Google IO: Pixel 6a, Pixel Watch and Android 13 unveiled

New Pro earbuds and upcoming Pixel 7 phones, tablet and software shown off during virtual event

Google has announced a series of new products as it looks to compete with Apple on tablets and smartwatches. It has unveiled a lower-cost smartphone, high-end earbuds and a watch due later this year, as well as Android updates.

During the keynote kicking off its IO developer conference, Google set out its intention to build a broader collection of own-brand devices rather than rely on third parties such as Samsung using its software.
