How To Watch Google’s Pixel 3 Event The #MadeByGoogle event is just around the corner. And even though all of the Pixel and Pixel XL leaks makes it feel like we’ve kinda seen most of the show already, we’re still pumped. This is how you can watch all of the action unfold in Australia. The event kicks off in New York City at 02:00 AEDT on October 10. Unlike Apple’s event last month, you can watch it live on YouTube, and the video is right here: As to what to expect, we already know way more than we’re supposed to about the Pixel and Pixel XL. They’ve even allegedly shown up for sale in Hong Kong, as shown in a video with Engadget editor Richard Lai. While there have also been rumours about a Pixel Mini, some more solid bets come in the form of a Chrome OS tablet called the Pixel Slate, an updated Chromecast, Pixel Buds 2 and perhaps even a new Google Home Hub. In any case, we’ll know for sure by this time tomorrow.<doc-sep>Google will officially unveil its Pixel 3 at an event next Tuesday, but the device has already been thoroughly leaked in the last couple of weeks. Now, it appears that a Hong Kong retailer has already begun to sell the device, according to Engadget, which got its hands on a Pixel 3 XL. Engadget editor Richard Lai obtained the device from a Hong Kong retailer, and it appears to be the real thing. The phone has been thoroughly leaked in the lead up its launch, showing off the screen, colors, wireless charging capabilities, cameras, and more. Lai put together a video review of the phone, noting that the device he has in hand matches up with the leaks that we’ve seen. The Pixel 3 XL in question has a 6.3-inch screen, 128GB of storage space, and Lai says that the screen looks good on a sunny day. The video also runs through the phone’s gestures and some of the specs: it uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset, only has 4GB of RAM (he speculates that there might be a higher-end version with a bit more) and a 3,732mAh battery. Engadget also checks out the phone’s cameras, finding that it has a 12.2-megapixel main camera, as well as a pair of 8-megapixel front-facing cameras, which allows it to take extra-wide shots. Google will hold its Pixel 3 event on Tuesday, October 9th, starting at 11AM ET.<doc-sep>You’d have to be living under a rock to ignore the tremendous number of Pixel 3 leaks this year, and Google is fully aware of what’s been going on. Today, a brief teaser video was released on Twitter addressing those leaks, and maybe teasing some things we don’t know… It should come as no surprise that Google is playing with the Pixel leaks as a marketing tactic. In a brief video on Twitter, the company pulls clips from a handful of tech reports and YouTube personalities to poke fun at the leaks. If you’ll recall, one YouTuber who was contacted about this sort of video talked about his involvement not long ago. In the accompanying tweet, Google teases “So you think you know…” Of course, this has managed to stir up fans across the social network with plenty of speculation forming. Many users are pointing to this as Google saying we’re going to get some big surprises tomorrow, and as possible as that is, it’s probably not going to be a third phone or anything like that. Recent retail packaging leaks essentially rule that out. Either way you want to look at it, it’s fun to see Google poking fun at these Pixel 3 leaks in a video like this. More than likely a similar video will be shown at the event itself ahead of the Pixel devices being launched. We’ll be at the NYC event with live coverage, so stay tuned! So you think you know… Tune in tomorrow to see for yourself. https://t.co/4zTwRXcn1x #madebygoogle pic.twitter.com/3IO3xaMaP8 — Made by Google (@madebygoogle) October 8, 2018 More on Google Pixel 3: Check out 9to5Google on YouTube for more news: FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.

But thanks to countless leaks, reports, tweets, and information from our own sources over the last several months, we have a really good idea at this point what the Made by Google event 2018 has in store. We can confidently say you should expect to see the new Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL, a Google Pixel Slate tablet, a Google Home Hub Smart Display, and more. Update 10/8: Given that tomorrow is the October 9th event in New York City, this story has been updated with all the latest leaks and details about Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL, Google Home Hub, Google Pixel Slate, and more. Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL The first and most obvious new product launching at the Made by Google event 2018 is the much-leaked Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL. As is the case every year, the Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL will pack lots of upgrades over last year’s models. Many other things are also likely to be familiar, because it is an annual flagship smartphone, after all. Just like last year, Google is launching two new phones that have identical internal specs and slightly different external appearances. The larger of the two phones, the Google Pixel 3 XL, will most visibly have much bigger overall size, a large bottom chin, and a display cutout, while the smaller Google Pixel 3 is sticking with a more traditional look — not dissimilar from that of the Pixel 2 XL. Many of the things that you know and love about the Google Pixel are back again this year. Google’s signature “glass window” is located around back (this time a more artificial cut out to allow for an all-glass back and wireless charging), both phones mark the return of squeezable sides, there’s the Pixel Imprint fingerprint sensor on the back, and once again, you should expect some of the best cameras in the smartphone space. Official render of Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL in pink In fact, the camera — specifically the front-facing one — is one of the most obvious changes this year. The Google Pixel 3 XL has a large notch to hold not one but two front-facing sensors, one of which is a wide-angle lens as we reported. The back will house the standard single shooter we’ve seen for the last two years, but keep in mind that most of the camera prowess on the Pixel is due to computational photography. That’s likely only going to be better this year. The Google Pixel 3 XL leaked in the flesh in its white colorway On the specs front, you should expect pretty much business-as-usual for a 2018 Android flagship. Both phones will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, an Adreno 630 GPU, 4GB of RAM, 64GB or 128GB of storage, decent-sized batteries, good — albeit very different — displays, the usual WiFi, NFC, GPS, eSIM, and other interfaces, and more. The biggest selling point for the Pixel phones has long been their software, and that’s not changing here. You’ll get Android 9 Pie and Google’s infusion of AI features everywhere. The phones are going to go up for pre-order immediately following the 10/9 event, and amazingly, despite how much they’ve leaked, we still don’t know much about pricing for either phones. We have some hints from Canadian carriers and sellers, but it’s generally a fool’s errand to try and convert those to their USD counterparts. I’d expect them to be about on par with last year, though: $649 for the smaller and $849 for the larger. Largely thanks to devices being sold on the black market in Ukraine and around the world, this is perhaps one of the most leaked devices in history. You can check out our full roundup on every single leak we’ve seen so far right here. There have been more than a dozen examples of both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL leaking in the flesh, and we’ve seen official-looking renders from multiple reliable sources as well.

