Google to hold event on October 4, possibly to unveil new phones

Google has a big product launch coming up on October 4 and a teaser video that announces the event seems to suggest upcoming devices. As you see above, the clip shows a search bar morphing into a silhouette of a smartphone. What’s absent is the usual Nexus name but this seems to back the many reports from the past that Google plans to drop the Nexus name and exchange that with the G logo you also see in this video. Earlier this year, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said they wanted to be “more opinionated about the design of the phones” and they would “add more features on top of Android on Nexus phones.”

These upcoming Google devices have been called Pixel X and Pixel XL, two new smartphones that HTC will make with 5-inch and 5.5-inch models, respectively. Not much is known yet about these but we should hear more in the coming months.
