NEW YORK — Comedian and television host Trevor Noah will host Google’s upcoming Pixel 11 launch event, the company’s annual hardware showcase scheduled for Aug. 12 in New York City, according to information released ahead of the presentation.
Google’s “Made by Google” event will begin at 6 p.m. Eastern Time and is expected to feature the next generation of Pixel devices. The company has confirmed the event date and location, while promotional material has pointed to new Pixel hardware but has not disclosed a complete list of products to be announced.
Noah, the former host of “The Daily Show,” will lead the presentation as Google continues using entertainment-focused formats for major product launches. The event is also expected to include appearances from other public figures, including podcast host Alex Cooper, cricket player Shubman Gill, actress Ayami Nakajo and NBA player Stephen Curry, according to reports on the event lineup.
Google has not provided detailed specifications for the Pixel 11 lineup ahead of the launch. Industry reports and leaks have suggested that the company may introduce several models, including Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and a foldable Pixel 11 Pro Fold, although those details have not been confirmed by Google.
The Pixel 11 event follows Google’s previous “Made by Google” presentations, where the company has used a combination of product demonstrations, software announcements and celebrity appearances to introduce its consumer hardware. The company’s Pixel smartphones compete in a market dominated by major rivals including Apple and Samsung.
Analysts and industry observers have focused on possible hardware and artificial intelligence upgrades for the new devices, but Google has not confirmed specific features, pricing or availability details. Reports have also pointed to potential changes in storage options and component costs, though those remain unverified until the company provides official information.
Google is expected to stream the event publicly through its official channels, with additional product details to be released during the presentation on Aug. 12.
