Google to Host Launch Event Late This Month... Revealing Pixel 5 and Smart Speaker

[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] Google will unveil a new 5G-based smartphone, a new Chromecast, and a smart speaker at the end of this month.

IT specialist media The Verge reported on the 14th (local time) that Google sent out invitations containing the phrase, "We invite you to learn about our new Chromecast, latest smart speaker, and new Pixel phone." The invitation, set against a black background, also included the date September 30.

Earlier, Google confirmed plans to release the 5G-based Pixel 5 by the end of this year. The company confirmed last month during the Pixel 4A launch that it would release 5G-based Pixel 5 and 4A models in Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and Australia. Both models have passed the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification. The domestic release status remains undecided.

Additionally, The Verge reported that the smart speaker to be unveiled this time is likely the Nest smart speaker that Google confirmed after an online image leak in July. The media mentioned Google’s hardware devices that appeared on last month’s FCC certification list, suggesting these are related to a new Android TV product, and added that it is uncertain whether they will appear at the event at the end of this month.
