    Google officially unveils the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL

    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.

    Google will officially take the wraps off the Pixel 4 range at its Made by Google event on October 15th. The handset has been the subject of numerous leaks in the past. In fact, it was leaked so often that Google officially revealed a teaser image of the handset in June. Today, we have yet another leak of the handset that spills the beans about the handset’s innards along with its box contents.

    The new report falls in line with earlier leaks about the Pixel 4, confirming that both pixel devices will run the latest Snapdragon 855 processor bundled with 6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of built-in storage. Besides, the new leak mentions of a ‘Pixel Neural Core’, which is possibly some marketing related term that replaces last year’s ‘Pixel Visual Core’ terminology. Elsewhere, the leak confirms the presence of a 90Hz OLED screen on both models, dual rear cameras, along with the Titan M Security Module.

    Below is the complete spec sheet of Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 as per the latest leak.

    Leaks about the Pixel 4 are pouring thick and fast on an almost daily basis. At this rate, we wonder if there’ll be anything we did not know about when Google officially unveils these devices on October 15th.

  • Google announces expected Pixel 4 event for October 15: ‘Made by Google’

    Google announces expected Pixel 4 event for October 15: ‘Made by Google’

    Save the date. Google has finally announced its next big event for Tuesday, October 15, where we expect the company to take the wraps off the Pixel 4. The company has sent out press invites for the said date for its ‘Made by Google’ event. During last year’s event, Google announced the Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, a new Chromebook, and the Home Hub. Therefore, at this year’s event, we expect to see Pixel 4 revealed.

    Google’s upcoming flagship has already witnessed a barrage of leaks. And thanks to the bevy of online leaks, Google also confirmed back in June what the phone will look like. The company teased an image that revealed a large, square camera bump on the back of the device. Also, the image showed a phone without a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. Google also showed off a bunch of features for the Pixel 4, which include motion-sensing technology and the ability to unlock the phone just by looking at it, much-like Apple’s Face ID feature.

    Dual-camera system incoming

    However, the one major upgrade this year is widely believed to be the new dual-lens camera system with a new telephoto lens capable of zooming in on subjects. The primary camera will also get the ability to take fast-action pictures with the new ‘Motion Mode’. Besides, there’ll be an astrophotography mode, which gives the phone the ability to take low-light shots with the Milky Way in the background.

    The other big feature is arguably the hands-free gestures to control the phone. With gesture controls, Pixel 4 users would have the ability to control the phone and apps with gestures from above the screen.

    As per earlier reports, the Pixel 4 is expected to get powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 processor. Besides, leaks also hint at 6GB RAM for both Pixel 4 models, which would be an upgrade on the 4GB RAM found on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. However, leaks suggest the Pixel 4 will be offered in 64GB and 128GB storage options, same as last year’s Pixel 3 range. The Pixel 4 is expected to be offered in black, white, and coral color schemes.

  • New Google Pixel 4 XL hands-on video leaked

    New Google Pixel 4 XL hands-on video leaked

    It appears the upcoming Pixel 4 has already beaten its predecessor when it comes to leaks. So far, there’s been no shortage of rumors about Google’s next flagship, set for a release in October. Just last week, we came across a promo video of handset showcasing its camera prowess and gesture control features. Now, the Pixel 4 has shown up not one, but two hands-on videos, giving us the most comprehensive look yet at Google’s next flagship.

    The first video shows a six and a half minute clip of the white color model. It features a matte black panel as well as matte black sides. The black and white color scheme indeed reminds one of panda styling of the Pixel 2 XL.

    Elsewhere, the video suggests that the Pixel 4 will feature a display panel with a refresh rate of 90Hz, which falls in line with earlier rumors of the device. The video shows a menu setting for a setting called ‘Smooth Display’, which lets you switch from 60Hz to 90Hz, depending on what content is on display. To avoid battery drain, users will also get the option to turn off Smooth Display.

    Furthermore, the hands-on video shows an Ambient EQ feature, something similar to Apple’s True Tone display. It essentially adjusts the color temperature of the screen, depending on the ambient light.

    Finally, the video shows a hardware detection app running on the Pixel 4 XL, revealing key specs of the device. It shows that the handset has a 6.23-inch display with a resolution of 3040×1440 pixels. Powering the handset is the Snapdragon 855 processor paired with 6GB of RAM.

