Google has dropped a ton of new hardware products at its long awaited October 4 event, including the new Google Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, the company’s first real attempt at being a hardware company. On top of the Pixel phones, the company also dropped devices like the new Google Home smart home speaker, the Google Wi-Fi smart router, the Chromecast Ultra, and more. But where can you get all these devices, and when? We have all the order information for you here.

Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL

The Google Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones were the main event, and feature the latest and greatest Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 12-megapixel camera being hailed by Google as the “best smartphone camera ever.” Sounds like a pretty neat device, eh? Unfortunately, this one’s another Verizon exclusive. If you want to buy your phone through your carrier, you’ll have to be a Verizon customer. Otherwise, thankfully, you can get the device unlocked through the Google Store. We highly recommend that you avoid Verizon and buy it unlocked from Google. You’ll still have financing options, but you won’t be locked to a carrier. Here’s the pricing for the new Pixel phones.

Pixel 32GB Pixel 128GB Pixel XL 32GB Pixel XL 128GB
Verizon $650, $27.08 per month for 24 months $750, $31.24 per month for 24 months $770, 32.08 per month for 24 months $870, $36.24 per month for 24 months
Google Store $650, $27.04 per month for 24 months $750, $31.21 per month for 24 months $770, $32.04 per month for 24 months $870, $36.21 per month for 24 months

Verizon is selling the Pixel and Pixel XL from its website, or you can head to the Google Store to pre-order it unlocked. You’ll also soon be able to get it from Best Buy.

Google Home

The second biggest announcement at Google’s October 4 event was the Google Home smart home speaker, which is aimed at taking on the Amazon Echo, and brings Google Assistant into your home. The speaker certainly looks pretty nice, and if you want one for yourself, thankfully it’s available for pre-order at a number of different locations.

As is the case with most other Google hardware devices, you can get Google Home through the Google Store, but you can also pre-order it through Best Buy or Walmart. It’ll set you back $130.

Google Chromecast Ultra

The Google Chromecast has long been a favorite for low-cost streaming options, and now you don’t have to sacrifice quality for that low cost. The Chromecast Ultra adds a number of great features to the Chromecast, including 4K streaming, support for HDR, a built-in Ethernet adapter, and more.

Unfortunately, those new features come at a price. The Chromecast Ultra raises the price of the streaming device up to $70, and while you can’t buy it or pre-order it just yet, you should be able to get it from the Google Store, Best Buy, and other stores in coming months.

Google Wifi

Google Home isn’t the only home-bound device Google wants to sell you. The company has also unveiled Google Wifi, a smart Wi-Fi router that features software designed to help keep all of your connections nice and speedy, no matter how many connections you have. The router even has an associated app, allowing you to manage and monitor the phones, tablets, and computers connected to it. The device is really targeted at those with large houses — multiple Google Wifi routers work well together, and Google is even selling them in packs of three for those with a large house.

Google Wifi, like the Chromecast Ultra, currently isn’t available for purchase or for pre-order just yet, but it will likely be available on the Google Store, Best Buy, and other stores when it is available. It will cost $130.

Daydream View

Google announced Daydream at Google I/O a few months ago, and while we don’t really have many more details about the software, we do now have eyes on Google’s self-built Daydream headset, called the Daydream View. The headset is aimed at being as comfortable as possible, and to achieve that Google actually used fabric as one of the main build materials.

The headset currently only works with the Google Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, and while it’s not available for purchase just yet, it should be in coming months. It will be available from the Google Store, and will cost $80, although if you pre-order the Pixel smartphone, you’ll get the View for free when it’s finally out.

You can now make your current smartwatch look just like the Pixel Watch 3

Using a sideloading APK, you can now make your current Wear OS smartwatch resemble the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 3, even before its official release next month. The Pixel Watch 3, announced last week, will be available in a new size with a larger display and improved components. It will also feature some fancy new watch faces.

To get started, you'll need to download the latest Google Pixel Watch Faces APK (v3.0.119.647124927) on APKMirror. Unfortunately, as Android Police explains, you need to install the APK on your watch, not your phone, to get the new watch faces. As Android Police reminds us, this is a "convoluted process" at best.

Google’s giving you a very good reason not to buy a Pixel 9

If you’re trying hard to decide between buying the Google Pixel 9 or any of the Pixel 9 Pro models, there’s one detail that may push you into making a final decision. You may have heard during the launch event or seen afterwards that Google will give you a free year’s access to its Gemini Advanced AI services, valued at $20 per month, when you buy a new Pixel, but it’s important to know this good value benefit only comes with the Pro models and not if you buy the standard Pixel 9.

Google talked a lot about Gemini Advanced and Gemini Live — where you can have conversational chats with Gemini — during the Made by Google launch event, and it may have piqued your interest, particularly when you heard the service was a free gift with some purchases. However, it was easy to miss the fine details about which phones it comes with, especially when you may assume it comes with all the phones as they have the same processor and general ability.

Security experts just found a massive flaw with Google Pixel phones

Google is patching a serious firmware-level vulnerability that has been present on millions of Pixel smartphones sold worldwide since 2017. “Out of an abundance of precaution, we will be removing this from all supported in-market Pixel devices with an upcoming Pixel software update,” the company told The Washington Post.

The issue at heart is an application package called Showcase.apk, which is an element of Android firmware that has access to multiple system privileges. Ordinarily, an average smartphone user can’t enable or directly interact with it, but iVerify’s research proved that a bad actor can exploit it to inflict some serious damage.
