apple rival with all this new stuff coming out over the next year or so, If the watch is close to Apple Watch and the tablet connects seamlessly similar to iPad and my iPhone, I might just make the jump.

Definitely looking forward to the tablet. After my Pixel C reached EoL years ago, my only other serious option was Samsung. The Pixel Watch reveal was totally underwhelming - not sold on the design. It's ugly.

I don't even care if the first generations of this new hardware aren't perfect, I'm just so happy to finally see Google building out their hardware ecosystem

I have the 4a and am still loving it! Thought about upgrading, but may instead spring for the Pixel Watch. Great content as always, man!

I'm really interested in that tablet...interesting it'll be running Android and not ChromeOS. I've gone all in on Apple since switching to the 13 Pro from my Pixel 5, and while I don't see myself leaving iOS etc for social reasons, I miss Google's take on Android and hope I can at least enjoy it as a tablet.

Excited to see what the tablet does with the new Android *L updates. I'm really curious to see if they do a folding phone too though.
The watch... Well I have never really felt like the smart watch was necessary. I use a Garmin and the notifications and quick canned reply features it provides are everything I think I care about, and the battery lasts a whole week. But, in fairness, I've never tried a true smartwatch myself.

with hardware announcements dominating this year's IO, Google is going bang on to its rival Apple. But Apple will always hold the edge over privacy. Tabs, I guess pixel won't be able to compete with iPad but it will surely make some dent initially. Lastly, the watch is interesting thing to look forward to...

Great now if only Google started actually selling this stuff globally

I've been waiting to upgrade my Pixel 2 XL, which has been such an incredible phone for the past few years! Looking forward to finally indulge and pick up the Pixel 7, buds, and watch in the next few months!

I've been waiting for a new Google watch since the Nexus days. I'm so excited to hear it's no longer a rumor and honestly I had to see it to believe it because over the years there's been plenty of rumors.
And those Pixel Buds Pro are also a day 1 purchase. I use my Pixel Buds A religiously lol

Amazing pixel still can support dual ring tone when you have a dual sim setup. Been waiting for this since pixel 5. But OnePlus and Samsung support with OnePlus is 👑 for dual sim . Samsung is ok at dual sim and would switch to pixel 7 if they supposed dual ring tone.

Love that faded green and gold. Looking forward to the reviews and how they turn out. Nice video. Keep up the good work. The watch reminds me of a that watch with the oil inside. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

I've been rocking the Pixel 3XL and I've been waiting for this moment! Super excited to see what the next gen has to offer. Be looking forward to your review MKBHD!

Honestly samsung's smartwatches have improved a lot and are a great option for Android users. It will be interesting to see how the pixel watch compares to them.

I'm excited about the watch...I hope it's awesome! I'd also would love for the tablet to be able to replace my iPad but I doubt it will.

Google assistant, AI, industry leading Fitness tracking, Health & Wellness monitoring, State of the art Tensor SoC on a Stunning design Pixel Watch. Checkmate! Google has made the Winning Move!!

Sundar is still wrapping up the keynote and we already got the MKBHD video 👏

The level of editing from this guy always amazed me 👍

It really does feel like we've been waiting an eternity for the Pixel Watch at this point 😅

I'm an apple fanboy, but the Pixel 7 👀 sounds kinda good to me

I'm looking forward for the Pixel 6a, I currently have a Pixel 5a as a work phone and I feel I need an upgrade!

For me the Pixel 6a represents that one thing I've been waiting for ever: a small phone with a good battery. Like, S22 has only 3700mAh, the Flip 3 3300mAh, that's bad, this new Pixel looks pretty interesting to me

The question for me is, will the 7 pro be a big enough step up from the 6 pro to warrant upgrading after only 12 months 🤔

As a iPhone user who have been eyeballing Pixel phones for a few years I'm definitely interested in the Pixel 7. The watch not so much, those bezels look horrible with the rounded design.

Pixel Tablet has me super excited. I've been hoping for a Google tablet since the last Nexus 8.9 inch was laid to rest.

The biggest hype for me is the watch! As I've been wanting a pixel watch since I got the pixel 4a. Really excited for what they've got in store!

Honestly samsung's smartwatches have improved a lot and are a great option for Android users. It will be interesting to see how the pixel watch compares to them.

It's great to see Google finally putting effort to make really good ECO SYSTEM like Apple.

The Pixel 7 / 7 Pro is absolutely beautiful.
Can't wait.

