Yesterday, May 10, Google had its Google I/O keynote day, giving consumers a look at all the new devices and software upgrades it plans to release this year. We’re here to give you the highlights and our top product recommendations, including the latest Google products and some established customer favorites.
Alongside other fascinating announcements, there are a handful of neat phones and other devices you can get right now or pre-order so you can have them as soon as they launch.
Google announced plenty of exciting updates to many of its tools and software, but the ones that caught our eye are the newest phones and tablets. Many of the older-gen Google phones and devices are still worth it and will likely see a significant price cut as the newer products launch.
However, if you’re looking for an upgrade this year, there are a couple of terrific new you can purchase or pre-order. The most notable release for this year is the much-anticipated Google Pixel Tablet. It has a large 11-inch screen, a powerful processor and looks to be every bit as good as other top tablets.
The Google Pixel Fold is one of the most anticipated smartphones, as it boasts an innovative design only seen on a few other Samsung smartphones thus far. Google developers have allegedly worked on it for 5 years, so we hope it delivers as a top smartphone of 2023. However, if you want a more traditional phone upgrade, the Pixel 7A is an affordable alternative to the Pixel 7 and boasts a few neat upgrades, such as a better camera.
Some announced Google devices, such as the Pixel Tablet, haven’t been released yet, but you can pre-order them. Others, such as the Pixel 7A, can be purchased today.
You can get ahead of the curve and pre-order the innovative Google Pixel Fold. It’s a phone with a compact flip design with the Google Tensor G2 chip that provides powerful processing and fast performance. The split-screen function allows efficient multitasking, and the triple-rear camera system takes stunning photos and videos.

The Google Pixel Watch’s elegant design makes it stand out as one of the sharpest-looking smartwatches. It’s already a fantastic watch for anyone with an Android smartphone but the upgraded operating software Wear OS 4 will improve the battery life, functionality and grant users more accessibility features, such as text-to-speech.
