Google’s next Hardware Moves: A Look Ahead
Remember Google Clips? The not-quite-a-GoPro that used AI to automatically capture key moments was released at the second Made by Google event, and felt like the company’s penchant for experimental software was going to extend into hardware.
Google never released another piece of hardware that was quite as Googley,but I sometimes wish they had. Made by Google has been more staid since than, and I think we’re in an especially conservative period now. I think an earlier Google would have already released a flip-style foldable. on the smart home front, they would have brought the latest Nest Learning Thermostat to Europe and kept making Nest Protect alarms.
Made by Google product categories today include: Phones, Tablets, Watches, Fitness Trackers, Earbuds, Cameras/Doorbells, Thermostats, Wi-Fi, Speakers/displays, and Streamers.
Let’s start with expansions in existing product areas.
At a Glance
- What: Predictions for Google’s future hardware releases.
- Where: Focus on potential new devices and expansions of existing lines.
- When: Looking ahead to upcoming Made by Google events and beyond (2025/2026).
- Why it Matters: google’s hardware strategy impacts the competitive landscape of consumer technology.
- What’s Next: Continued monitoring of Google’s patents, developer updates, and industry trends to refine these predictions. Potential for a more aggressive hardware push if market conditions improve.

It’s already telling that Google included emergency satellite capabilities in the PW4. Instead, design is what would set it apart, with a larger case allowing for more battery and possibly additional health sensors that have yet to be miniaturized.
The next portable Google device with a large touchscreen will most likely be a laptop or 2-in-1 convertible running desktop Android. I don’t think Google tries again with a Pixel Tablet successor that’s primarily a content consumption/entertainment device. I think a Pixel Laptop will nicely complement that upcoming market as a premium offering like the Pixelbook.
(While I’m here, I want to vent about Google abandoning plans to
