The company is expected to unveil its new line of Nexus phones, the latest version of Android, and perhaps a few surprises, like the rumored second-generation Chromecast and Chromecast Audio.

THE NEW SMARTPHONES COULD BE CALLED NEXUS 5X AND NEXUS 6P, MANUFACTURED BY LG AND HUAWEI, ACCORDING TO RECENT REPORTS. A LEAKED IMAGE IN AUGUST FEATURED WHAT WAS ASSUMED TO BE AN LG NEXUS WITH A FINGERPRINT SENSOR UNDER THE CAMERA. IF THE REPORTS ARE TRUE, THE LG'S NEXUS WILL HAVE A 5.2-INCH DISPLAY, QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON 808 PROCESSOR AND 2,700 MILLIAMP-HOUR (MAH) BATTERY. HUAWEI HAS NEVER MADE A NEXUS PHONE, BUT ITS VERSION IS SAID TO BE SLIGHTLY BIGGER WITH A 5.7-INCH QUADHD DISPLAY, A SNAPDRAGON 820 PROCESSOR AND 3,500 MAH BATTERY.
Google confirmed the name of its newest version of Android, Marshmallow, in August but had yet to reveal when it would be available to Android users. Marshmallow was first announced in May as Android "M." It will have a couple improvements, including better battery life, more control over app permissions and Android Pay. Expect an official release date at the event.
Last fall, the company announced a load of new gadgets, including Android 5.0 Lollipop, Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and the Nexus Player.
The live stream on Google's YouTube channel, which you can access here, begins at 9 a.m. PT (12 p.m. ET) on Tuesday.
