Fall hardware season is fully swing, and tomorrow, Google are going to be showing off some new products at its “Launch Night In” event. the corporate has already officially announced a number of what we’ll see:

Google are going to be telling us more about new Pixel smartphones (the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4A 5G), also as a replacement Chromecast and a replacement Nest smart speaker.



We already know tons about all of these products, partly due to the the standard pre-event leaks, rumors, and renders — and partly because people have already bought a number of these unannounced products off store shelves. (That includes The Verge; we bought the new Chromecast reception Depot on Monday.)



We’ve collected what we all know during this post. And you'll follow The Verge for the particular news when the event kicks off tomorrow at 2PM ET.



The Pixel 5 is Google’s next flagship


The Pixel 5 is Google’s next flagship smartphone, and Google has already revealed a couple of details: the phone is coming this fall, will support 5G networks, and can be available within the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, France, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and Australia, the corporate said in August.

As for what the phone seems like , Google itself has revealed a side profile of the device (see the image at the highest of this post). And Google Japan showed off most of the Pixel 5’s front during a now-deleted tweet on September 24th. A translation of the tweet said the phone is now available to preorder. (Narrator: it wasn’t.)



If you’re conversant in the Pixel 4, you would possibly notice that the front of the Pixel 5 features a conspicuous difference: the Pixel 5 doesn’t look to possess the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL’s larger top bezel that housed its face unlock technology and motion-detecting radar. 

It seems Google is returning to a fingerprint reader on the rear of the phone instead, as shown in renders from reliable leaker Evan Blass, which also show the the phone in seafoam green and in black:



Other leaks from WinFuture show more angles of the Pixel 5 and should reveal the phone’s specs. The phone will reportedly have a midrange Snapdragon 765G processor, which has Qualcomm’s integrated X52 modem for 5G support, but the phone will apparently only support the slower sub-6GHz 5G networks and won’t support faster mmWave 5G. 

The Pixel 5 can also have a 6.0-inch 2340 x 1080 OLED screen, a 19.5:9 ratio , and a 90Hz refresh rate, the last of which could make your phone feel smoother in day-to-day use.


As for cameras, the Pixel 5 is rumored to possess two cameras, just like the Pixel 4, but there'll be a minimum of one major difference between the 2 phones: additionally to having an equivalent 12.

2MP main camera that’s served Google well for years, the Pixel 5 may need a 16MP ultra-wide camera, rather than bringing over the Pixel 4’s zoom lens .



Google put a stake within the ground with choosing a zoom lens last year at the introduction of the Pixel 4. Marc Levoy, the previous Googler who led the event of the computational photography technology within the Pixel phones, even said, “while wide-angle are often fun, we expect telephoto is more important."

It seems Google may have changed its mind. It’s also possible Google will add additional software smarts to its camera, just like the Night Sight and astrophotography modes that it added in prior years.


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




The Pixel 4A 5G might share some specs with the Pixel 5


Leaked specs for the Pixel 4A 5G indicate it'll have a 6.2-inch screen, which might make it the most important phone within the Pixel lineup, because the 4A features a 5.8-inch display and therefore the 5 is rumored to possess a 6-inch panel.

(The Pixel 4A 5G’s display would sit in-between the now-discontinued Pixel 4 and 4 XL — the Pixel 4 had a 5.7-inch screen and therefore the 4 XL had a 6.3-inch screen.) 

But the Pixel 4A 5G may share the Pixel 5’s 2340 x 1080 resolution, meaning its pixel density would be slightly lower and therefore the display may look slightly less crisp.



Google is additionally rumored to be putting a Snapdragon 765G processor, 12.2MP and 16MP back cameras, and 8MP front camera within the Pixel 4A 5G — an equivalent specs as rumored for the Pixel 5. 

 

But the Pixel 4A 5G will reportedly have trade-offs in another areas, like a slower 60Hz refresh rate screen, a smaller 3,885mAh battery, 6GB of RAM rather than 8GB, a Gorilla Glass 3 screen rather than a Gorilla Glass 6 screen, and no IP rating for water or dust resistance. 

The phone is rumored to possess a 3.5mm headphone jack, though, just like the Pixel 4A and 3A before it.

Google has already said that the Pixel 4A 5G will cost $499, which may be a $150 bump from the Pixel 4A’s $349. It’ll be available within the US, Canada, the uk , Ireland, France, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and Australia.



A new Chromecast powered by “Google TV”


Rumors a few new Google-made TV dongle with the codename “Sabrina” have circulated for months, but in recent days, people (including The Verge’s Chris Welch) have actually been ready to buy the new, unannounced Chromecast off store shelves for $50, revealing nearly everything about the device.


The new TV dongle is named Chromecast with Google TV, and it runs the new Google TV OS (which seems to be a rebrand of Android TV) with its own remote , unlike any previous Chromecast device. 

Having a fanatical OS and remote are big changes for Chromecast, as previous models relied on users casting content from phones or laptops to observe on their TV.
