Guess what, folks? Google’s got some exciting news to share! They’ve sent out invites for a cool event happening on October 4th. Brace yourselves for the latest and greatest additions to their “Pixel portfolio of devices.” The event’s happening in the buzzing city of New York at 10 a.m. ET. Yeah, you read that right!
While they’re keeping it hush-hush about the exact devices, Google dropped a hint on Threads that we might be in for a treat with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. If history’s any guide, Google’s been treating us to new Pixel phones every autumn since 2016.
They posted on Threads, “Fall launches can be nail-biting, but Pixel keeps the cool vibe alive. The wait’s almost over. Gear up for Made By Google on October 4th.” Isn’t that just the right amount of teaser?
In the Threads post, they’ve even got a quirky video with an iPhone chatting up a Pixel phone. The Pixel’s showing off all its cool tricks, like unblurring old pics, handling unknown calls with AI, and even live translating messages. Oh, and that iPhone’s got its eyes on the prize – USB-C charging at the iPhone 15 event next month. Talk about keeping an eye on the competition!
Now, here’s the scoop on the Pixel 8 buzz. Rumour has it that these babies might rock an even better ultrawide camera, with some AI-powered magic thrown in for good measure. We could also see some fresh looks on the display and design front, though they’re likely to keep things chill in the changes department.
But wait, here’s the twist – the Pixel 8 Pro might come with a contactless thermometer feature. Yep, you heard it right. A phone that can check if you’re running a fever? That’s some next-level stuff!
And there’s more! Google might just surprise us with the Pixel Watch 2 – the sequel to their smartwatch. Rumour has it this one’s got better battery life and new health-tracking tricks up its sleeve.
Remember the Pixel 7 lineup? Yeah, it was a hit. The Pixel 7 Pro and the budget-friendly Pixel 7A even snagged spots on CNET’s list of best phones for 2023. But the big question now is, can the Pixel 8 step up its game and stand out in the crowd? Even CNET’s phone guru, Lisa Eadicicco, is keeping an eye out for some snazzy upgrades to set it apart.
Oh, and in case you missed it, Google’s announcement comes right after Apple locked in the date for their iPhone 15 reveal. Apple’s bringing the heat on September 12th at their HQ in Cupertino, California.
So, mark your calendars, gadget lovers – October 4th is the day to watch out for some Pixel-powered magic!
