Here’s what to expect from the mega tech event of 2017.
1) Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL
It was confirmed by several major leaksters that Google will be releasing two new Pixel smartphones named as the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. Both the smartphones will feature top-end hardware and premium pricing as well.
The Pixel 2 XL will have a 5.99-inch 18:9 display and the Pixel 2 is expected to feature a 4.97-inch 1080p display. They both are said to have the Snapdragon 835 SoC, stereo speakers, Always On display, some new Android O Pixel-exclusive features, a single 12MP rear snapper, and an 8MP front-facing camera.
2) Google Home Mini
Just below the 24 hours to the launch event, the Google Home Mini speaker was spotted in a Walmart listing. Before the listing pulled down, the entire tech fraternity had enough of the speaker. The Google Home Mini speaker will retail for just $49, and the shipments will start from October 19, as per Walmart.
