The main attraction of the event will likely be Google Pixel 4 announcement. Google is expected to refresh its Pixel smartphone lineup with two new additions -- Google Pixel 4 and Google Pixel 4 XL. It's been quite some time since we have continued to hear about Google's upcoming smartphones. In fact, Google itself has revealed quite a few tidbits about Pixel 4, offering a glimpse of what it could look like as well as some of its features. From everything that is known so far, Google's upcoming Pixel 4 smartphones are expected to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855+ processor, in addition to advanced motion-sensing technology powered by Google's own radar technology.

In terms of camera, on the rear, Pixel 4 will likely feature a square cutout similar to new iPhones. But unlike those new iPhones, Pixel 4 phones are expected to house a dual-lens camera. Similar to OnePlus' newly-announced OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro, display on Google's upcoming Pixel 4 line-up is said to deliver a 90Hz refresh rate, which according to 9to5Google should make scrolling feel smoother. Photos revealed so far suggest a missing fingerprint sensor from the rear.

Google Pixelbook Go

During the event, Google is also expected to launch a new, lighter Chromebook laptop device called Pixelbook Go. According to 9to5Google, Google has been working on a new Chromebook laptop called Pixelbook and the company is expected to announce its availability during the event tomorrow. The Pixelbook Go will reportedly sport 13.3 inches 4K display. The innards will likely include multiple CPU configurations ranging from Intel Core m3, i5 and i7 processors. The 'Go' variant will probably feature more powerful speakers than the original Pixelbook.

New Google Pixel Buds

Google is also expected to refresh its wireless earbuds 'Pixel Buds' line-up with a new addition tomorrow. In 2017, Google made its debut into wireless audio accessories with Pixel Buds. But following negative reviews back then, Google put its wireless earbuds plans on hold. But the report has it, Google plans to revive its Pixel Buds line-up this time around with a pair of new, upcoming Pixel Buds. With Pixel Buds, Google may have plans to compete with Samsung, Amazon and Microsoft.

In addition to new Pixel phones, Pixelbook and Pixel Buds, Google is also said to expand its lineup of Nest smart home devices tomorrow. Google will reportedly take the wraps off a new mesh Wi-Fi router as well as a new, refreshed version of its Google Home Mini smart speakers. In May, Google rebranded its Home line-up under Nest. Hence, all its upcoming smart home devices will fall under Google Nest moniker.