The device, called the Google Home Hub, has actually leaked in its entirety in the weeks running up to the October Google event. Essentially, it’s a tablet-esque 7-inch display mounted on a speaker base with a design similar to other Google Home products you already know. It’s going to be available in both black and white, as you can see in official press renders that leaked: Not only did we get full official-looking renders of both colors of the device, but the Google Home Hub specification pages also leaked. The device has a volume rocker on the back-left side, a switch to turn off the microphone, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an ambient light and color sense, and it weighs in at 480g. In the retail box, the leaked page we saw last month says you’ll get the Home Hub, a power adapter, a quick start manual, and the warranty booklet. On the software side of things, you’ll be able to do just about everything that you can do with the current lineup of Smart Displays. You can get weather, traffic, and relevant information for the wide variety of Google Assistant tasks on its display alongside the usual verbal feedback. You might expect that Google will have some special features here to differentiate the product, but there’s one thing in particular we know it won’t have: Duo calling. There’s no camera on this device. Unlike the rest of the products in this roundup, we actually have a clue as to what the Google Home Hub’s price will be.<doc-sep>
Google CEO Sundar Pichai speaks on stage during the annual Google I/O developers conference in Mountain View, California, May 8, 2018. Stephen Lam | Reuters Google is hosting a press event Tuesday in New York, where the company will likely announce its next-generation Pixel- branded devices, including a new smartphone. Here's what you can expect Google to talk about at the 11 a.m. ET event. Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones Mario Queiroz, Vice President of Product Management at Google, speaks about the Pixel 2 phone during a launch event in San Francisco, October 4, 2017. Stephen Lam | Reuters Google is almost certainly going to announce two new smartphones, the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL, which will succeed last year's Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. Over the weekend, Engadget discovered a Pixel 3 XL for sale in China, and found that it seems to have a lot of the same hardware as most recent Android phones, including Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 845 processor. It also runs Google's new Android 9.0 Pie software. Google might have new software features to talk about on Tuesday, however, and we still don't know the price of the phone or if Google has new carrier partners lined up. Google Pixel Slate tablet Google Pixelbook Google Google is also expected to announce its first ChromeOS tablet. ChromeOS is the software that powers low-cost Chromebook computers, but so far only two companies — Acer and HP — have sold tablets that run the operating system. A site named MySmartPrice leaked images of the so-called Pixel Slate over the weekend, and it appears to operate similarly to an iPad Pro. You can use it in tablet mode when you want to, but you can also plug it into a keyboard if you need to type longer documents. It also appears to support a stylus. Last year's Pixelbook (pictured above) started at $999, so Google could cater to a broader audience with a lower price this year. Smart display CNBC | Todd Haselton Google's partners, including Lenovo, already sell so-called Google smart displays. The devices use Google Assistant and work like Amazon's Echo Show, providing information about your commute, recipes, the weather and more all on a touchscreen interface. Google hasn't announced its own smart display, but another leak from MySmartPrice suggests Google will unveil a 7-inch Home Hub on Tuesday. More Google Home Source: Google There's room for Google to talk about more products, but we don't know what they might be. Remember: Google is now competing in the home against Amazon, Apple and Facebook. Amazon recently announced more than 15 smart products during a press event in Seattle. Facebook announced its first smart speaker, the Portal, on Monday. And Apple started selling its HomePod smart speaker earlier this year. Last year, Google launched its PixelBuds, which weren't very good, so it could have a successor for them. Also, Google recently absorbed its sister company Nest, the smart home company that makes gadgets like security cameras and connected thermostats, and put it into the same hardware division that makes all its other gadgets. It's possible Google will use this event to announce new Nest products. Finally, Google could introduce a new Google Home speaker — one without a display — to succeed the original Google Home, which hasn't been updated in two years.
