TechGoogle’s upcoming Pixel phones are for the fans, even if its launch event isn’t

Google’s upcoming Pixel phones are being positioned as products for dedicated fans. That contrasts with last year’s Made by Google event for the Pixel 10, which was styled like a late-night talk show hosted by Jimmy Fallon. The phones had already been revealed an hour before the broadcast began. Celebrity appearances and awkward sketches replaced detailed specification discussions and executive presentations, leaving many committed Pixel fans confused.
