Google Pixel phone likely to be the least important thing at company’s live event – here’s what to expect

Google’s about to launch a new phone, its first Pixel handset. And that’s just the start of it.
The company is expected to launch a whole range of new hardware at an event that will be livestreamed across the world.
It has been bigging up the event this year – likening it to eight years ago when it first unveiled Android – and claims that some of the things will be as important eight years ago as Android is now.
Rumours suggest that the company is set to unveil a whole suite of hardware for connecting up people’s houses and lives. Those include an assistant for the home, a headset for the face and a whole new way of interacting with Google.
The phone, it seems, might be the most boring part of the whole event.
