Rumors up to now have led us to believe the event to announce this year’s Pixels phones would be on October 5th. It made sense, being just a day after last year’s keynote on October 4th. We can now tell you that Google is in fact holding the event on the exact same date as last year, October 4th. First of all, a billboard appeared in Boston with “Oct. 4” on it. Secondly, Google just posted a video and siteconfirming as much.
The video imagines different people asking Google why their current phone does x, y, and z badly, all set to a neat music track, with the end line stating “Funny you should ask…Oct. 4” before linking to a new web page. There, you’re posed the question “Thinking of changing phones?” before the message “Stay tuned for more on 4 October.”
