With Apple, Samsung, Microsoft and Amazon already having had their fall announcement events this year, Google's hardware keynote is ostensibly the last major launch of 2023. The company has more or less told us what it's going to be unveiling today, teasing us with trailers of the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Watch 2. If the keynotes of the other tech giants told us anything, it's that we should expect Google to also pile on with a ton of updates about its developments in generative AI, in addition to the new phones and smartwatch. We'll also probably learn more about features coming to Android 14, and it's highly likely the Assistant gains some new skills as well. The show kicked off on October 4 at 10AM ET, and so far we've covered the release of the Pixel 8 series, including the Pro, Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Buds Pro, and new AI features. Stay tuned as we update this liveblog with even more news coming out of the keynote.

Following the announcements of the Mate 9 for business users and the Honor 6X for on-line purchases, Huawei is using MWC to launch its consumer-centric products. The company launched the P10 and P10 Plus smartphones and its second-generation smartwatch Watch 2. The P10 and P10 Plus leverage the same Kirin 960 processor used in the Mate 9 with enhanced hardware and software application capabilities. The P10 series includes dual cameras with Leica lenses front and back. The most interesting features of the new devices, however, is the expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities of Hiborg and the addition of Highlights. Hiborg is an AI framework that analyzes how a device is used and information about the users.
