The newest addition to Google's signature smartphone series, Google Pixel 8, is set to launch on October 4, as per sources such as CNET and TechCrunch. Google has announced an unveiling event on October 4, where the tech giant is expected to reveal their newest "Pixel portfolio of devices".

The upcoming Google event is set for October 4, in New York City, at 10 a.m. ET. Earlier this year, Google hosted their annual I/O event, where they unveiled a plethora of new products such as the Pixel Fold, Pixel 7a, and Pixel Tablet.
