Google’s Pixel line has been announced on October 4th for the last two year, but that’s set to change this year with a new report pointing to an event taking place on October 9th in New York City.

The report if from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, a noted source for Apple leaks who has posted the info in a seemingly throwaway line in a report on Apple’s expected upcoming devices, saying:

Alphabet Inc.’s Google also plans to debut new Pixel phones on Oct. 9 at a media event in New York City, other people familiar with the plans said. A Google spokeswoman declined to comment.

Previously an entry in Famebit, a social media influencer marketing platform used by YouTube was pointing at yet another October 4th event.

This year, as well as the very much leaked Pixel 3 XL, we expect to see a smaller Pixel 3 as well as a second generations of their Pixel Buds and a Pixelbook with slimmer bezels and possibly even a detachable tablet model, and even a Google branded Pixel Watch (or 3).

Google has not yet begun inviting press to the event as yet, and given it’s over a month away we probably won’t see anything for a little while yet. Google has previously hyped their ‘Made by Google’ events so expect plenty of warning when they do.

    Is there any news on the baby Pixel 3?

    Nothing yet. I believe Foxconn is manufacturing the Pixel 3 XL and HTC could be on the Pixel 3 – could explain the difference in leaks.

    Out of curiousity, what things are you hoping to see on the Pixel 3 XL Dan? I’m hoping that there will be a better range of cases for the 3 and hoping that there will be an accessories bonus for pre-order.

    I’m always up for more accessories, though I tend to just use cheap TPU cases. I’d like to see a dual USB-C charger and headphone jack adapter in one like the Mophie one that never really came out (or worked) so you can charge your phone while listening to something with wired headphones.

    I’m also wanting to see improvements in things like the Bluetooth stack, lower latency touch response and also hoping to see less slow down over time.

    We’ll see how it goes.
