Google’s annual fall hardware event is just a few hours away, where the company is expected to announce a slate of devices that have so throughly leaked that some of them are already being sold in stores.

But if you haven’t kept up with the rumor mill, Google is almost certainly announcing a new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, with the smaller Pixel 3 moving to a more modern 18:9 aspect ratio, and the XL to get a very tall camera notch. Both phones are also expected to get some other upgrades, including a new Snapdragon 845 processor, wireless charging, better cameras, and maybe even included USB-C Pixel Buds.

Also rumored is a Google-branded Pixel wireless charging stand, to go with that new wireless charging capability, a new Google Home Hub that would add a display to the company’s smart speaker, and a minor Chromecast update.

Lastly, there’s likely some Chromebook news on the horizon: Google is rumored to have both a Pixel Slate tablet and an updated, bezel-less Pixelbook 2 in the works, too.

As always, The Verge will be on the ground in New York to bring you all the latest news as it happens. Here’s how you can follow along:

WHERE TO WATCH
Starting time: San Francisco: 8AM / New York: 11AM / London: 4PM / Berlin: 5PM / Moscow: 6PM / Delhi: 8:30PM / Beijing: 11PM / Tokyo: 12AM (October 10th) / Sydney: 2AM (October 10th)

That notch and no headphone jack... no thanks.
The real shocker was the $200 Keyboard accessory for the Pixel Slate. That's 2 years of Netflix -- OR -- 1 year of both Prime and Netflix.

Sure I don't like the design next to the Notch area of the P3XL, but I prefer to understand instead of following the Android Herd of Hate.

The notch serves a purpose to house the dual-front facing cameras and speakers. If I remember correctly, fanbois wanted more screen and less bezel, you got it, without sacrificing sound or a camera. Win-win.

As for the no headphone jack, they are not generally found on Western Flagships devices. Also it should be no surprise, since they can sell you Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for a higher price.

Not sure what's going on with the Battery in the Pixel 3/XL, but might be an issue for users of task killing and phone boosters.

Edit:
The software side of Pixel is also impressive, alongside the use of a single rear-facing camera, none of that 5 camera rubbish.
