Google Pixel Buds
Google Pixel Buds A Series is due for a refreshment, and this might happen in 2025. This will be important as Google does want to keep the budget option open for its consumers. Although there’s no word on this yet we might hear something soon.
Google Pixel Tablet Accessories
Something that has the least chance of making an appearance next year is the new Pixel Tablet. The plans for Pixel Tablet 2 have reportedly been shelved due to internal factors. However, that doesn’t mean the existing tablet won’t get any new accessories. Pixel Stylus, Pixel keyboard, and other accessories that keep surfacing online might get a release in 2025.

Android 16 OS (Early release)
Google has confirmed that Android 16 will roll out earlier than usual, aligning with the schedule of device launches. This strongly hints towards the August release window for Android 16. Currently, Android 16 is ready for Beta release in January with final builds arriving post-April 2025. A report by 9to5Google corroborates these claims.
Google’s next SoC
Google is reportedly shifting from a partnership with Samsung to a fully custom design that Google itself will produce with the help of TSMC. Leaks have suggested that the Tensor G5 chipset will be based on the 3nm process at TSMC and have a 1+5+2 CPU configuration. This will bring improvements in terms of efficiency, thermal performance, video recording, and more.
