In addition to the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, which have already received a lot of leaks, Google's Made by Google event in New York is also expected to include a further updated Pixelbook Go, as well as IoT application products such as smart speakers and routers that will be integrated into Google's hardware department and launched under the NEST brand name. It is also expected to include the new Pixel Buds, which will be presented as true wireless earbuds for the first time.
NEST new products
Last year, it was announced that NEST, which was originally operating independently,Merged into Google's hardware divisionNews, and announced at Google I/O 2019 this yearNest Hub MaxAfter that, there have been reports that Google plans to change the name of the original Google Home smart speaker toChange to NESTThe Made by Google conference is expected to unveil the new smart speaker, NEST Mini, which will obviously be an upgraded version of the previous Google Home Mini. It is not yet confirmed whether the standard Google Home will also be renamed NEST.
Another product that will also be renamed is the wireless router originally called Google WiFi. It may be replaced with the name NEST WiFi and add the Google Assistant digital assistant service, allowing users to adjust home network settings directly through voice control and even optimize applications for connecting to Google Internet of Things devices.
Will there be any additional new products? We cannot confirm this at this time.
New Google Assistant digital assistant service
Just as Amazon continues to strengthen its Alexa digital assistant service, Google has also continued toEnhance Google Assistant application performanceFor example, the addition of Duplex technology that can simulate real-life spoken interaction, and the direct question function that may be used for the first time in Pixel 4, as well as enhanced understanding of real sentences, continued conversations, or support for more languages and opening up more areas of use may all be the focus of this press conference.
Apart from the possibility of requiring the use of specific hardware components for computing acceleration, in theory all Google Assistant digital assistant service functions can be used on most Android phones. As long as the operating system version is not lower than 4.0, they should be able to get the update.
New Pixelbook Go
Following the launch in 2017PixelbookLater, Google confirmedHalt the development of tablet devices, so this year we chose to launchNew Pixelbook Go, and presented in the form of a traditional laptop, perhaps hoping to further expand the Chrome OS device application market.
Judging from the word "Go" in the product name, it may adopt a low-price setting to attract more users in emerging markets. It is also expected to be equipped with many Chrome OS-related application services and provide a lower network traffic usage model, allowing users to obtain more information services through the Internet.
New Pixel Buds
While the new Pixel 4 phone may not provide additional earphone accessories, it is expected that Google will also prepare to launchNew Pixel Buds headphonesCompared with the previous version, it is more focused on the design of true wireless headphones, and is expected to add better sound quality, decoding and playback effects, as well as Google Assistant digital assistant service application or instant translation functions.
Manufacturers such as Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon have all begun to focus on the development of headphone accessories. Naturally, Google will also use its headphone products to strengthen the operation mode of natural interaction with the phone through sound. Combined with the Soli floating gesture operation function added to the Pixel 4 series of mobile phones, users can operate the phone more easily in operation modes other than touch.
Pixel 4 series phones
Before the launch, almost all the news about the new phone had been revealed in advance, and it even made people wonder whether Google had instructed them to release the relevant information.Pixel 4 series, will be divided into two phones, Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, with 5.7-inch OLED screen and 6.3-inch OLED screen respectively, both supporting Smooth Display screen specifications with 90Hz frame refresh rate design. Both are equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, and are equipped with 6GB of memory and 64GB of storage capacity (128GB storage capacity specification option is expected), and the battery capacity is 2800mAh and 3700mAh respectively.
In terms of artificial intelligence technology applications, the Pixel Visual Core image processor previously installed in the Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 series is expected to be renamed Pixel Neural Core, which may provide acceleration effects in artificial intelligence technology calculations.
In terms of cameras, both new phones are equipped with an 800-megapixel video camera and a dual-lens main camera design with a 1200-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 1600-megapixel telephoto lens. The video camera will provide a 3D portrait unlocking function comparable to Apple's Face ID, and will also be equipped with the "Motion Sense" function using the ultrasonic-based Soli floating gesture recognition technology.
The Pixel 4 series also supports a feature that uses built-in sensors to identify accidents like vehicle collisions and automatically dial emergency numbers to notify the police, hospitals, or emergency contacts. The new version of the Google Assistant app is expected to include the ability to ask questions directly by picking up the phone, eliminating the need to pre-activate the Assistant with "Hey, Google" or "Ok, Google."
Color options are expected to be "Just Black," "Very White," "Not Pink," and "So Orange." Regarding pricing, previous reports indicate the Pixel 4 series will start at CAD$1049.95 and CAD$1199.95 in Canada, respectively. This translates to approximately NT$2 and NT$4400, respectively.
In addition to launching the Pixel 4 series of phones, Google is also expected to announce the withdrawal of the Pixel 3 from the market at the press conference, retaining only the Pixel 3a as an entry-level model.
"One More Thing"?
Although Google is not as likely to announce its final product as Apple in the past with the form of "One More Thing", Microsoft held a press conference in New York earlier with the final productSurface DuoAs a final surprise, Google may also reveal relevant information this time, but there may not be any specific products that can be put on the market.
According to previous news, Google may announce the future development direction of 5G network applications, which may includePixel phones with 5G connectivity, or the ongoing collaboration with SamsungDesign ideas for mobile phones with foldable screens, but the specific details will still be based on the information announced at the press conference.
