Google I/O 2019 is set to kick off on Tuesday, and there could be plenty of surprises on the big stage.
The screen sizes will be 5.6 inches for the 3a and 6 inches for the 3a XL, and the phones will have many of the same camera and Assistant features as the Pixel 3. It won’t be nearly as fast as Google’s flagship, however, as it will likely pack a Snapdragon 670 processor. It’ll have a headphone jack and come in purple. And best of all, it’s reported to start at just $399.
Just promise to act surprised during the big I/O reveal.
It’s been three years since Google unveiled Assistant and introduced us to Google Home, and in that short time the smart speaker has blown up. We’ve seen the launch of the Google Home Mini and Google Home Max, as well as the first Google-branded speaker with a screen, the Home Hub. And now we might be getting ready to welcome another member to the family.
According to rumors—and an accidental post by Google itself—the Google Home Hub will be getting a bigger screen and a new name: the Nest Home Max. Of course, Google’s Home speakers have always played nicely with the Alphabet-owned Nest devices, but the new name could bring a whole new identity as well. The new speaker is rumored to have a 10-inch screen, stereo speakers, and a camera for Duo calls, all upgrades over the fairly basic current 7-inch model.
