New Google Pixel phones, Daydream VR, and more expected 4 October

Google is said to be announcing a wrath of new products including a 4K Chromecast, Google Home, Daydream VR viewer, and two new Pixel phones on the 4 October according to sources.

The news for what is bound to be a “mega event” will see the company unload all that it has been working on, in time for the Christmas season.

According to Android Police:

“It will use the event to announce its new Pixel-branded smartphones Pixel and Pixel XL, a 4K Chromecast, fully detail Google Home, and reveal the company’s in-house design for a Daydream VR viewer device.”

The site also states that its source confirms:

“The 4K Chromecast will offer 4K and be called either the Chromecast Plus or Chromecast Ultra (makes sense – ultra HD) and the Daydream device may be called Daydream View.”

Two new Google Nexus phones have been rumoured to be launching for some time, however more recent rumours have suggested that the company will be ditching the Nexus branding in favour of Pixel instead.

At IFA, the consumer electronics show in Berlin, Germany, Qualcomm recently revealed a VR reference device that could be a forerunner for the Google Daydream VR headset. Available to manufacturers in Q4 2016, and expected in consumers’ hands shortly after, the so called “stars” could be aligning.
