What to expect from tomorrow’s PlayStation Meeting
Slim PS4, upgraded “Neo” console, and more should be discussed.
(credit: Aurich Lawson)
Sony stayed strangely quiet about its upcoming hardware plans back at June's E3, using the convention to focus on PS4 software instead. That silence seems set to come to an end tomorrow, though, as Sony prepares some major hardware announcements for its PlayStation Meeting event in New York City.
We'll be there live, ready to liveblog all the news of Sony's upcoming gaming plans. For now, though, here's what we expect to hear (and what we don't expect to hear) when we sit down in the PlayStation Theater tomorrow.
PS4 Slim
At this point, the redesigned PlayStation 4 has to be among the worst-kept secrets in video game industry history. It has been weeks now since word of the system first leaked out via British auction sites; the info was then quickly confirmed by a Eurogamer reporter who actually saw one in person. Since then, there has been copious additional confirmation that the new, slimmed down system is real. That includes an extensive review and video from Let's Play Video Games and even a full teardown showing the system's redesigned innards.

Intel is the dominant maker of the chips used in laptop and desktop computes, but the PC market has plateaued (or declined) in recent years, so Intel has been looking to move into emerging technologies.
The company’s efforts in the smartphone space haven’t gone very well. But Intel has big plans for virtual reality, drones, automotive technology, and other Internet-of-Things product categories.
As part of that vision, Intel has announced plans to buy Movidius, a leader in the computer vision space.

Report: Huawei is building a successor to the Nexus 7
Evan Blass claims a small Google tablet is coming.
Enlarge / The 2013 Nexus 7.
Perennial product leaker Evan Blass claims that a new Google tablet is on the way. Huawei will apparently be building a 7-inch tablet for Google, making the device a follow-up to the Nexus 7. Blass says the device is due out before the end of the year.
Google's Huawei-built 7-inch tablet, with 4GB RAM, on track for release before the end of the year.
— Evan Blass (@evleaks) September 5, 2016
Huawei-built "Nexus 7" rumors have been floating around for some time. Last year, TechTimes reported on a Huawei-made Nexus 7 that would launch in 2016, but the site's suggested launch time of "Google I/O" didn't pan out. Blass' comments are definitely the most reliable source of Nexus 7 rumors we've seen yet.
Of course "Nexus" probably won't be the name of this device. Google is undergoing the Great Hardware Unification of 2016, and according to a report from Android Police, the Nexus line is going away to make way for a unified "Pixel" line. The two upcoming Google phones are reportedly going to be branded "Pixel" and "Pixel XL." If that report holds true, this device would probably be branded a "Pixel," too.
