We’ve already come across numerous leaks about the Pixel 4 this week. After a bunch of CAD renders that were leaked on the web, Google surprisingly posted an official image of the flagship. Now, the Google Pixel 4 has been spotted in the wild, and the latest leak lines up nicely with earlier leaks of the device.

The latest set of images posted by 9to5Google, show the device with a squared camera box which houses the dual-rear cameras. That said, these images don’t give us any new information since Google teased official photos of the handset.

Going by the latest leaks, it appears Pixel 4 will be the first Pixel handset to get more than one primary camera sensor. So far, leaks hint at dual-rear cameras for the Pixel 4, though rumor has it there could be one more ToF sensor. Besides, there appears to be a tiny cutout for the microphone on the top of the device.

Another noticeable change based on the leaks is a single physical button on the left, which could be either a power button or a dedicated button to activate Google assistant. It’s also worth noting that no such button exists on the Pixel 3 series, as it had all its physical keys housed on the right.

Significantly reduced bezels

Besides, leaks also point at the absence of bezels or near bezel-free edges on the new Pixel 4. Some sources even point out at a Galaxy S10-like punch hole at the top right corner for the selfie camera. It could either be a dual-camera setup or a single camera bundled with a front flash.

Also, the bottom bezel gets reduced significantly, which could mean the Pixel 4 won’t pack front firing speakers. Leaks also point towards the absence of a physical fingerprint sensor, which suggests it could either be placed underneath the display or within the side-mounted power button.

Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 4 series sometime in late October. More leaks about the handset are likely to surface as we near its official release. We’ll update you as soon as we hear anything new. Until then, keep checking back for more.
