From Feature Phones to Gemini: The Evolution of Pixel

Welcome to the season 10 premiere of the Made by Google Podcast! Host Rachid Finge sits down with Shakil Barkat, Vice President of the Devices and Services Product Group, for an exclusive "State of Pixel" deep dive.
In this episode, Shakil shares behind-the-scenes insights into the brand-new #Pixel11 lineup and the fifth-generation #PixelWatch. Learn how Google AI is driving next-generation features like Magic Capture, Rambler, and Halo, and find out why the new Titan M3 security chip is built to withstand the future of quantum computing. Plus, Shakil reveals why the team still insists on doing live product demos on launch day — and the "fear factor" that comes with it!
