Google Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Watch 2 launch event set for October 4

Jul 30, 2023

Google has announced its Pixel hardware event for October 4th where it is expected to introduce the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Watch 2. This comes hours after the Pixel 8 image showed up on the Google Store accidentally. The company has posted a new #BestPhonesForever: Spa Day video.

It is not clear if we can expect new devices in the Nest smart home portfolio, since the invite only mentions the Pixel portfolio.

Usually, Google teases its new Pixel devices at the I/O in May, but this time the company has not posted any teasers, and we only have render leaks.

The Pixel 8 is said to come in “Licorice” (black), “Peony” (yellow/orange) and “Haze” (light blue), and the Pixel 8 Pro is expected to come “Licorice” (black), “Porcelain” (white/beige) and “Sky” (blue) colours, according to the leak.

A recent report said that Google’s Pixel 8 could get Android updates for five years, compared to five years of security updates in the older models.

The ‘Made by Google’ in-person launch event will take place in the New York City on October 4, 2023 at 10 am ET (7:30PM IST). Google will livestream the event on YouTube and the Google Store website.

Just like last time, we can expect the devices to go on sale the same day, and we can also expect the India launch of these devices alongside.
