Hey guys!
It’s almost time again for the latest and greatest iterations of Pixel devices, where Google will show off their newest hardware and software upgrades to the masses.
The event will debut on October 4th at 10 AM EST (https://dateful.com/convert/est-edt-eastern-time?t=10am&d=2023-10-04), showcasing what’s to be the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and likely the Pixel Watch 2.
Rumors indicate signs pointing to a new Tensor chip in the Pixel devices, temperature sensors, Magic Audio removal features for video clips, and even a Qualcomm-based chip in the Pixel Watch 2.

See you all soon!
Leaks suggest that it would be a MLX90632 sensor, which Melexis describes as “a miniature SMD thermometer IC for accurate non-contact temperature measurement, especially in thermally dynamic environments and when available space is limited”.
I have absolutely no idea either why Google would add a thermometer to its phones, it’s definitely a senseless addition and it doesn’t help that the MSRP for the Pixel 8 got a $100 bump vs the Pixel 7.
