We’re expecting a number of new devices from Google, including the oft-rumoured Nexus 5X, the Nexus 6P, and the long-awaited launch of Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Of course, we won’t know all the details until Google kicks off proceedings later today.

What to expect from the Google Nexus event
This is Google’s biggest product launch event of the year, so we’re expecting a host of new devices.
The headline products are tipped to be two new smartphones: the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P.
The Nexus 5X
The former is built by LG, and looks set to feature a 5.2in display, a Snapdragon 808 chip, 2GB of RAM, and a fingerprint scanner.
The latter is expected to be manufactured by Huawei, and is likely to land with a 5.7in display, a Snapdragon 810 chip, 3GB of RAM, and a USB-C port.
With those new products in mind, it’s also very likely that we’ll see the launch of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Google’s new mobile operating system.
We’re also expecting a revamp to the two-year-old Chromecast, in the form of the Chromecast 2.
The major new addition to the device this time around is expected to be 4K video-streaming support.
The Nexus 6P
There’s also talk of a second new Chromecast device, namely the Chromecast Audio.
It’s set to land as a music-streaming alternative to the Chromecast, and could unsettle Sonos’ position as market leader for multiroom audio.
Another rumour suggests we’ll see a 10.2in tablet from the search giant, dubbed the Pixel C.
Unfortunately, there’s very little in the way of leaks about this device, so stay tuned on that front.
