The third annual Google hardware extravaganza is kicking off in just a few days. On October 9 at 11am, Google will show off its next flagship smartphone, the Pixel 3, along with a few other products. The new Pixel phone is usually the headline launch at these hardware events, but Google often announces four or five other products alongside the new phone.

Last year, we saw the Pixel 2, the Chrome OS-powered Pixelbook, the Google Home Mini and Google Home Max, a new version of the Daydream View VR headset, the Google Pixel Buds, and a dead-on-arrival AI camera called "Google Clips."

The year before saw the Pixel 1, Google Home, Chromecast Ultra, the first Daydream View, and Google Wi-Fi. Most of the leaks and rumors hint at sequels to some of these products.

Right now, the Pixel 3 might be the tech world's worst-kept secret. There have been over 20 (!) individual leaks since June, and some sites have even done full reviews already. Apparently, Google and/or Foxconn lost an entire box of pre-production Pixel 3 XLs, and the units have been circulating on the Ukrainian black market for $2,000 a pop. Other than the retail price, there's not much we don't know about the Pixel 3.
