Google on Monday sent out invitations to an October 15 event starring
"things Made by Google," with a new Pixel smartphone expected in the
line-up.
The unveiling in New York City is likely to spotlight Google's
Android-powered challenge to the latest generation of iPhones recently
unveiled by Apple.
The smartphone rivals typically introduce new hardware ahead of the year-end holiday shopping season.

appeared set to release a fourth-generation Pixel smartphone, possibly
with features including the ability to recognize faces and gestures as
part of its efforts to ramp up hardware in addition to its software and
online services.
The move comes after Apple last week announced
new iPhone and iPad models able to serve as stages for its new game and
television services.
Google has struggle to break into the smartphone market dominated by South Korea's Samsung, Apple and Chinese handset makers.
