The Galaxy Note 8 is finally here and so is its near-$1,000 price tag. Due to the exceptionally high price Samsung is asking for, people are steering their attention over to Google’s upcoming Pixel smartphones. Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 are being produced by HTC and LG, respectively, and could be announced on October 5.

A fresh report from Evan Blass, who has been right about a lot of things lately, states that Google’s upcoming Pixel smartphones will be unveiled on October 5. This is the first word on when the phones will be announced, which puts the launch day some one day after last year’s Made By Google event.

Evan Blass, the one responsible for the news, has also concluded that Google’s second-generation Pixel handsets will be powered by an unannounced Snapdragon 836 processor. This is an unreleased model expected out of Qualcomm in the fall. So in other words, Blass is suggesting that BOTH Pixel phones, not just one, will be powered by this chipset, making the duo the first on the market to run what’s expected to be Qualcomm’s utmost high-end hardware component.

Google’s Pixel 2 smartphones could be accompanied by a mini Google Home unit, a Wi-Fi router with Google Assistant functionality, a new Chromebook Pixel for 2017 and beyond, as well as Google Assistant capable bluetooth earphones. If Blass is right, we’ll find out everything in six week’s time.
