Everything from the Google Launch Night In event

Google whizzed through a lot of announcements.

The 30 minute event was delivered at such a lightning-fast pace, though, that you’d be forgiven if some of the key dates, reveals or announcements passed you by. Don’t worry, though, as we’re on hand to recap everything you might have missed from Google’s Pixel 5 launch event. Let’s dive in.

Google TV

Google kicked off proceedings with a look at Google TV, which is the successor, and essentially a rebranding of Android TV. It promises to be more helpful when you’re trying to choose what content to watch than some of its rivals.

The Pixel 5 has a number of notable improvements over the Pixel 4a 5G: it’s water resistant, has wireless and reverse wireless charging.

Chromecast with Google TV

Google Chromecast now comes with a little remote that allows you to navigate using either your digits or voice. Just press the button, speak to the remote and boom: your show will hopefully be found and begin playing right away.

The Chromecast comes in three unique colors: Snow, Sky and Sunrise, and is available for $139.99. The remote has dedicated buttons for Netflix and YouTube, too, and is coming to more countries later this year after a US launch.

YouTube TV

YouTube TV promises to take on traditional cable providers with the huge amount of TV it has available, such as ESPN, Food Network, FX and MTV to name but a few. It has unlimited DVR space as well, and a family plan can support six accounts per household, without any hidden fees or long-term contracts.

Nest Hub Max

Love cooking in the kitchen but don’t want to risk ruining your favorite device? Google briefly showed how its Nest Hub Max is the ideal sous chef, allowing you to watch the shows you love while you whip up a storm in the kitchen.

Nest Audio and Nest Mini

The Nest Audio and Nest Mini are powerful new speakers that can connect with each other throughout your home. Google said they spoke to sound engineers and audio specialists about what an awesome smart speaker should include and concluded that deep bass, more volume and clear sound were the three key things they needed to get right. Oh, and it’s available for $149.

YouTube Music

With over 70 million songs, YouTube Music got a push from Google during its event. Singer Selena Gomez talked us through how she uses the service, which now has genres, more playlists and the option to view lyrics. You can also collaborate with your friends to make the perfect track list, and get personalised recommendations.

Google Pixel 4a 5G and Google Pixel 5

Arguably the stars of the show, Google began by showing off the Google Pixel 4a 5G. It starts at$799 and is the “best of Pixel 4a with a 5G experience”. It has a larger edge-to-edge OLED display and more powerful battery as well as an ultrawide lens, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Yes, that’s a feature now.

Aimed at the slightly more demanding user, the Google Pixel 5 meanwhile costs $1,079 and is available in eight countries from this month. The Pixel 5 has a number of notable improvements over the Pixel 4a 5G: it’s water resistant, has wireless and reverse wireless charging – so you can charge your Pixel Buds using the phone – and 8GB of RAM.
