Google has an event scheduled 4th October

Search engine and Skynet replicate Google are holding an event tomorrow which is widely expected to be where new hardware is announced.

'Widely expected' is perhaps an understatement, given the torrent of leaks that have burst from the dam in the last few weeks.

Most heavily leaked are Google's new phones, which are to be named the Pixel and the Pixel XL. These are 5-inch and a 5.5-inches in size respectively, and are the first Google phone not to carry the Nexus branding.

Other expected hardware includes a new Chromecast, which was leaked by Android Police. It Is rumoured to be called Chromecast Ultra, and should support 4K streaming.

Other goodies could include Google Home – an Amazon Echo type device which can receive voice commands to inform you of commute times, calendar appointments, and play music, among other things. This was first announced at Google I/O but information at the time was limited.

We could also hear more about Daydream VR, which is Google's I/O announced platform for mobile VR.

These are the main leaks and expectations to come from the event, but maybe Google has a couple of surprises hiding up their sleeves.

I will be livetweeting the whole event, so if you can't watch the stream but somehow can read twitter, feel free to give me a follow - @tominniss

Of course a complete write-up of the announcements will be posted on Voice after!
