Here’s a look at some potential announcements that may come up during the event.

Updates to Google Home

Google is said to be announcing a smaller version of its Google Home intelligent assistant, which is being dubbed the Google Home Mini. 

The Home Mini, according to Droid Life, is set to act just like the original Google Home but come with a $49 price point, giving it all the bells and whistles of the original, but priced competitively compared to similar offerings, such as the Amazon Echo Dot.

New Daydreams

One other leaked product ahead of the Pixel event is the Daydream View VR headset, also according to Droid Life.

Not a lot of information has been revealed about it yet, but it is expected to come in 3 colors – namely charcoal, fog, and coral – and be slightly more expensive at $99 versus current pricing of the Daydream at $79.

The Pixelbook

High-end Chromebooks are also said to be coming back, as The Verge revealed in a leak of the Google Pixelbook. 

These Pixelbooks will function as laptops, but can also be flipped around and used like a tablet.

In the case of tablet mode, Google would like you to purchase a Pixelbook Pen stylus for $99, though you can probably use other stylus pens as well.

The Pixelbook will reportedly start at $1,199 for a 128GB version, moving up to $1,399 and $1,749 for 256GB and 512GB models, respectively.
