New Google Pixel 4 leak suggests massive change is coming
Google Pixel 4 concept render
The Google Pixel 4 could ditch all physical buttons
According to Prosser’s sources, the Pixel 4 series will ditch all physical buttons in favor of an uninterrupted aluminum frame. Rather than including clickable power and volume keys, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will reportedly make their debut with a set of capacitive touch alternatives along the right side.
For those of you that aren’t aware, last year Prosser provided a constant stream of accurate Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL information over a month before their launch. Moreover, he confirmed the existence of the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL before anybody else.
Stereo speakers and a punch hole display seem extremely likely
The new display will be paired with uniform bezels and an extremely thin chin. Despite this, however, Google is reportedly retaining the front-facing stereo speaker setup found on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 lineups.
Elsewhere on the Pixel 4 flagships should be a new dual-camera setup on the rear. It’s unclear at this point if Google will pair its second sensor with a telephoto zoom or super-wide-angle camera, but rumor has it the setup will be aligned horizontally in the top-left corner rather than vertically as seen on many smartphones these days.
Google Pixel 4 specs, features, and release date
Like the Galaxy S10, LG G8 ThinQ, and OnePlus 7 Pro, the Pixel 4 series is expected to arrive powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855. This chip should be accompanied by 128GB of storage and, for the first time ever, 6GB of RAM rather than just 4GB.
Other features that can be expected include an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, a larger battery paired with faster charging, and support for 4G LTE networks. Google is presumably preparing its first 5G-ready smartphones, but 5G connectivity is unlikely to make its way into the Pixel 4 line.
Lastly, in regards to a release, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will most likely be announced during the second week of October. Pre-orders will presumably commence the same day prior to a release the following week.
