Microsoft, Google Are Holding Hardware Events Next Month 7

Microsoft and Google are holding hardware events next month for the Surface computers and Pixel smartphones, respectively. According to TechCrunch, Microsoft is expected to refresh some of its existing products, like the Surface Pro and Studio, on October 2 at 4:00 PM EST in New York City. It's possible we'll see some new additions to the Surface family, but Microsoft did recently announced the Surface Go a couple weeks ago, so it will be off the list. The event tagline is "a moment of your time," which may mean a Surface Watch could be unveiled at the event.

As for Google, they're expected to announce the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, and possibly a new Pixelbook, which runs ChromeOS. The tagline for this event is "I [heart] NY," hinting at the Pixel 3 with the numeral in the heart emojicon. The event will be held at 8:00 AM PST on October 9 at Spring Studios. The Verge reports: The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are the third generation of the Google-branded Pixel line that was first introduced in 2016. In the past few weeks, hardware units of both devices have made their way into the world, giving us a very good idea of what to expect from the announcement. Both devices are expected to get some design tweaks, including a somewhat controversial large notch on the Pixel 3 XL and a glass back for wireless charging on both devices. Each of the Pixel devices will also have dual front-facing cameras and a single rear camera.

    It will only be the next precisely the same boring featureless slab of bling. At "best", it will be: Now in extra-flat (read: extra-boring)!

    Please don't post anymore, until it’s actually tech and stuff that matters.
    No, jewelry is neither tech, nor does it matter.
    Yes, this is jewelry. The electronics come last, and only serve to dazzle the user^Wvictim while he's being the gem in the data mine.

    More actual science news please. With an emphasis on tech and especially computer/electronics science. And wit

    Just give Windows Phone one more chance. At least as a tribute to it.