Definitely looking forward to the Watch and Pixel Tablet. Gonna start saving now:)

I'm interested in the watch for sure. I've still got the first gen Galaxy watch and it just doesn't do anything for me. I use it as a stopwatch and a step tracker. I don't sleep in it as it's too bulky and the charge isn't the best.
Before seeing this I was debating on just getting a fitbit as their fitness tracking is so much better than Samsung Health. However seeing the pixel watch has all the fitbit tech I'm now tempted to hold off and see what the pixel wat h brings.
F's for the iPod.

Apple user here- that pixel watch pretty much looks like what I’d always imagined a round Apple Watch would look like. I love it! Except the bezels do seem too big to me

I would have gladly purchased the pixel 6a if google had seen fit to include $3 worth of wireless charging, but of course they know that.

I've been waiting sooooo long for the pixel watch that I finally gave up and went apple for their watch. Now I'm stuck in the expensive apple-verse. I wish Google would make an exceptional watch so I can switch back to android.....but I was tired of waiting.

I was absolutely loving the pixel watch, thinking about getting one an all but those bezels are disgustingly large.
I'd rather get a smart watch from Samsung or any reputable smart watch company for most likely much less money with a better screen than this

The 7 looks nice but I'm still happy with my 6 Pro. A gel shield on the glass screen works very well. The latest cameras update seems to have made it take ultra saturated photos like a Samsung though so that sucks. I hardly wear a watch so I doubt I'd be interested in it. I also don't want to be reminded if I have high blood pressure or how little sleep I'm getting. 😫🤣

Quite excited for the Pixel 7 series. There's a few things the 6 struggled with (mainly battery and software bugs) but was still quite great, and I hope that the 7 improves on the foundation.

Might I suggest on taking a look at the Edifier Neobuds Pro. I'm really interested in your thoughts on that product, especially on its audio quality, anc, and transparancy.

F
ipod nano and ipod touch were some of my first and most loved devices. Going from trying to mow with a discman (non-skip, haha, right) to mowing with a ipod was worlds better.

Ive been wanting a smartwatch for years now and have been leaning on jumping ship to iPhone after 9 years. This new announcement is great news, but I'm also reminded at what a disappointment Google can be with their products. This Pixel 4a I'm on overheats when on video calls and shuts off wifi and is unstable til it cools down.

Man I’m the Google rep for my store I work for AT&T and I’m super excited about the new watch ! Definitely gonna be interesting

At points I have been 100% google for all services, but even I've given up
Took too long on the watch, and the green/blue issue finally pushed me away
They also give up on and/or revamp huge things too often

I'm really looking forward to the Pixel watch with LTE.

if the buds pro have good connection I might get them otherwise I'll just stick to pixel buds 2 as for the watch I'll wait till they make one with smaller bezels as for the phone I already got the 6 pro so I probably won't upgrade for quite a while maybe till I no longer get updates

I've tried two different android smart watches so far and most of the time I walked around with them dead on my wrist. Unless the pixel watch can last a solid 2 days on a charge, I probably won't bother. Something about charging my accessories, I just don't.

I love the implication that it's not entirely out of the question for Google to make a tablet with no screen.

I'm so excited for the buds pro. I'm still rocking the ones from 2020, and they are so bad 😞

Ive been praying for this Pixel-Watch since years. I will buy that thing day one!

great review; reviewer; quality voice for tech like few others; brillant voice

I would prefer to get a slightly used/almost brand new premium version of the pixel for the same price. A used galaxy s22 is also at the similar price right now.

The Pixel 6a looks like the perfect upgrade for my parents. Can't wait to see the review to make sure its what they need.

I'm looking forward to the Pixel 7 Pro and the Pixel Watch, BUT, I want the facial recognition biometrics and Motion Sense to come back... this is what has stopped me from upgrading from the Pixel 4 XL (I've had the 2 & 3 XL's prior to this) and my 4 XL is still working brilliantly!
Facial recognition biometrics is quick, no need to find a spot with your finger, works great in the dark when scrolling at night and more. Motion Sense is good to skip tracks while driving (not technically "touching" your phone) and it wakes the phone when you get near, and "flip to shhh" which I'm not sure exists in future models due to the lack of Motion Sense.

Pixel-head that I am, I'm looking forward to the 7 and watch. Will be going for the Pro version this time and the cellar Watch, if it's available.
Did I see that the Pixel 7 and Watch might be released at the same time?
Are they going to be released as a package?
Previously, Google have added a free set of Bose Bluetooth headphones with pre orders of the Pixel 5 and 6 (headphones take weeks to be delivered). Might they do a similar offer with the 7 pre orders?
A note on the all-glass cover:
Not a fan. It looks all the more breakable. Or at least crackable.
I have the 6 (already with a cracked screen) and it has a good rugged case and screen protector. I hate that I have to do this to my phones, but they just too fragile and I am a clumsy oaf.
I would dearly love to be able to have the phone "naked". Have tried with the 6 but it's really slippery! With all that glass there is minimal friction.
Does anyone else have this issue?