    The second video, on the other hand, reveals all three colors of the Pixel 4 XL. These include a white, black, and a coral/orange version.

    Google is expected to announce the Pixel 4 range sometime in October officially. An exact date isn’t announced so far, though rumor has it that the event could take place on October 15. More leaks about the Pixel 4 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.

    Google is expected to announce the Pixel 4 range sometime in October, and leaks about the upcoming flagship are flying thick and fast. The latest leak appears to be a genuine Pixel 4 video promo, sent to ProAndroid by a reader. The video confirms the presence of gesture controls, an astrophotography mode, as well as massive low-light camera improvements.

    Google has already teased a video which shows off how users will be able to control the Pixel 4 without touching the screen, just by hand gestures. And the latest leaked TV commercial showcases the Soli-powered gesture control feature. With gesture controls, Pixel 4 users would have the ability to control the phone and apps with gestures from above the screen.

    Besides, the promo video also boasts about the Pixel 4’s low-light camera prowess, along with the ability to take impressive shots of the stars.

    A recent leak indicated that Google is prepping a new feature called ‘Motion Mode,’ which allows users to take high-quality action shots without any blur. The feature would come in real handy while shooting sports and action shots. The same leak also tipped at an 8x zoom and capabilities for astrophotography – such as the ability to take low-light shots with the Milky Way in the background. And the latest promo video indeed suggests that Google plans to give Pixel 4 the ability to take photos of the stars.

    Besides, Google also plans to upgrade the face unlock mechanism with its new Pixel range. The latest video shows how a user unlocks the Pixel 4 by looking at it, similar to how Face ID works.

    Google is expected to launch the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL sometime in October, while shipping is likely to begin later that month.

  • New Google Pixel 4 leak tips at major camera upgrades

    New Google Pixel 4 leak tips at major camera upgrades

    The Google Pixel 4 is all set for a release sometime in October. Past leaks have given us a fairly good idea about what to expect from Google’s upcoming flagship. Now, the latest rumor tips that massive camera upgrades are on the cards for the Pixel 4. A new report by 9to5Google suggests that the bulky camera on the back of the Pixel 4 will have a new feature called Motion Mode, allowing users to take high-quality action shots with the least amount of blur.

    The report further adds that the popular Night Mode would also get an upgrade. Therefore, users will be able to take even better photos in low-light conditions with the Pixel 4, such as shots of a starry night.

    Key sources indicate that both Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will pack a dual-lens camera for the first time – a standard 12MP lens and a 16MP telephoto lens. Rumor also has it that the telephoto lens will come with 8x zoom capabilities.

    As per earlier leaks, the Pixel 4 is expected to get powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 processor. Besides, leaks also hint at 6GB RAM for both Pixel 4 models, which would be an upgrade on the 4GB RAM found on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL.

    Another major feature of the upcoming flagship would be the ability to control the phone and apps with gestures from above the screen. Google teased a video a few months back, which shows off how users will be able to control the Pixel 4 without touching the screen, just by hand gestures. Besides, Google also plans to upgrade the face unlock mechanism with its new Pixel range. The latest video shows how a user unlocks the Pixel 4 by looking at it, similar to how Face ID works.

  • Google Pixel 4 detailed images leaked

    Google Pixel 4 detailed images leaked

    While Google has officially teased several images of the upcoming Pixel 4 flagship. That said, those photos didn’t reveal anything concrete apart from the square camera housing on the back. However, a new set of alleged leaked images of the device seemingly gives us our first close look at the Pixel 4.

    The images show both front and back of the Pixel 4, along with sensors and bezels. The photos show a rather thin bottom bezel, but it still appears pretty big compared to several other phones. Meanwhile, it appears Google has ditched the notch on top. However, it doesn’t seem too tall despite all the sensors it houses. Besides, the image also shows a narrow, but a slightly taller speaker grille compared to the Pixel 3. Also, we can see a greyish-white power button housed on the right edge, with volume rockers placed right below it.

    The back of the phone shows the massive square camera housing, which is rumored to pack a standard 12MP lens with phase detection autofocus and a 16MP telephoto lens. Besides, the image suggests that Google has possibly used glass on the back instead of the dual-tone matte soft-touch glass, as the Pixel 4’s rear appears quite shiny.

