Google’s October 4 Pixel event: How to watch the live-stream and read our live coverage
On October 4 at 12 p.m. EDT/9 a.m. PDT, Google will be holding a product launch event in San Francisco. If it’s anything like the one the company had on that date in 2016, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and other executives could preside over a flurry of hardware announcements relating to Pixel phones, the Google Home smart speaker, Google’s Daydream VR platform, and Chromecast.
Google will be livestreaming the event on YouTube—and Fast Company will be in the audience at the SFJAZZ center to provide moment-by-moment news, analysis, and hands-on first takes. Join us here!

As usual, the pre-event scuttlebutt for this Google event isn’t reaching the frenzied crescendo that’s normal for Apple. But there are some tidbits out there. VentureBeat’s Evan Blass has some facts and images relating to Google’s new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL phones. Over at XDA Developers, Mishaal Rahman says that the phones will have a feature similar to Apple’s Live Photos. And 9to5Google’s Abner Li has written about the new Pixelbook Chromebook and something called “Clips.”
Pixel 2 leaks: The bezels aren’t tiny… they’re smaller, but not tiny.
I’m hoping twin front-facing stereo speakers make it worth it. https://t.co/ZgvbEKqYV7
