In the year 2017, along with the Pixel 2 series smartphones, Google had also launched its Pixel Buds wireless earphones, for a price of $159. Now, it seems that the company is all set to introduce its second-generation Pixel Buds.

As per the report, the Google Pixel Buds 2 are expected to get launched on 15th October at the Made by Google 2019 event. The event has already been confirmed by the company where it is expected to launch the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL flagship smartphones as well as Pixelbook 2, Nest Mini, among others.

However, nothing much is known about the upcoming Pixel Buds 2 wireless earphones. It remains a mystery whether the next-gen wireless earphones from Google will have a cable running between them like the original model or if they will be fully wireless, similar to the Apple AirPods. Our bet is on the fully wireless design, given that most manufacturers are now launching TWS earphones and not the wired ones.

We also expect the earphones to come with support for Google Assistant, similar to the original model, allowing users to play and control music, get directions or make a phone call — all through simple voice commands.

The Pixel Buds, which were launched a couple of years ago, were priced at $159 and offered in three color options — Just Black, Clearly White and Kinda Blue. While details about the upcoming Pixel Buds 2 is not yet known, we expect the them to be priced similarly. To know for sure, we’ll have to wait a couple of weeks for the event to take place.

Google has begun sending out invites for an event on October 15. Although it doesn’t specifically say what will be announced, the date confirms earlier rumors that the Pixel 4 will be unveiled on the 15th of October.

The event will hold in New York City and begin at 10 AM ET but the venue is still unknown. However, it will be live-streamed on YouTube. We expect more details to surface soon.

Alongside the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, Google should announce a couple of other hardware products and also some software announcements. For example, the Google Home Mini is expected to get a successor which may launch as the Nest Mini.

The Pixel 4 series is one of the most anticipated devices in the second half of the year most especially because of its camera performance. The new Pixels will come with a 12.2MP f/1.73 primary rear camera and a telephoto lens.

The phones will have 90Hz AMOLED displays, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS storage. They will be powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset which will draw power from a 3700mAh battery in the Pixel 4 XL and a 2800mAh battery in the Pixel 4.

Both phones will have an advanced face unlock system similar to Apple’s Face ID, a Soli-radar chip for hands-free gesture control, and run Android 10 out of the box. So far we know the phones will be available in black, white and coral/orange.
