What to expect at 2019’s Made by Google event: Pixel 4, Pixelbook Go, Nest Mini, and more

On October 15 at 10 a.m. Eastern (7 a.m. Pacific), Google will kick off its third annual “Made by Google” hardware event. For the second year in a row, the Mountain View company is hosting a press conference in New York City rather than San Francisco. But unlike last year, the event is expected to offer very little in the way of surprises.

A veritable flood of leaks over the past few months has painted a fairly extensive picture of what to expect. New flagship smartphones in Google’s Pixel lineup — the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL — are a given. (Google has confirmed as much.) We’ll likely see Nest-branded, Google Assistant-powered smart speaker with a wall mount, perhaps alongside a successor to Google’s mesh networking hardware for homes (Google Wi-Fi). An upgraded Pixelbook is a shoo-in, as is a refresh of Google’s Pixel Buds. And there’s a slim chance we’ll see Google’s long-rumored smartwatch reference device, the Pixel Watch.
