Yesterday Apple made the date of its next big presentation event official. It will announce the iPhone 15 series on September 12.
Today Google revealed the date his next big hardware event. He did it long before Apple, which makes us think that he wanted to “respond” to Apple’s announcement in this way. Anyway, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will be made official on October 4th.

Unlike Apple’s event, which will take place as usual on its Cupertino, California campus, Google has chosen New York City as its venue. Both events start at 10:00 local time.
Google says it will “unveil the latest additions” to its portfolio of Pixel devices on October 4 at the aforementioned event. This means that the Pixel Watch 2 could also launch at the same time.
Amusingly (or more likely intentionally to drum up hype), Google leaked its upcoming Pixel 8 Pro smartphone a few hours ago on its online store – you can see the image in question below.
The Pixel 8 Pro was leaked very recently and is said to have a temperature sensor on the back, a 6.7-inch 120Hz QHD+ LTPO OLED screen, the Tensor G3 chipset, 12GB RAM, 128/256 GB of storage, an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, a triple rear camera system (50 MP main with OIS, 64 MP ultrawide and 48 MP telephoto), an 11 MP selfie snapper and a 4,950mAh battery with support for 27W wired charging. Unsurprisingly, it will run Android 14 from day one.
The Pixel 8 will have the same chipset and Android version, the same selfie camera, the same storage options and fingerprint sensor, a 6.17-inch 1080×2400 120 Hz touchscreen, a dual rear camera system (50 MP main, 12MP ultrawide) and a 4,485mAh battery with support for 24W wired and 12W wireless charging.