    Though as is the case with every leak, readers are advised to take this with a pinch of salt as there’s no confirmation that these images are real. With that being said, these images were seemingly taken by a Sprint engineer as the “Sprint” text is clearly visible on the lockscreen. Given the fact that Sprint currently sells the Pixel 3 and 3 XL, it shouldn’t be a surprise that these images show the real Pixel 4.

    As per earlier leaks, Google is expected to release the Pixel 4 range in October, while shipping is likely to begin later that month. More leaks about the Pixel 4 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.

  • New Pixel 4 video goes big on gesture controls and face unlock

    New Pixel 4 video goes big on gesture controls and face unlock

    Google is seemingly trying to build a hype about its upcoming Pixel 4 range. The company just released a new video which teases the handset’s new face unlock mechanism and gesture control feature. Whether both features will attract more users towards Pixel 4 handsets, only time will tell. For now, Google has shown-off Pixel 4’s face unlock and gesture control features in the new video. The short video posted on YouTube essentially suggests how users will be able to control the Pixel 4 without touching the screen, just by hand gestures.

    According to Google, gesture control features is the result of new radar technology called Soli. The upcoming Pixel phones will have support for this technology developed by the Advanced Technology and Projects division at Google. Soli relies on high-end optical technology to detect movements off the screen, while the underlying software responds to such movements.

    “Pixel 4 will be the first device with Soli, powering our new Motion Sense features to allow you to skip songs, snooze alarms, and silence phone calls, just by waving your hand. These capabilities are just the start, and just as Pixels get better over time, Motion Sense will evolve as well,” said Google.

    Elsewhere, Google also plans to upgrade the face unlock mechanism with its new Pixel range. The latest video shows how a user unlocks the Pixel 4 by looking at it, similar to how Face ID works. The company will hope to make it as secure as Apple’s Face ID technology, as face unlock technology in Android phones aren’t considered as secure as Apple’s. Google, however, suggests that won’t be the case with the next-gen Pixel.

    “Face unlock uses facial recognition technology that is processed on your device, so that image data never leaves your phone. The images used for face unlock are never saved or shared with other Google services,” the company explained.

    The Pixel 4 is expected to release this fall, most probably sometime in October. Google is expected to launch two variants of the handset, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. More details about Google’s next flagship 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.

  • Google Pixel 4 leak shows off the phone in three color shades

    Google Pixel 4 leak shows off the phone in three color shades

    Leaks about the upcoming Pixel 4 flagship are flying thick and fast. Besides, Google has already given us a taste of what’s in store by revealing a teaser image of its upcoming handset. Now, we have another alleged leaked render of the flagship thanks to IndiaShopps.

    To begin with, the handset shown in the latest render appears to be the smaller of the two Pixel 4 models, i.e. the non-XL variant. Besides, the leak shows handset in three different color variants. These inlcude Black, White, along with a new subtle mint-green shade.

    Additionally, the renders also show-off the typical contrasting power buttons. These are white for the black color variant, blue for the white one, and sort of acidic yellow for the mint-green model.

    It’s also worth noting that these renders fall in line with previous leaks. We can see a large top bezel on the handset and no physical fingerprint scanner on the back. Now, this essentially implies the Pixel 4 might feature an in-display fingerprint scanner or a facial recognition, similar to Apple’s Face ID.

    Not to mention, the leak also shows the much talked about square camera bump on the rear.

    As is usually the case with leaks, readers are advised to take this information with a pinch of salt as nothing is official for now. Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 4 series towards the end of October, much like Pixel launches in the past.

    More leaks about the Pixel 4 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.

  • Google Pixel 4 spotted again with a square camera bump on the rear

    Google Pixel 4 spotted again with a square camera bump on the rear

    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.

    Credits: 9to5Google

    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.

  • iPhone 11, Pixel 4, and Galaxy Note 10 release dates tipped

    iPhone 11, Pixel 4, and Galaxy Note 10 release dates tipped

    A bunch of highly-anticipated handsets are slated for a release in the second half of 2019. These include the likes of iPhone 11, Pixel 4, and the Galaxy Note 10. We already know that all the above-mentioned devices are set to go official this year, though few specifics are available on the actual release dates of these devices.

