Google has started sending out invites for its fall hardware event, which is set to take place on Thursday, October 6th, at 10AM ET. The event will launch the upcoming Pixel 7 phones<\/a>, as well as the Pixel Watch<\/a> \u2014 the company showed off both devices<\/a> at its I\/O event earlier this year, announcing they\u2019re coming in the fall. Google also says it\u2019ll use the event to announce new additions to the Nest smart home portfolio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s announcement comes just one day before Apple\u2019s Far Out event<\/a>, where it will reveal the iPhone 14 \u2014 you can follow all the news about those announcements here<\/a>. Since Google\u2019s last event, purported leaks have revealed even more about the devices, with both the Watch<\/a> and phones<\/a> seemingly making their way into people\u2019s hands. As 9to5Google<\/em> points out<\/a>, the company itself is now revealing a little more information about the devices, with the Pixel 7\u2019s product page<\/a> saying that it\u2019ll be powered by a next-gen chip called the Tensor G2.<\/p>\n

The leaks haven\u2019t revealed much about the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro that we didn\u2019t already know, such as the fact that it has an aluminum camera bar with two cutouts on the rear for the Pro model. Someone managed to unbox and boot up the phone<\/a>, but given that Android 13 has already started to roll out on other devices<\/a>, that\u2019s not really a novelty. Earlier this year, though, a Redditor got a hold of a prototype Pixel Watch<\/a> (allegedly, it was left at a restaurant). While it wouldn\u2019t boot, their pictures did give us a better sense of the Watch\u2019s size, as well as how it\u2019ll actually look on the wrist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 7 seems like it\u2019ll be a pretty straightforward continuation of the previous generation of phones, but there\u2019s a bit of pressure with the Watch as the \u201cfirst smartwatch built by Google, inside and out,\u201d as its product page<\/a> on Google\u2019s online store says. Google\u2019s competitors (namely Samsung and Apple) have been making wearables for years, so the company\u2019s entry has to be competent and at least somewhat competitive right out of the gate. So far, details about it are scant \u2014 we don\u2019t even know what chip it\u2019ll use<\/a> \u2014 but we should get a clearer picture come October 6th.<\/p>\n
