The leaves are changing, the pumpkin spice latte is available at Starbucks, and Google is rolling out the next iterations of its flagship products just in time for the holiday season. It’s definitely fall season. On Wednesday, October 4, we will see Google unveil a number of new products at what is expected to be a Pixel-centric event.

According to rumors and leaks, there are a few products we should definitely expect to see: The Google Pixel 2, its larger sibling the Pixel XL 2, a refreshed maybe re-titled Chromebook Pixel, and maybe even a new version of the Google Daydream. What we can expect from these products will remain to be seen, but as usual, the rumor mill has kicked into overdrive. What are you most looking forward to at the big event?

We're expecting a lot of Google Pixel hardware in 2023, and according to one new report, one of Google's upcoming releases this year is the Pixel Watch 2.

A report from 9to5Google on May 5 cites a "source" that claims the Google Pixel Watch 2 will be released later this fall alongside the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Given Google's past Pixel smartphone releases, that means we'll likely see the Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel 8 series debut in early October.
