The tech world has been abuzz with anticipation, and now we have a date to mark on our calendars. Google has officially declared that it will unveil its latest innovations on Wednesday, October 4, in what promises to be a groundbreaking event.
Intriguingly, Google chose its words carefully in the invitation, referring to it as an introduction to their “Pixel portfolio of devices.” While the invitation doesn’t explicitly mention the Pixel 8, a clever nod was dropped – “the w8 is almost over.” It doesn’t take a genius to decipher that the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are poised to make their grand entrance. Traditionally, Google has unveiled its new Pixel phones in October, and this year seems to be no exception.
However, the excitement doesn’t stop there. The cryptic reference to a “Pixel portfolio of devices” leaves room for speculation. Beyond the highly anticipated Pixel 8 duo, we may witness the debut of the Pixel Watch 2, a timepiece that tech enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting.
As for those hoping for surprises like the Pixel Fold 2 or the Pixel Tablet 2, it’s probably best not to hold your breath. Google’s recent product launches suggest these devices aren’t quite ready for their moment in the spotlight.
But fear not, the Pixel 8 series promises to be nothing short of spectacular. Leaks have hinted at major camera upgrades and a more robust chipset. The Pixel 8 Pro may even come equipped with a temperature sensor, pushing the boundaries of smartphone capabilities. These smartphones are poised not only to redefine the Pixel series but to set new standards in the smartphone industry altogether.
If you can’t make it to the live event in New York, don’t fret. Google has a tradition of live-streaming its events on YouTube and its online store, ensuring that the entire world can join in on the excitement.
Mark your calendars for 10 am ET / 7 am PT / 3 pm BST on October 4, or 1 am AEDT on October 5 for our friends down under. The tech world is about to witness a revolution, and you won’t want to miss a moment of it. Stay tuned!
