In a move largely expected by mostly everybody, Google have announced their Pixel phones by Google, consisting of the 5-inch FHD display Google Pixel and 5.5-inch 2K display Google Pixel XL. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet, but the Pixel will be priced from $649 (RM2697) with pre-orders starting from 4 October 2016 and a release date on 20 October 2016. They will be powered by Google Assistant.

The Google event is happening in less than a day, and we have a pretty good idea what Google will be announcing at the said event. A telco in Canada however has spilled the beans a day too early, so we have all the details of the new Google Pixel & Pixel XL.

Sorry TechNavers, last week due to weekend events and issues we could not foresee, I couldn't get the Weekly TechNave out. The good news is that now we have 2 weeks of tech news and events for this week's Weekly TechNave.

Internationally, the Xiaomi Mi 5S and Mi 5S Plus got launched along with the TCL 950 and Blackberry will not be designing smartphones anymore. Samsung also officially announced their Galaxy A8 (2016). The Malaysian prices for the Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus got "officially" leaked, so check out our compilation page to register your interest for the telco of your choice.

October 4th is just around the corner, and we can expect something big from Google on that day, as part of their big event.. One of it is their first, inhouse developed smartphone called the Pixel, and its bigger brother the Pixel XL. We now have photos of what the phone will look like on launch day.

Google have officially announced that a new device will be coming on 4 October 2016 with a teaser video and registration of interest page. We assume that it will be to announce their new Google Pixel devices. Previously codenamed 'Sailfish', rumours have it that they will replace or complement the current Nexus line-up of Google devices.
