Google appears to have inadvertently posted a first image of its upcoming Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds on Twitter. These wireless headphones could be officially unveiled at the Google I/O conference, running May 18 to 20, 2021 and entirely virtually, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

In a tweet that was swiftly deleted, Google prematurely unveiled its new Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds. But was it a genuine accident or an intentional slip to stir up a buzz? Either way, it’s likely that the firm’s next-generation of wireless headphones will be officially presented at the forthcoming Google I/O developers’ conference.
