This evening was Google’s Made by Google event where they announced a myriad of new devices- from the overly leaked Pixel 4 to the other devices from its Google’s Pixel and Nest sub-brands. But on this article, we’ll only focus on the best, funniest and interesting tweets from the event.
Today is Google's Pixel press event, and no one knows what to expect.*

A Google press event involves lots of journalists taking photos of Pixel phones using their iPhones.

The short announcement of the Pixelbook Go
Next up: PixelBook Go.
A thinner, lighter ChromeOS laptop. Redesigned, matte black, new keyboard. Starting at $649.
They absolutely breezed through that.

that was the shortest announcement for *an entire laptop* I have ever seen

On Nest WiFi
Google, Amazon: We’re all in on mesh router speaker assistants and will take over your house.
Apple: We’re cancelling AirPort, byeeeeee.

Do routers really need Google Assistant tho?

Here’s the new Google Mentos Buds. I mean Pixel Buds.
5 hours of battery life. pic.twitter.com/g3XNyzdJVx
— Geoffrey A. Fowler (@geoffreyfowler) October 15, 2019
2020 is a long time to wait
Pixel buds have a hybrid design. They seal the ear for tight bass. A spatial vent allows some air to flow through to reduce the plugged ear feeling. Pixel Buds don’t arrive until Sprint 2020 for $179. #madebygoogle #pixel #google pic.twitter.com/xks5CH7LW1
— Eric (@zeman_e) October 15, 2019
First up is the new Pixel Buds – 5 hour battery life, long range bluetooth and a new design. $179 and available in 2020. Damn that’s late.
— Marques Brownlee (@MKBHD) October 15, 2019
Sorry but why are we waiting for 2020 for these? Damn what is up with companies these days (not quite vapor but… dumb!) https://t.co/0t3Wm60wLK

Well, this is a fail: Pixel Buds not coming until next Spring. pic.twitter.com/jGeRr3FXSe

Pixel Buds are part of the "ambient computing" experience, offering immediate access to the Assistant. But what does that mean? Is it just a pipeline to the Assistant akin to a pair of plugged-in headphones? *Ariel voice* I want moooooore
— Florence "U4EA" Ion (@Ohthatflo) October 15, 2019
I think we have Microsoft to blame for the term "ambient computing," right?
— Shira Ovide (@ShiraOvide) October 15, 2019

Pixel 4 is going full-on with gestures with the Soli radar sensor…not use to using devices this way so I always forget this tech is there. Maybe if it works it will change that.
— Michael Kukielka (@DetroitBORG) October 15, 2019
That recorder app is amazing!!!
That recorder app is going to be heaven-sent for journos #madebygoogle

Watch out OnePlus, the Pixel 4 has a 90Hz screen refresh rate and got an A+ rating from DisplayMate.
Available in Just Black, Barely White and Limited Edition Simply Orange and it ships on October 24 starting at $799. #madebygoogle https://t.co/msoI5i9EXw pic.twitter.com/IgfPJgDvlk

how much money is this fucking displaymate guy making from these companies
— David Ruddock (@RDRv3) October 15, 2019
The smaller Pixel 4 has a 2800mAh battery. Now since it has a 90hz display, that battery life will be 2 minutes
— 𝚔𝚒𝚛𝚞𝚝𝚒 (@kiruti) October 15, 2019
The cameras especially Nightsight – Pixel phones take excellent lowlight shots when compared to other phones
This shade
Google running down the list of Pixel 4 camera features: "And a flash that we hope you'll use mostly as a flashlight." I'm dying.
— nilay patel (@reckless) October 15, 2019
Someone shared a seat with Phil Shiller
this was at MWC this year, so no, he wasn't like using a prototype phone. We chatted a bit about night sight, it was interesting! Cool dude. Easily doing some of the most exciting work for Pixel.
— David Ruddock (@RDRv3) October 15, 2019
Disappointment because of the lack of wide-angle mode
Ironic that my first shot inside the #madebygoogle event is made possible by a wide-angle lens we're not expecting on the new #Pixel4 😭 pic.twitter.com/5N6eaU0LAX
— Michael Fisher (@theMrMobile) October 15, 2019
On stage: “While ultrawide is fun, we feel telephoto is more useful”
…. I feel personally attacked
— Marques Brownlee (@MKBHD) October 15, 2019
Google says wide angle can be fun but "telefoto is more important"
Google clearly doesn't have as big an extended family as I do O_O
— Florence "U4EA" Ion (@Ohthatflo) October 15, 2019
No one wants a wide angle is certainly one way to sell the pixel 4 camera. Astrophotography as a linchpin sales point for night site is…interesting pic.twitter.com/HQ5tLN2zlp
— Matthew Panzarino (@panzer) October 15, 2019
Other camera features
“This isn’t mad science, it’s just physics” as part of Google event script talking about their HDR, is that a Phil Schiller dig?

Okay, so we're talking about sustainability and devices being manufactured with recycled materials. Cool. But. WILL THE PIXEL 4 BE USER-SERVICEABLE
— Florence "U4EA" Ion (@Ohthatflo) October 15, 2019
“We are looking at sustainability from every angle,” says Google.
But there’s no mention of designing its products to be repaired — or to replace the batteries sealed inside.
That’s bad for us and the environment. https://t.co/WOt03jPTvj pic.twitter.com/47ViSNtuNe

Okay camera phones are nice BUT ANNIE TELL ME ABOUT THAT DEMI PREGNANCY SHOOT
— Florence "U4EA" Ion (@Ohthatflo) October 15, 2019
Annie Leibovitz is here! She’s been using the Pixel 4 for photography for awhile. “I just let the camera do the work quite honestly, and really enjoyed myself.”
— mystery brunette (@LaurenGoode) October 15, 2019
she is also not a very good public speaker, this is bad! I'm sure she's a great artist, her pictures are nice! But this is a really bad "interview."
