The Made By Google event that was hosted in New York might not have been surprising, as it could have been if Google Pixel 3 wasn't leaked so much before the event. But there was still plenty to get from the event.
Google not only announced its flagship Pixel phones, but also a new smart home hub, a tablet, and a number of accessories.
Talking about the cost, the Pixel 3 price starts at $799 (Rs 59,169 approx.) and the Pixel 3 XL starts at $899 (Rs 66,575.33 approx.). The Pixel Slate price starts at $599 (Rs 44,358.87) and the Pixel Slate Keyboard price is $199 (Rs 14,736.92 approx.). The Google Home Hub price is $149 (Rs 11,034.18 approx.), and will be available in the US, UK, and Australia on 22nd October.
