The Google Pixel 6 gets teased again, may hint at October launch date

Google may be dropping hints at when we can expect the Pixel 6 to launch.

What you need to know

  • Google releases a Pixel 6 teaser on Instagram.
  • The image shows off the device with new Android 12's new Material You widgets.
  • Some images may hint at the device launch date.

The Google Pixel 5a just launched, but fans are no doubt waiting for a full Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro announcement, especially following last month's unexpected teaser. Meanwhile, Google continues teasing its upcoming flagship with a new image that was just posted on the company's MadeByGoogle Instagram account.

The image shows the Pixel 6 display, complete with the center hole punch and Android 12's uniquely-styled Material You widgets. It's not too different from Google's earlier Pixel 6 sneak peek video showing off the Material You design.

While Google doesn't actually mention a launch date in the caption, photos often speak a thousand words, and some of the images appear to hint at a date (or two).

As pointed out by 9to5Google, a close look at some of the clock widgets appears to reveal the date of Tuesday the 19th. Besides earlier this year in January, the only time the 19th falls on that day of the week is in October. Google previously stated that the phones will launch "later this fall," so October 19 puts it squarely in that time frame.

The same clock widget also shows a time of 9:30, which could either indicate the actual device announcement date or simply the launch time, although at this point, we may just be grasping at straws.

That said, it's not beyond the realm of possibility, as a new Pixel device usually launches just after the latest Android software update. With Android 12 Beta 5 available for some of the best Android phones and the full release arriving "in the weeks ahead," an October 19 launch seems very possible.

Are you looking forward to the Pixel 6?

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
