Google is holding its annual #MadebyGoogle conference tomorrow where it will showcase all the shiny new products it’s going to release.

What we do definitely know is that a new Google Pixel smartphone is on the cards. The Google Pixel 3 is going to be bigger and better than last year’s phone, and more expensive too.

A leaked version of the Google Pixel 3 XL in Hong Kong is pricing the phone at $1,547.

Want to be one of the first to see what Google has up its sleeves? Here’s what you need to know about today's event and how to tune in.

Google conference: how to watch online

Google is holding simultaneous events tomorrow in New York, Paris and London.

We’ll be reporting from London, but if you want to tune in too, the best way to do it is on YouTube.

Google already has the live stream set up on its channel and you can set a reminder to alert you before the event starts.

The live stream will start at 3.40pm, with the full event beginning at 4 pm.

Google conference: what’s going to be revealed?

As well as the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, a whole host of products are set to be revealed today.

The Google Home Hub is set to be a competitor to the Amazon Echo Show, essentially the Google Home complete with the Google Assistant but with a screen.

Google is also expected to release its first ever tablet. Expected to be called the Pixel Slate, the leaked images point to a very slim, black tablet with a detachable keyboard, and a fingerprint reader at the top of the device.

There were rumours that Google would release a follow-up to its laptop, the Google Pixelbook, tomorrow but the Pixel Slate could get an outing instead.

Google conference: ask the Google Assistant

If you want some more information about the Made By Google event, then the Google Assistant is on hand to answer your queries.

If you ask your Google Home, “What’s this announcement about?,” or “When are you making this announcement?,” and “How can I find out more about this new announcement?,” then the Assistant will be able to drop some hints about today.

Google will be live streaming the event from 4pm on Tuesday, October 9. We'll be reporting live from the London event so head back to the Evening Standard Tech section in the afternoon.
