At long last, we now know when Google will reveal the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro: October 19. The company today sent invites to the press for its upcoming virtual event, which will bestreamedto all at 10 AM Pacific Time.
Well, “reveal” is a bit of a stretch. Google itself has already given us asolid lookat the phone’s exterior design and announced its most notable specification: the new in-house Google Tensor processor.
The company has also given us a few details about the camera and other features. Here’s what we know officially so far:
Calling all Scaleup founders! Join the Soonicorn Summit on November 28 in Amsterdam.
Meet with the leaders of Picnic, Miro, Carbon Equity and more during this exclusive event dedicated to Scaleup Founders!
That said, just because we know so much already doesn’t mean Google doesn’t have some surprises up its sleeve. Pixel phones have always been more about the software than the hardware, after all, and we know little of what Google is planning in that regard.
It’s also very well possible that the company will have more hardware to announce. Rumors have pointed to a folding Pixel phone, for instance, since as far back as 2019, and evidence has piled up in the last few months. At this point, it seems likely Google is working on a folding Pixel that will show upeventually, but rumors suggest it could also launch in early 2022.
You can watch the Pixel 6 event at Google’slaunch siteon October 19 at 10 AM PT. The phones themselves are likely to launch shortly after the event. We’ll be covering the news as it happens, so stay tuned to TNW for more.
