haven't been so much a fan of all the rumors we've been doing a novel products then you're gonna be very happy today because today's episode is absent of anything iPhone or Apple related at all I've got more news on the enormous Lea leaked pixel three in three Excel also Google may be launching their own smart display with Google assistant built-in and the LG the forty looks to be a five camera smartphone let me break down all these stories and give you everything you need to know here's the lowdown we have covered the many leaks of the pixel three and three XL extensively on the lowdown and check out our deep dive video if you haven't seen it already not much has changed since we last rounded up all the rumors but as we get closer and closer to this google event the leaks just seem to keep coming we're now seeing alleged press renders of the new pixel 3 and 3 XL and both phones look identical to the images and even the video we've already showed you here before both phones are in Google's own fabric cases which launched back with the pixel two last year and show pretty much everything we are expecting to see when these phones finally launch in just a matter of weeks we're gonna see a notch on the larger pixel three XL no notch on the smaller pixel 3 a single camera set up on the back of both of these phones along with a finger reader that looks to be sticking around on these new generation of pixel phones we're also expecting to see a glass back for wireless charging a new and improved camera system with super selfies and both phones will be running Android 9 pi out of the box we're still missing some details on pricing and availability and maybe even the introduction of a face unlock feature on these pixel phones but all will be revealed as soon enough when Google finally takes the wraps off of these new pixel phones and a new york city event on October 9th and the pixel 3 & 3 XL are not the only devices leaking from Google today we're also seeing new leaked images showcasing what appears to be Google's own smart display alleged photos of the Google home smart hub surface this morning showcasing Google assistants running on a seven-inch screen along with what appears to be a speaker on the back of the base that holds the display and Google has been working with manufacturers like Lenovo and LG for a while to put Google assistant onto home devices with attached speakers and screens so the idea of the company building their own seems kind of like a no-brainer and this device looks very nice there isn't a whole lot to learn from the leaked specifications it'll have a Wi-Fi radio built-in as well as Bluetooth a physical mute toggle and close integration with all Google services including Google photos and nest security cameras that can really take advantage of having that display we're also hearing some reports that the Google home hub could come with a starting price tag of a hundred and fifty dollars which would definitely be an aggressive price point in this more home market so I want to ask you guys this question would you buy a Google smart home hub if it costs only $150 do you see the appeal of Google assistant on a screen does this device sound appealing to you at all and what are you willing to pay for it leave a comment down below and let us know for your chance to be featured on the next episode of the lo comp LG sent out press invites last week saying take 5 hinting at something big coming to the next lg flagship phone the LG v40 thin queue is rumored to have a 5 camera setup on the

rumored to be a large almost bezel s display along with a dedicated Google Assistant button near the volume rocker on the side of the phone a fingerprint reader on the back we should know more about the v40 thin queue soon LG is holding an event in New York City to publicly show off the phone and that event is going to be before the pixel event this one being on October 3rd in the last episode lowdown I asked you guys what was important to you in a phone what qualities and characteristics do you look for when you go to buy phone and Windows Windows Master sorry if I'm mispronouncing that they gave this list I think most people will agree with one excellent display two excellent camera three durable metal and number four longevity software updates of hardware issues etc and I definitely agree with this list I also look at the display the build quality software updates see if there's any firmware issue stuff like that one going to by phone I think this is a list that pretty much everyone can agree on is important when looking to buy a new phone and that is all the tech news I've got for today thank you as always so much for watching and I will be back here on Thursday to break down the headlines and talk more tech news I'll see you then
