Now that everyone else is done and out of the way (LG, Samsung, Apple), its time shift gear towards Google. Based on several reports, they're prepping to unveil a plethora of new hardware on Tuesday. They're ditching (or taking a break) form the Nexus brand and introducing the Pixel line. All while continuing its 2-device launch like it did last year w/ the Nexus 5X & 6P. As well as updating some hardware & adding some new things into the mix as well. All of which has been the worst kept secret as far as leaks go but it is what it is.
The Chromebook Pixel & Pixel C is about to get some company within the brand name.
Pixel & Pixel XL
- Snapdragon 821 CPU + 4GB RAM
- Options for 32GB or 128GB of internal storage
- Running Android 7.1 w/ Pixel UI (new icons, wallpaper setup, and more) + Google Assistant
- 8MP front-facing camera + 12MP rear-facing camera

Google is really trying to push their own brand this year as they should. Curious to see how it all works. We anticipate everything announced will be available before or around the holiday season. The event kicks off at 10AM PST/1PM EST on October 4th. While we couldn't make it to San Fran this year, we will be reporting all of the news from there.
