Google unveiled new Pixel phones, a laptop, and smart home speakers on Wednesday as it stepped up its effort to catch up with the hardware offerings of Apple and Amazon. Google's new devices use its voice assistant, which rivals Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa. Google's new smart speakers begin at $49. The Google Pixelbook will start at $999. The Pixel 2 phone, which mimics the iPhone by eliminating a headphone jack, starts at $649. "Google just doubled down on its hardware effort, spending $1.1 billion to acquire a significant chunk of HTC's phone operations and know-how," Axios writes. "Now it needs to make the bet pay off."
