Google has already stated that the Pixel 4A 5G will cost $499, which is a $150 bump from the Pixel 4As $349. Itll be available in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and Australia.

The brand-new Chromecast also is 4K/ HDR suitable, supports multiple user accounts, will let you match Bluetooth headphones, and does not have an Ethernet port, states u/fuzztub07.

We currently know a lot about each one of those products, partly since of the normal pre-event leakages, reports, and renders– and partly due to the fact that individuals have actually currently bought a few of these unannounced items off shop shelves. (That includes The Verge; we bought the brand-new Chromecast in the house Depot on Monday.).

The Pixel 5 is Googles next flagship smart device, and Google has actually currently revealed a few details: the phone is coming this fall, will support 5G networks, and will be available in the United States, UK, Canada, Ireland, France, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and Australia, the business said in August.

Reddit user u/fuzztub07, who was fortunate sufficient to buy the device from Walmart, has posted a video of the operating system in action. The video shows apps for video services like Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video, an app for Spotify, and a number of games that Google states you can play with a gamepad or the devices remote. Googles Stadia cloud video gaming service isnt supported, according to u/fuzztub07, so it seems youll still just have the ability to play Stadia on a television with the existing Chromecast Ultra.

My associate Chris Welch bought his Chromecast with Google Television for $49.99 from Home Depot, and u/fuzztub07 said they bought theirs for $49.98, so you ought to probably anticipate to pay about $50 for the gadget when its officially readily available. And if the truth that people have currently purchased and checked retail systems wasnt adequate evidence that the Chromecast with Google television will be launching imminently, 9to5Google reported that a “Sabrina” device appeared in Home Depots internal systems with a September 30th release date, so we d be surprised if it isnt made authorities at Googles occasion tomorrow.

Fall hardware season remains in complete swing, and tomorrow, Google will be flaunting some new products at its “Launch Night In” event. The company has currently officially revealed a few of what well see: Google will be telling us more about brand-new Pixel mobile phones (the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4A 5G), as well as a new Chromecast and a brand-new Nest wise speaker.

And Google Japan revealed off many of the Pixel 5s front in a now-deleted tweet on September 24th. Google put a stake in the ground with picking a telephoto lens last year at the introduction of the Pixel 4. Leaked specifications for the Pixel 4A 5G show it will have a 6.2-inch screen, which would make it the biggest phone in the Pixel lineup, as the 4A has a 5.8-inch display and the 5 is rumored to have a 6-inch panel. The Pixel 4A 5G might share the Pixel 5s 2340 x 1080 resolution, indicating its pixel density would be slightly lower and the screen may look slightly less crisp.

As for what the phone looks like, Google itself has revealed a side profile of the gadget (see the picture at the top of this post). And Google Japan flaunted the majority of the Pixel 5s front in a now-deleted tweet on September 24th. A translation of the tweet stated the phone is now readily available to preorder. (Narrator: it wasnt.).

The Pixel 4A 5G may share some specs with the Pixel 5.

Other leakages from WinFuture reveal more angles of the Pixel 5 and may expose the phones specifications. The phone will reportedly have a midrange Snapdragon 765G processor, which has Qualcomms integrated X52 modem for 5G support, however the phone will obviously only support the slower sub-6GHz 5G networks and wont support quicker mmWave 5G. The Pixel 5 might likewise have a 6.0-inch 2340 x 1080 OLED screen, a 19.5:9 element ratio, and a 90Hz revitalize rate, the last of which might make your phone feel smoother in everyday usage.

Considering that were already seeing the gadget appear on virtual and physical shop racks, it promises youll be able to buy the Nest Audio soon.

The Pixel 5 is Googles next flagship.

A new Nest smart speaker: “Nest Audio”.

Rumors about a brand-new Google-made TV dongle with the codename “Sabrina” have actually circulated for months, however in current days, people (including The Verges Chris Welch) have in fact had the ability to buy the brand-new, unannounced Chromecast off store racks for $50, exposing almost whatever about the gadget.

Weve gathered what we understand in this post. And you can follow The Verge for the real news when the event begins tomorrow at 2PM ET.

A brand-new Chromecast powered by “Google TV”.

When it comes to cameras, the Pixel 5 is reported to have 2 electronic cameras, like the Pixel 4, however there will be at least one significant distinction in between the 2 phones: in addition to having the same 12.2 MP main electronic camera thats served Google well for several years, the Pixel 5 might have a 16MP ultra-wide video camera, rather of bringing over the Pixel 4s telephoto lens.

If youre familiar with the Pixel 4, you might see that the front of the Pixel 5 has an obvious difference: the Pixel 5 does not aim to have the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XLs larger top bezel that housed its face unlock technology and motion-detecting radar. It seems Google is going back to a fingerprint reader on the back of the phone rather, as shown in renders from dependable leaker Evan Blass, which also reveal the phone in seafoam green and in black:.

Rounding out the reported specs are an 8MP hole-punch selfie video camera, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, a 4,080 mAh battery, an IP68 water resistance ranking, and 18W USB-C quickly charging.

Dripped specs for the Pixel 4A 5G indicate it will have a 6.2-inch screen, which would make it the biggest phone in the Pixel lineup, as the 4A has a 5.8-inch screen and the 5 is reported to have a 6-inch panel. (The Pixel 4A 5Gs display screen would sit in-between the now-discontinued Pixel 4 and 4 XL– the Pixel 4 had a 5.7-inch screen and the 4 XL had a 6.3-inch screen.) However the Pixel 4A 5G might share the Pixel 5s 2340 x 1080 resolution, indicating its pixel density would be somewhat lower and the display screen may look somewhat less crisp.

Previous leaks exposed that the Chromecast with Google TVs remote control would have dedicated buttons for Google Assistant, YouTube, and Netflix and a circular navigation tool at the top. While that circular navigation tool may look like a scroll wheel of some kind, it obviously can only browse in four instructions, according to according to u/fuzztub07.

The brand-new television dongle is called Chromecast with Google Television, and it runs the brand-new Google TV operating system (which appears to be a rebrand of Android television) with its own push-button control, unlike any previous Chromecast device. Having a dedicated os and remote are big changes for Chromecast, as previous models depended on users casting content from phones or laptop computers to enjoy on their television.

Like the Chromecast with Google television, this new Nest speaker has likewise been found on shop racks, and the product packaging exposes it will be called Nest Audio, will support Google Assistant, and will can be found in a darker grey/ black color. The gadget might support touch controls, according to a picture taken by a reddit user who states they really bought the Nest Audio from Walmart. And a now-pulled Nest Audio noting on Lowes site revealed the speaker can tune itself to a space with a “wise noise” function, which we first saw in the Google Home Max, and that it will cost $99.99.

Google put a stake in the ground with choosing a telephoto lens last year at the intro of the Pixel 4. Marc Levoy, the former Googler who led the advancement of the computational photography innovation in the Pixel phones, even stated, “while wide-angle can be fun, we think telephoto is more crucial.” It appears Google might have altered its mind. Its also possible Google will add extra software smarts to its camera, like the Night Sight and astrophotography modes that it included prior years.

Due to the fact that Google shared an image and a video of the gadget back in July, we currently know exactly what the brand-new Nest smart speaker looks like. The picture above display a blue model, the video listed below has a pink one in the background of one of the shots, and weve likewise seen a grey one in a regulatory filing.