    Now, however, credible tipster Evan Blass has given us an expected launch date of the three hotly-anticipated launches this year. These inlcude the Galaxy Note 10, the iPhone 11, and the Pixel 4.

    Samsung will likely be the first to unveil its Galaxy Note 10 flagship, late in the month of August. Apple, meanwhile, will most likely unveil the iPhone 11 in the second half of September. Apple usually unveils its new iPhone range in September, so the timing shouldn’t come as a surprise.

    iPhone 11 launch in September?

    To recall, the iPhone 7 was made official on September 16, 2016, the iPhone 8 on September 22, 2017, while the iPhone Xs was released on September 21, 2018.

    Given the fact that sales of new iPhones typically start on Friday, the iPhone 11 could go official on September 20 or September 27. Both timelines fall in the second half of September and is in line with the dates suggested by Evan Blass.

    Google’s Pixel 4 will be the last major flagship launch sometime in late October. Readers, however, are reminded that the dates here concern the day when these devices will go on sale. Hence, the official unveiling can take place a week or so before they go on sale. Blass has cited Verizon’s marketing calender for the second half of 2019 in regards to the launch date of these devices.

    More leaks about these flagships are likely to surface as we near their offiicial release dates. We’ll update you as soon as we hear anything new. Until then, keep checking back for more.

  • Google officially teases the Pixel 4

    Google officially teases the Pixel 4

    Google has officially posted an image of the upcoming Pixel 4 Android flagship on Twitter, putting an end to a set of leaks that surfaced on the web recently.

    The Pixel 4 is expected to release this fall, most probably sometime in October. Now, the company has teased the handset giving us a fairly good idea about the Pixel 4’s design. Going by the image posted on Twitter, we can see a square which houses dual rear cameras and the flash. Google’s Pixel phones are known for their camera prowess, and this will be the first time Google is using multiple camera lenses at the rear.

    Besides, the image shows that Google’s G logo is placed at at the bottom of the screen. However, the tech giant has only teased the back of the device for now.

    A tag line also accompanied the tweet which stated, ” Wait till you see what it can do”. Now, this suggests that the Pixel 4 will feature the latest mobile technologies. Hence, we can expect Pixel 4 to come with wireless charging, stereo speakers, USB Type C, face unlock, as well as in-display fingerprint sensor. Besides, the next-generation Google Assistant will also be included in the Pixel 4.

    As fas as Pixel 4 specifications are concerened, for now, we have no idea about what’s under the handset’s hood. However, rumor has it that the Pixel 4 will boast 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, at a minimum.

    Google is expected to launch two variants of the handset, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. More details about Google’s next flagship 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.

  • Pixel 4 leak shows an iPhone 11-like design

    Pixel 4 leak shows an iPhone 11-like design

    There’s been a dearth of leaks about the upcoming Pixel 4. However, finally it seems like we’ve some proper renders about the upcoming device. OnLeaks in collabortaion with PriceBaba has published a bunch of renders, which are based on ‘early prototyping schematics’. Now, this essentially means that the handset’s design could change by the time of official release.

    Nevertheless, the latest renders show-off the handset with a near bezelfree display. Besides, it shows a camera bump on the rear, which looks quite similar to a few iPhone 11 leaks we’ve seen in the past.

    The leak suggests that the square bump could house at least two cameras. If this turns out to be true, this would be the first time Google will use more than one camera lens on the rear.

    Elsewhere, the leak indicates that the speakers could move on to sides, instead of front facing speakers found on current-gen Pixel phones. Besides, the leak suggests there won’t be a physical fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 4. Not to mention, there is no headphone jack either. As far as Pixel 4 specs are concerned, rumor has it that the device will come with a minimum of 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage.

    Fans aren’t really excited about this Pixel 4 leak, and Reddit is full of users dissappointed about the awful camera square. That said, we’ll take this leak with a huge boulder of salt as other Pixel 4 leaks show a completely different design. There’s a lot of incoherent information about the handset based the latest leaks. However, we expect rumors to start lining up nicely as we approach the handset’s official unveiling.

    We’ll update you as soon as we hear anything new. Until then, keep checking back for more.
