First Google Pixel ad leaks ahead of announcement

We're just under an hour away from the official launch of the Google Pixel duo now, and plenty of last-ditch leaks have been coming through the mill. In the latest, we get a glimpse of what's likely to become a large ad campaign for Google's venture into the premium smartphone marketplace. The new advertisement sees the devices take center stage in a literal sense, and also reveals a not-yet-live URL for the Pixels. 

For the duration of the one-minute ad, the middle segment of the clip is obscured by a white bar that gradually morphs into a smartphone shape. By the end, we see the Pixel form factor in all of its glory. The short also reveals Google.com/phone as the main page for the Pixel and Pixel XL on Google's website, though it currently shows nothing but a 404 error. 

With not long to go, we're certainly past the "what we think we know" stage by now. A number of key details pertaining to the Pixel and Pixel XL have been revealed and reaffirmed by numerous sources, as you'll see in our rumor round-up.

With that said, Google could have a number of surprises up its sleeve, so be sure to stay tuned to our liveblog for a play-by-play of the major announcements as they happen.
