Worldwide launch for Andriod showcase gear

Google will unveil the third edition of its Pixel smartphone at ten media events across the world on Tuesday, a hint that it is prepared to expand geographic distribution.

Expected today are the much leaked Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL. The two phones will once again be separated by screen size, with the smaller one likely getting a 5.5-inch display and the larger one possibly getting a 6.7-inch one, when accounting for the space around the notch.

The two phones should be similar to their predecessors in total size due to slimmed-down bezels, less space above and below the screen, and a giant notch on the XL model.

Leaks and rumours have confirmed that Google will be sticking with a single lens for the main camera but going with a dual setup for the front lens as part of a new “Super Selfie Mode”.

Like last year’s Pixel, the Pixel 3 won’t have a headphone jack and Google is rumored to be bundling a pair of USB-C Pixel Buds in the box this year.

Pixel phones should get wireless charging with a new Pixel Stand charger. It is a wireless charger that props the Pixel up so you can see the screen.

Google is rumored to be releasing a screen-centric Google Home Hub. It is a Google Home with a screen. It’ll work just like Google’s other smart speakers except you’ll be able to see what Assistant is saying. Rumor has it that it'll cost $150.
