This year’s Google fall hardware showcase is set to be exceptional. Not only will the Pixel 7 make its official debut at this event, but also the company’s first self-branded smartwatch, the Pixel Watch. But what exactly would those devices contribute? Will there be any other surprises after that? We’re here to inform you of what to anticipate on October 6 when Google starts their broadcast.
Google has begun distributing invitations for their upcoming fall hardware event, which is scheduled for Thursday, October 6, at 10AM ET. The firm previewed both the Pixel Watch and the future Pixel 7 phones during its I/O event earlier this year, revealing that they will be available in the autumn. Both gadgets will be unveiled at the event. Google also claims that it will make new additions to the Nest line of smart home products public during the event.
Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro
The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, two of Google’s newest smartphones, will likely be the main topic of the event. They’ll mostly iterate on the Pixel 6 series, according to an official preview at the I/O conference this spring. Expect a modern yet recognisable design with a smooth aluminium frame that reaches the camera bar. A new Tensor G2 chip will also be available, promising enhanced performance for media, speech recognition, and other applications. They will utilise Android 13. The Pixel 6 Pro adds a third back camera, while the original model has two like the standard Pixel 6.
But what sort of performance upgrades can you anticipate? The subtle ones, it seems. According to prototype leaks, the Pixel 7’s base model will include 128GB of initial storage and 8GB of RAM, same like its predecessor. A number of early reports indicate that the Tensor G2 isn’t a significant advancement, with only minor gains in clock rates, power efficiency, and graphics. Kuba Wojciechowski, the developer, asserts that the cameras would mainly remain intact. If you’re coming from a Pixel 5 or earlier, this year’s phone might be worth the cost, but there may not be many reasons to upgrade from a Pixel 6.
Pixel watch
The Pixel Watch, however, will be the focal point for many. It’s the first official smartwatch from Google and will act as a demonstration of Wear OS 3. Expect close Fitbit integration with tracking for general health, sleep, and fitness. With an upscale-looking shell, and readily swappable bands, the company borrows certain design elements from the Apple Watch, but it uses a circular display like many other Wear OS devices.
Pre-orders for the Pixel Watch should begin on October 6th, similar to the phones. Additionally, you might need to pay more than you would with alternative choices. According to a 9to5Google price leak, the price would start at $350 and increase to $400 for the mobile version. That is considerably more expensive than the $280 Galaxy Watch 5 and just slightly less expensive than the $399 Apple Watch Series 8. The Pixel may be priced appropriately because it is positioned as Android’s rival to the Apple Watch.
Rumors of additional Products to be launched
Google has previously teased or is now the subject of rumours regarding a number of Nest smart home products. These include a basic Chromecast HD model, a new Nest WiFi with 6E and Thread compatibility, and a second-generation Nest Doorbell with continuous recording, according to 9to5Google.
If there are any surprises, they will very certainly be AI based. On-screen call centre menus and as-you-type translation were two of the Pixel-first software features that Google introduced at the previous year’s event. Even though some of those things won’t need a Pixel in the future, a repetition wouldn’t be unexpected this time. Google made AI a key selling feature for the Pixel 6, and the follow-up is likely to be much similar.