I'm excited for the watch also 😁. I really hope they make a flip phone

i hope pixel 7 will get a better selfie camera , improved video and 4k at 60 fps on selfie camera like every other flagship phone can do to keep up.

I actually thought the shot at 3:55 of the earbuds was from the MKBHD studio. Someone at Google is obviously taking notes!

What i like about google is their representation 😍

Great updates! Thanks for sharing what happened.

11:18 iPod "...probably one of the products everyone watching this video has at some point owned some version of."
After doing tech support for Apple products long ago I said I would never shell out that hype money for that hyped-up proprietary crap. And I haven't.
Not even once.
Thanks for all the details on what the rest of the world uses though. I appreciate your thorough evaluations of all things tech.

I am excited for the Pixel watch, though damn! I didn't notice how thick the bezels were until you pointed it out! I'll still hold off on purchasing a smartwatch until the Pixel is released, which at that point I'll likely choose between that or the latest Tick Watch Pro.

Dang I was really hoping they cut the bezel size down on the Pixel watch.. I love my watch active 2 but the bezels are so big.

Amazing sounds like the best idea for a smartwatch.

That hardware is next level quality 👌

I'm also looking forward on getting a pixel 7 pro 👍

F. I'm looking forward to the Pixel Tablet for sure, it's a space Google should have been doing something about for a long time. Also a tablet with g-cam would be nice for snapping documents, reference images and so on. Nothing too crazy but the less devices you have to cycle through while just at home, the better.

I've never owned an iphone,nor do I ever want to but as far as I'm concerned no grey could beat the space grey of the iphone. The pixel 7's grey/gold combo looks good so far though. Perhaps it'll rid me of my 15yr samsung addiction once & for all.

Wow.
Here I was thinking I should work towards upgrading my Pixel 3 to a Pixel 6... I guess I should just wait and keep going with the 3 until I can get my hands on the 7... Because my god do I want to use those earbuds and that watch 👀👀
Also REST IN PEACE iPOD 😭 what a legend

Good that they are bringing the watch, still hard to move to Google until Google Photos are encrypted at rest. But that's not going to happen. The photos are stored in a public folder and are accessible to anyone not just the owner as long as you have link to the source (not sharing link that Google provides to share, but link to actual file). Insane.

Since I got a Pixel I've loved the camera, the easy way it saves everything to Google Photos for free from various places I have or download pictures from and the different ways it randomly gives me Now and Then photo comparisons, Spotlight albums/slideshows on different people in my family or all of us together, a look back on all of the trips we've taken, even a montage of different hugs in my camera roll or combination of 3 similar pictures of my son sitting in his car seat from newborn to now - how does it do that?! But at my son's 5th birthday at Chucky Cheese yesterday one of the moms sent me pictures she took from her iPhone 12 and they were WAY better quality. But mine are much better outside! I'm really hoping the Pixel 7 camera has an amazing update for video and indoor crispness/quality because honestly with the features, I'd like to be Pixel for life.

I like that Google is trying to do it the Apple way to some extend - owning the whole product from hardware to software really is an advantage in performance and UX.
The Pixel watch looks cool but from what we see is not even close to Apple watch level. Same with the Tablet - will take some years for them to catch up but can only be good for competition

I'm kinda disappointed in the watch, I've been looking forward to it so much! But those bezels look like they take like 40 percent of the face, which makes it look a little off... Scrolling through things, the UI just disappeared way sooner than I'd like.. hopefully they have a larger size or it looks better in person because so far I think I'm gonna wait for the new ticwatch before I get into wearables

with the really bad experience with pixel 6 phones, are you somewhat wary that these new pixel devices would be so buggy as well? after finding out about pixel 6 issues, i just cannot get myself that excited about these new things coming out.

I, personally, think the pixel 7 looks pretty good. I want more phone manufacturers to go WEIRD with their designs, even the pixel 7 is relatively tame. Like, go crazy. Give us a small phone with a curved back to fit into hands better. Give us a circular phone like a pocket watch. Give us an industrial phone with a volume knob and big ass speakers but no rear/large camera so it's like a bluetooth speaker on the go. Give us a phone that isn't glass but metal and maybe powdercoated and anodized. Give us a phone that has a slide-out tactile keyboard (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE) I want the industrial designers to run amok. Do something crazy. I'd buy any of the phones I listed above over basically any other flagship, honestly.
Small phone - why are women's pockets so small? I need it just for that, honestly.
Circular phone - would keep me off social media which is good, and I love the aesthetics + vibes.
Industrial phone w/ speaker - I don't need a bluetooth speaker any more, and if my phone's gonna be big, it might as well use that space.
Keyboard phone - I. HATE. TOUCH. KEYBOARDS. And I love writing short stories and stuff on the go, so that might be a viable option to replace my laptop.

