Google’s popular Pixel smartphones turn 1 today. To celebrate the birthday, the company plans to unveil two new models that will compete with iPhone 8 and iPhone X.
The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will be confirmed during a special event that kicks off at 9 a.m. Pacific today. You can watch the whole thing live right here.
Google’s surprise has been somewhat spoiled by recent leaks. The leaks gave us a decent look at both devices — and revealed some of their specifications. But the company has more up its sleeve, according to reports.
We’re expecting new Google Home speakers, a brand new Pixel laptop, and a refreshed Daydream View headset. It’s likely Google also will confirm new software features coming to Android 8.1 Oreo and the excellent Google Assistant.
Whether you’re into Android or not, it’s interesting to see what Google will deliver to combat the recent debut of iPhone 8 and the upcoming launch of iPhone X and the HomePod speaker, which is scheduled to arrive this December.
