Google has officially unveiled the new Pixel 4 range at its Made by Google event in New York City. We already know a lot about these handsets thanks to an onslaught of leaks and rumors on the web. Therefore, as expected, the company announced two models of the handset called the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL.

In terms of specs, the Pixel 4 gets a 5.7-inch OLED display while the Pixel 4 XL packs a 6.4-inch OLED screen. Both handsets offer a 90Hz display making it a significant upgrade over the Pixel 3. Under the hood, both handsets get powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor bundled with 6GB of RAM. As for storage, both models are offered in 64GB and 128GB storage options.

In the photography department, both models feature a dual-lens primary camera setup, making it a first for the Pixel range. One is a 16MP standard lens while the other is a 12.2MP telephoto lens. For selfies, both devices come with an 8MP front-facing shooter.

Another highlight with the new Pixel 4 range is the Motion Sense feature, which uses radar technology to detect hand movements. Now, this essentially allows users to interact with the device without touching the screen.

Elsewhere, the smaller Pixel 4 gets a 2800 mAh battery, while the Pixel 4 XL packs a 3700 mAh battery.

The Pixel 4 range also includes Google’s custom-built Titan M security chip to offer enhanced security to protect your sensitive data. As for OS, both handsets run the new Android 10. Besides, Google has also promised security updates for three years and access to Google’s advanced security features.

The Pixel 4 range is offered in three color options. These include Just Black, Clearly White, and Oh So Orange. Both Pixel 4 models are now open for pre-orders, while shipping begins on October 24. The Pixel 4 starts at $799, while the Pixel 4 XL starts at $899.
