From Pixel 3 to Pixel Slate: all the new products announced by Google

Google has unveiled a slew of new products as it continues to take on the likes of Apple, Samsung and Amazon.

The company not only revealed a third edition of its Pixel smartphone, but also a tablet device and a Google Home Hub designed to bring together elements of the smart home.

Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL

Improvements to the camera are one of the central focuses for the Pixel 3, with artificial intelligence and smart software features at the forefront. This includes a Top Shot feature, which the company claims can capture the best moment so you don’t miss it, as well as a Night Sight feature so you can take good quality shots in the dark without having to use the flash.

Google has added wireless charging to the Pixel 3 as well, which is compatible with its new Pixel Stand.

Design-wise, the Pixel has remained largely unchanged but you will notice a notch has been added – a trend set by Apple on the iPhone X.

Both devices will be available from November 1, with the Pixel 3 starting from £739 and the Pixel 3 XL from £869.

Pixel Stand

When the Pixel 3 is placed on the stand it will serves as a photo album, sourcing curated snaps from your Google Photos account.

Meanwhile, the display will appear more like a traditional alarm clock when you dock it overnight.

The Pixel Stand goes on sale from November 1 at £69.

Pixel Slate

The tablet uses the company’s Chrome OS – previously seen on its Chromebook laptops.

A camera is featured on the back and front at 8-megapixels, with the one on front adopting a wide-angle lens aimed at helping users during video chats.

The Pixel Slate is available from £549 and goes on sale on November 22.

Google also revealed a clip on keyboard for the device, that retails at £189.

Google Home Hub

Access and control of your existing smart home features – whether it be lighting, cameras, or a thermostat – are built into Home View, keeping them all in one place.

It can also be used for Google’s other products, such as YouTube, so you can follow a recipe and navigate through the instructions with your voice, taking out the risk of mucky fingers on the display.

The Google Home Hub costs £139 and will be available from October 22.