Galaxy watches are already pretty good competition for Apple watches. They're much nicer looking as well.

I'm going to have to wait for some really long-term, hands-on reviews for the Pixel Buds Pro. I preordered the Pixel Buds 2 on day 1, and after 2 RMAs I still have a pair of buds that drop out and go out of sync anytime I walk outside. I moved on to the Sony WF1000XM4 for a while, and then jumped to the Sony LinkBuds. Both have rock solid connections, and the mic quality on the LinkBuds is amazing. The size and weight of the LinkBuds is just about perfect, too.
I'm glad that none of this hardware was in the "and you can order it NOW!" category. I hope they take the time between now and launch to make sure the Watch doesn't fall prey to the gen-1-google-product curse. And with it launching with the P7, I hope there's some good bundle deals.

I'm excited about the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Watch. I had the Nexus 7 (2013) and loved it. It's exciting knowing that Google is getting back in the tablet game. The large bezel doesn't look amazing but I'll wait until the reviews or seeing it for myself to make my final decision.

On Pixel watch: 1) huge bezels, 2) the Apple Watch aesthetics design

Seems like Google finally making some sensible moves which they should have made atleast 5 years ago. But to continue the good work the devices should also match the expectations else it is back to square one

super looking forward to a pixel tablet and if it has good battery life the watch also

Keen af for the Pixel Watch, I really hope it lives up to expectations! Also Pixel 7, it'll be about time to upgrade from my current phone by then. As someone else mentioned, hopefully Google will bundle the PW and P7 for a competitive price.

Good job on this report. Proud of you, young man. Look forward to meeting you some day, Sir.

Would've loved a rear fingerprint reader on the 6a. The in-screen reader on my 6 is by far the weakest point of the phone.

Looking forward to having the Pixel family of hardware. P7 + watch + earbuds, aww yeah.

Still haven't seen a watch that I'd rather have over my galaxy watch active 2. This looks like very similar dimensions, it does all the same stuff, and it looks like somehow an even bigger bezel, that isnt haptic

Googles almost there man. It’s gonna be interesting to see how google builds off the pixel 6 and the tensor chip. I also predict the battery life on the 6a will be godly

I always see the Google IO first and then the reviews. But this year after watching the review first I felt you already the products in his studio. After seeing the IO I realized the images Maques shown of the buds are not shot in his studio.

I’ve been an Apple products consumer since 1983, but I’ve wanted to switch camps for the last few years. In my opinion, Apple has just gone downhill, and I’m no longer feeling it. I was all in for the Pixel 6 Pro, but Google did a horrible job ramping up production. I was on the pre-order for the Pro several times, but they constantly bumped me when I attempted to pay. When they eventually could offer anything, it was always the low-end version. Finally, I got so tired of their ineptitude I just stuck with the boring iPhone. 🤷‍♂️

4:55 I know it’s the same company but the beats pro fit have great transparency mode and sound better than the pros.

Probably gonna wait till the a series gets a 90Hz display. I'll be sold on the model which offers 90Hz refresh.

F.
Great vid as always! Loving that google are trying a new product marketing route. As you say - by owning the product message, google gets to be in charge of their destiny.
I think a next step for them would be to continue “announcing” / “messaging” features periodically to retain the hype. Then end with a big reveal at the event itself….not sure if it’ll pay off, but time will tell

I'm just so excited for the new pixel buds, the old ones are the best wireless earbuds I've ever used and these look even better!

I actually want to the Pixel Tablet to be successful. Google has to give attention to Android tablets, it's like they forgot that tablets exist and Android is not their responsibility.
Samsung alone has almost created a new Android version for their tablets, filled with useful features which are not present in Stock Android.

This guy radiates so much positive energy that he has tendency to uplift everyone's mood!!

A Pixel Tablet…
Hmm… if done right, it could be a true competitor to the iPad. Will it be, though? We’ll have have to wait and see.

Great now if only Google started actually selling this stuff globally

Iv been holding out on the wearables for google and FINALLY it is arriving!

I had pixel 3,4xl,5 it was great experienc. This year i gave samsung s22ultra a chance. And to be honest i dont regret it.
