The voluminous leak that took place the expected introduction of Google's next flagship phone, the Pixel 3 rumor, at a launch event scheduled for October 9 it's now extended to other categories of products.

Following last week's reports on a new family of Chrome tablets, the Chrome Unboxed blog has released a video of what could be a new Google convertible tablet that looks like Surface Pro by Microsoft. The accompanying article suggests that Google is planning to debut two new Chrome OS devices, dubbed "Atlas" and "Nocturne", at the company's next event – and that's at least the only thing that's going on. one of them could have a keyboard cover, a magnetic clasp and a crutch. .

Reports on Chrome tablets have been preceded by an abundance of detailed information on Rumors of Google on Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL – including photos and videos published by Russian bloggers and more photos and information collected on a 3 XL Pixel that had apparently remained in the back seat of a Lyft. Google has not yet confirmed anything about these reports.

But society has invited the media to an event in New York on October 9th. In addition to introducing new tablets, new phones and maybe other devices, Google should show the latest version of its Android operating system, known as Android pie, which includes new AR features and voice assistant upgrades.

Google has not officially announced any of these elements, let alone new ones Pixel book tablets. Everything here remains squarely in the category of rumors. But we have gathered what we think we know about Google's future Pixelbook and convertible tablets, and we will continue to update this article regularly with news and rumors.

Rumor: One or two new Pixelbooks

We do not know if Google is developing one, two or more new Chrome tablets. The company did not immediately respond to our request for comment. However, the Nocturne and Atlas code names were mentioned by several sources. They could be the same device, two separate devices or completely formed. The Unboxed Chrome article states that "Nocturne" could be a Surface Pro type Pixelbook with fine frames, a high resolution screen and a removable keyboard.

Rumor: round keys

The video released by Chrome Unboxed shows what is called a "Surface Pro detachable type" connected to a distinctive keyboard. The displayed keyboard section includes a few volume buttons, numeric keys and one or two other keys, all of which look perfectly round. Intriguing.

Rumor: Very thin glasses

Now, Chrome Unboxed has also released a picture of what it says is a Facebook ad that shows a new Google tablet with very thin frames – and that is radically different from that of the video.

Rumor: he could run Windows

The developer community exchanged rumors about "Campfire," a Chromebook firmware update that would allow users to safely boot systems in Windows 10 in addition to Google Chrome OS. XDA developers first noticed that it was mentioned in the references to Google's Pixelbook, but has since seen enough code variations to indicate that it will probably be supported by other manufacturers as well. Plus, the code changes happen pretty quickly so we can see them available for the big Google announcement scheduled for October 9th.
