    Google's big hardware event is coming October 9 , and we're getting a clearer picture of what to expect from the show as the days go by. The event is promoted as the "Pixel 3 launch event," but the company's previous two hardware events featured five or more product announcements. Besides the Pixel 3, a Pixelbook 2 is a good option, and with the launch of Google's Smart Display software on third-party hardware earlier this year, it seems inevitable that we'll soon see a first-party Google Smart Display.
    As luck would have it, today MySmartPrice has scored pictures of the...

    Google will formally unveil its Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones on October 9, but that's not stemming the flow of leaks. Not at all. Today's Pixel 3 leak includes a set of alleged press images, and it looks... pretty much how we were expecting. We can't verify them, of course, but the photos depict both standard and large versions of the phone - and if they're to be believed, the bigger model will come with an iPhone XS -like notch cut out on the top. Otherwise, this confirms a lot of the earlier leaks , including a single rear-facing camera and dual front-facing lenses as well as bottom...
