While Apple fanboys and fangirls are still geeking out over iOS 11 and the new iPhone models announced at the Apple keynote event last week, fans of Android have a different date to look out for: October 4. This is supposedly the day that Google will announce the new Pixel 2, as evidenced in the video below. The video only explicitly says “stay tuned for more on October 4,” but it’s not a far leap to assume that it refers to the new phone announcement.
However, like the Apple keynote, the Pixel won’t be the only thing announced. According to leaks from Droid Life, the event will unveil four major products in the Google line, including a new Chromebook and new Google Home unit.

According to Ars Technica, “Google is actually splitting the manufacturing duties across two different Android OEMs, with LG handling the big phone and HTC doing the small one. As a result, the LG Pixel 2 XL looks like a modern phone with slim bezels, while the HTC Pixel 2 looks a lot like last year’s phone.”
