Alphabet Inc.’s Google will debut new Pixel-branded hardware at an event on Aug. 20 in New York, with the lineup expected to include several smartphones and a smartwatch, all powered by the company’s artificial intelligence technology.

Google is likely to unveil four new smartphones — the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold — along with the fourth-generation Pixel Watch. The folding model will debut just a few weeks after Samsung introduced its impressively thin Galaxy Z Fold 7, which goes on sale July 25 for $2,000.
