How To Watch Google’s Pixel Event Today

Just after Apple held its unleashed event yesterday evening, today Oct. 19 Google is hosting a Pixel Fall Launch event where it plans to formally launch the new Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, and this time there are some significant differences. It’s scheduled for 10 AM PT (7 PM in Johannesburg, 7 PM in Harare, 6 PM in Lagos) and as with most events right now, it’ll be entirely virtual, but you can watch the live stream below and on YouTube.

It’s worth noting that the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have already been soft-launched, with both a Twitter thread and private media briefings, although both have been light on details. After months of leaks and speculation, this would be the first time Google gets to present its Pixel 6 story to the public directly.

How to watch Google’s Pixel Fall Launch event live

As is the norm for 2021, this is not a public event, but a live-streamed one directly from Google’s headquarters. Google is no stranger to live-streamed events, and the fact that it owns YouTube means that it’s well-equipped to run it, so you’ll be able to watch it directly from YouTube, either using the web or mobile apps.

Google announced that the event is a pre-recorded Livestream that will be followed with more information on Google’s official event page, making this the best place to view. However, it can also be seen on Google’s YouTube channel. Using the event page will make ordering quicker if the announcement proves to be as exciting as anticipated.

After several years of another new Pixel that is much the same as the one introduced the previous year, Google is shaking things up with an exciting new smartphone that might challenge Samsung and Apple on more than just photography. These are Google’s most ambitious Pixels since the company’s Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL debuted with Soli in 2019.
