1. Google Pixel announcement
After months of speculation, rumors and leaked details on October 4, finally so far: the Google Pixel and Pixel XL officially unveiled. These successors of the Nexus series have Android as Google would like to see it: with the best hardware and extras such as Google Assistant, and the Pixel Launcher.
The unveiling will take place on 4 October, at 18:00 Dutch time at an event in New York. Most of the details are already leaked. For example, we know that both smartphones feature a Snapdragon 821-chip from Qualcomm, 4GB of ram and at least 32GB of storage. The Pixel is equipped with a 5-inch screen, the Pixel XL offers a 5.5-inch. They are both equipped with a 12 megapixel camera on the back and a 8 megapixel camera in front. The biggest mystery are the price and release date: it is not yet clear if we take the Pixels in the Netherlands can expect.
2. Chromecast Ultra, Google Home, Google Wi-fi
But Google has more announcements planned for next Tuesday. So, we expect that the company has a new Chromecast presents that allows you to output 4K images and stream. This Chromecast Ultra provides support for the higher resolution, as well as for images with high dynamic range, or hdr. Also the Google Wi-fi, a smart router with a stronger signal than the competition, is likely to be revealed.
in Addition, we expect that the final release date and price for Google Home, the voice-activated speaker. Home works just like any other Google Cast device and can be used for example for Spotify or Google Play Music to listen to. However, you can also ask questions or commands pass with 'OK Google'. For example, create a reservation at a restaurant or ask Google Home if there are still files on the hard route to your work. Home costs, according to the latest rumors, $ 129, cheaper than the big competitor to Amazon Echo for 179 dollars sold. The Dutch suggested retail price, we hear, probably Tuesday.
