Everything we expect from the Google Pixel event on October 12
Google will hold the Made by Google event tomorrow, where we will witness the introduction of the company’s latest phones and smart watches. There is also a possibility of releasing a stable version of Android 14.
In previous years, Google held an event in the second half of the year to unveil its latest hardware products, and the event related to 2023 will be held tomorrow. Until today, we have witnessed the publication of countless rumors and reports about the products present in the event of tomorrow, and in this article we want to take a look at them.
Pixel 8 and 8 Pro
The Pixel 8 series phones will be the stars of tomorrow’s event. With the introduction of the Pixel 6 series in 2021, Google gave a new life to Pixel phones. Last year, the Pixel 7 series arrived with acceptable improvements such as better camera zoom. Now it is said that the next generation of these products will be introduced with significant improvements.
Based on the leaked information and of course the official information, we know about the design of the Pixel 8 series phones. These smartphones will have a rounder chassis, a brighter display, a faster Tensor G3 chip, and better quality cameras.
The Pixel 8 phone will be equipped with a 6.2-inch screen and the Pixel 8 Pro will be equipped with a 6.7-inch panel, and the refresh rate of both screens is likely to be 120 Hz and their maximum brightness will be 2400 nits. These products are also equipped with the Tensor G3 chip, which apparently has 9 processing cores and uses the Mali-G715 GPU. The chipset will probably still have the Exynos 5300 5G modem; The same modem used for the Pixel 7 series.
Pixel phones have always been equipped with high-quality cameras, and this is also true for their new generation. The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are said to be equipped with a larger 50-megapixel main camera than before, and the Pro model will have a larger 64-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a new periscope camera with f/2.8 aperture.
Along with all the hardware improvements, there are rumors of 7 years of software support for the Pixel 8 series phones, which is unprecedented in the Android world.
Pixel Watch 2
Pixel 8 and 8 Pro won’t be the only hardware products at tomorrow’s event. Tomorrow, the second generation of the Google smart watch will be introduced. Pixel Watch was launched with significant problems; From old hardware to poor battery charging and various software bugs. Now it seems that Google wants to fix these problems in the second generation of Pixel Watch.
The Pixel Watch 2 will be equipped with the new and more energy-efficient Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip. In addition to increasing the speed of the new Google smart watch, this chip also reduces its energy consumption, which means higher battery charging. While the size of the Pixel Watch 2 display does not change compared to its predecessor, Google is going for a brighter panel.
In the software department, we have to wait for the implementation of Wear OS 4 based on Android 13. This operating system brings Material You design to Google’s smartwatch, as well as performance and productivity improvements. Google is likely to introduce several new bands for its smartwatch, including two metal bands.
Android 14
Google has released several beta versions of Android 14 to date, but the stable version has not arrived yet. Now it is said that this operating system will arrive tomorrow. In fact, one of the Canadian operators announced several hours ago that Pixel phones will receive Android 14 tomorrow; However, he removed such a topic from his website.
Due to this issue and the introduction of Pixel 8 series phones with the default Android 14 operating system, it is expected that this operating system will be released for Pixel phones tomorrow, and by the end of the year some flagships of other brands such as Samsung and Xiaomi will also receive it.
New colors of Pixel Buds Pro earbuds
Finally, there is a possibility that we will face new colors for Pixel Buds Pro. Of course, maybe Google will unveil a new AirPods. In addition, Chromecast 2023 or several Nest products may also be introduced.
