After everything that's leaked, is there even a need for the Google event at this point 😬

I'm hoping I can trade in my S24 Ultra and get a good ish trade in value.

There might be a funny ad? I quite liked the one at I/O where she kept calling the garbage truck a convertible.

Pixel hardware always leaks. Not much is going to surprise us next week on that front.

Software might still have a few surprises. I am hoping for some demos of whatever new AI stuff is added this year. I keep hearing the phrase Magic Cue being thrown around. I/O showed a lot of Project Astra/Mariner (I honestly don't remember which is which) that is in development, but what do we actually get this year?

I will still watch the event, I like watching tech events even if I don't buy anything. I did it with Samsungs S25 and Fold events, Google's Pixel event last year and Apple's events every year. There is usually some small surprise, even if it's usually software.

On the software front, there is something called "Pixel Sense" it's described as a more personal assistant. Aside from that I'm not sure what else software wise there will be. I think the software is about the only thing that hasn't leaked.

I've noticed that the Pixel Pro XL will be getting a 100x zoom, I wonder if it will be better than Samsungs, because at 100x on my S24 Ultra, it's not usable. I wonder if they have found a way to make it better.

Also I'm not sure that the pre-order bonuses have leaked yet.

I’m hoping Google is going to show some new multi-tasking capabilities on the Fold devices. Would love to see some of the options available on the Galaxy Folds and One Plus Open.
 
I would love to see a black & white camera mode - like on the Nothing phones. Google Photos has some good filters, but it’s better to see what you’re taking in black & white. I’m even tempted by the Nothing Phone 3, even though the cameras are not as good as the Pixel phones.
