Two new phones: The Pixel and Pixel XL

The Pixel and Pixel XL are the first-ever purely Google phones.

The Pixel has a 5-inch screen and the XL has a 5.5-inch screen, but other than that, they're essentially the same. The Pixel will also run the latest version of Android called Nougat, and Google claims it has the best camera ever put in a smartphone. Other than that, it has a lot of the other high-end features you'd expect from a premium smartphone. 

The Pixel will start at $649 and you can buy it unlocked from Google or through Verizon.

A virtual reality headset called Daydream View.

Daydream View lets you slot in the Pixel (and other Android phones in the future) and enjoy VR content.

The View has a soft fabric covering, similar to Facebook's Oculus Rift. It also comes with a remote packed with motion-control sensors for navigating menus and playing games.

Daydream View will cost $79 and goes on sale in November.
