Pixel 4 and 4 XL
The Pixel 4 will feature a 5.7-inch Full-HD+ OLED 90Hz display and a 2,800mAh battery, while the Pixel 4 XL will have a larger 6.3-inch display with the same resolution and refresh rate but a bigger battery, 3,700mAh battery. Both the handsets are powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC paired with 6GB RAM and storage options starting at 64GB.
They’ve both got “Project Soli” radar chips inside, allowing you to do things like switch songs, snooze alarms, or silence calls by waving your hand over the phone without actually touching it.
Google’s Pixel 4 uses hybrid digital and optical zoom with both its lenses. It’s shipping with four new features: Live HDR Plus, allowing you to see what your photo, complete with the HDR effect, will look like after processing. The camera app offers dual-exposure controls, allowing you to adjust brightness and shadows so you can get the look that you’re looking for.
Google has been using machine-based white balancing to provide more accurate colors in tricky shooting scenarios. Snow, for instance, tends to look blue with some SLRs, but Google is working to ensure that photos look realistic on Pixel 4.
Lastly, Night Sight has been improved, and it showed off the Pixel 4’s ability to take pictures of the stars. It’s using a combination of machine learning on on-device hardware to accomplish better shots than the Pixel 3 can achieve. The Pixel team says that it’s committed to making the Pixel 4’s camera better over time.
An alleged retail box of the Pixel 4 was also spotted recently which confirmed that the handset is going to come with an 18W fast charger, a USB Type-C based.
It’ll ship starting October 24th, starting at $799
Nest Wifi
Google Nest is introducing its new mesh Wi-Fi router system now called the Nest Wifi, and compared to the Google Wifi currently on the market, it stands out with a round cylindrical design, plus it comes in a few color options. Also, it has the ability to double as a smart speaker," Google Home". Google Nest is introducing two versions of the Nest Wifi: one that is a router that plugs into your modem, and the other (called a “point”) that can double as a smart speaker.
It will be available starting November 4th a pack of two will cost $269 and a pack of three is going for $349
Google's new Nest Mini is simply the next Gen or you may say a smarter Home Mini with the Nest's branding and double the bass. It looks like a Google Home Mini, but a few things seem to have been changed. There’s now a hole in its underside to let you mount it to your wall, and it appears to use a sensor to turn on indicator lights when you move a hand toward it. Google Nest says that it'll ship on October 22nd and cost $49.99, the same price as the Home Mini.
PixelBook Go
It’s been a while since Google shipped a higher-end Chrome OS laptop but with Pixelbook Go, they’re taking another swing at it. It’s got a 13.3″ display, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 256GB of storage, with the company promising around 12 hours of battery life. It’ll weigh roughly 2lbs, with a base model that’ll cost $649.
The new Pixel Buds will cost $179. Google says the battery should last about 5 hours per charge, with the familiar (Airpods like) floss-style charging case packing an additional 24 hours worth of charge. On-board microphones will adapt the sound based on your environment, and help to cancel out background noise like the wind with the help of spatial vent on the earbud.
Pixel Buds 2nd Gen
The new Pixel Buds will cost $179. Google says the battery should last about 5 hours per charge, with the familiar (Airpods like) floss-style charging case packing an additional 24 hours worth of charge.

Nest Aware
Nest Aware (which lets you add cloud recording to your Nest cameras) used to cost a few bucks per device. Now it’s a flat fee, regardless of how many cameras you’ve got. $6 per month gets you 30 days of “event” history (read: just the bits of the video where things are actually happening), while $12 per month gets you 60 days of event history and 10 days of 24/7 video history.
Nest Aware also now lets you put your Nest Minis/Nest Hubs into a security-centric listening mode, with the smart speakers listening for things like smoke alarms and dogs barking and sending you notifications accordingly.
They’ll switch to the new pricing structure in “early 2020”.
