Google has started sending out press invites for an October 9 event in New York, where the company is expected to launch the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL. The event will kick off at 11:00 AM (ET) and will also be live-streamed via Google’s official channels for those who don’t want to miss any announcement made at the event.

The press invite doesn’t reveal anything else, but the ‘I <3 NY’ phrase and the numeral ‘3’ which forms the heart emoticon is anot so subtlehint that the event will be headlined by the Pixel 3 phones.

Google’s upcoming smartphone duo has been leaked more times than you can count on your fingers. According to all theleaks and renders, we now know for sure that the Pixel 3 XL will feature a huge notch up front. As for the smaller Pixel 3, it won’t sport a notch and will have a design similar to last year’s Pixel 2 XL, however, both the devices will come equipped with dual front-facing cameras.

Back in June, high qualityrendersof the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL reportedly based upon actual factory CAD files were leaked, giving us our first look at the Pixel 3 pair. Later in July, thewhitevariant of the Pixel 3 was leaked again, this time with whole packaging which showed theUSB Type-C Earphones.

Later leaks confirmed that the Pixel 3 pair will come withwireless chargingsupport, and a few camera samples also made their way online. Anunboxing videoof the Pixel 3 XL and leakedhands-on imagesof the Pixel 3 made sure that only an official announcement is left to be made.

On the software side, Google’s UX manager for Android (Handheld and Pixel), EK Chung, recently revealed thatgesture navigationwill be the only option on the Pixel 3 duo.

In the imaging department, the Pixel 3’s primary selfie sensor is expected to supportdual aperture, which switch between F/1.8 and F/2.2 to ensure that low-light selfies turn out to be flawless.

Also, the Pixel 3 pair is touted to come with an improvedPixel Visual Core chip, as well as a ‘Super Selfies’ feature. But that’s about enough for the Pixel 3 pair, because the company might also launch thePixelbook 2at the event.
