Just yesterday, we reported about the leaked Pixel 4 renders that were going around. Google’s photo confirms that those renders were actually correct. The Pixel 4 will indeed change from a single rear facing camera to a multi-camera setup. Entire enclosure will be in a square enclosure similar to the rumored camera bump of the new iPhones.
The picture that Google tweeted out doesn’t show the front of the device so we don’t know exactly what it will look like. However, we can probably surmise that since the rear mounted fingerprint sensor is missing, either Google is using a side button as the sensor or perhaps an in-display fingerprint sensor. Given the proliferation of in-display fingerprint readers from the likes of Samsung and OnePlus, I’m fairly certain of the latter.
Internally, the Pixel 4 will likely have the requisite high-end specs: Snapdragon 855 processor, perhaps 6-8GB of RAM and at least 64GB of storage. Ars Technica reports that Google’s Project Soli may be supported on the Pixel 4. Project Soli is basically a tiny chip that uses radar to detect hand motions above the device. It will be interesting to see if those air gestures will actually be useful.
