Mid by Google
Summary
Hosts critique Google’s "Made by Google" event as wooden and forgettable, questioning its target audience and Trevor Noah’s hosting. They review the Pixel 11 series, noting minor hardware upgrades, new Camera Looks, and the removal of the temperature sensor. The Pixel Watch 5 is deemed iterative, while the "Highlight" feature and its earnest ad campaign draw mixed reactions regarding their practical value and marketing tone.
