Google Pixel 4 with 90Hz Display, Motion Gestures Launched at $799

Google Pixel 4 has been crowned the most leaked smartphone to date and well, you demand to backtrack to June to know how it all started. Google itself outed what the Pixel four would expect like four months agone and well, everything about this flagship phone leaked online in the fourth dimension leading up to today's announcement.

Google officially launched the Pixel 4 and 4 Twoscore at the Fabricated past Google hardware event in New York today, basically confirming every hardware spec and feature virtually its flagship including the price and availability. If you want to know every small item almost Pixel iv lineup, and then look no farther as we have listed the entire specs sheet and feature ready for both variants down below:

Google Pixel four: Specs and Features

No Dual-tone Design

With the Pixel iv lineup, Google is making a significant modify in the design front and is swapping out the signature 'dual-tone' back console finish. Both the Pixel four and 4 XL now feature a single-color drinking glass panel with a matte finish, forth with a black colored square camera bump and border grip.

Another important design decision that I appreciate is that Google is non discriminating between Pixel 4 and the bigger Pixel 4 Xl. Both now sport the same curves, aforementioned front end display panels (except for a deviation in resolution, more on this below), and the same dorsum console blueprint.

90Hz Display FTW

Well, the leaks and hands-on videos were indeed true. The Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL are equipped with a 5.7-inch Full-HD+ and 6.iii-inch Quad-HD+ display respectively. Both the display panels characteristic a higher 90Hz refresh charge per unit, which has gotten popular of recent – especially since the launch of OnePlus 7 Pro. Nosotros don't know the display specs, all the same, we will update this story with more information very soon.

Under the Hood – More RAM?

The Pixel 4 lineup is powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset and well, Google seems to take finally listened to the influx of retentivity management complaints on Pixel 3 phones. You're at present getting 6GB of RAM on both the Pixel four and 4 Xl instead of 4GB of RAM that nosotros've seen on its predecessor. While this sounds great, it's disappointing to run into that the base storage is still stuck at 64GB and only goes up to 128GB – that also at a time when flagship phones are offering 1TB onboard storage.

In addition, Google Pixel iv now also comes equipped with a new Pixel Neural Core chip which will enable this flagship to handle the auto learning and computational tasks, which are cadre to this smartphone's experience.

More Than One Photographic camera, Finally!

Google has been baking but one rear camera sensor on its Pixel smartphone until engagement, however, the Pixel 4 finally take a step frontward. Pixel four is the start Pixel smartphone to sport a dual rear-camera setup. Information technology includes a 12MP principal camera lens, paired with a 16MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and up to 8x hybrid zoom (with Pixel 4's well-known SuperRes characteristic).

New computational features baked into the Pixel iv are Alive HDR (which volition show how a scene would look similar after HDR processing in the viewfinder), dual exposure controls (information technology was leaked before and well, gives you control over effulgence and shadow of the scenes earlier clicking a picture), improved white balance to better handle colors in your photos (using machine learning and semantic segmenting).

That'south not all. Google Pixel iv comes with a meliorate portrait camera to offer better life-like bokeh and well, let'south non forget the Astrophotography mode. It's one of the new features nosotros've already experienced with the leaked Google Photographic camera 7.0 and information technology takes a longer fifteen-2nd exposure to click pictures that look similar the Milky Way.

3D Face Unlock

Some other highlight characteristic of the Pixel 4 lineup will have to be Face Unlock. And well, it might come as a surprise to many but Google seems to have taken cues from Apple to solely broil Face Unlock into its latest flagship for biometric authentication. This means you'll not find a fingerprint sensor on this flagship – neither a concrete nor an in-brandish one.

Every bit you can see in the prototype above, the taller summit bezel in the Pixel 4 and 4 XL includes Face Unlock hardware. It looks pretty like to Apple's Confront ID hardware and you lot find components including Face Unlock IR camera, flood illuminator, and dot projector. All of these work together to make Pixel four's Face Unlock feature snappier and comparable to iPhones.

Motility Gestures

Pixel four is the "get-go smartphone to feature a radar sensor" called the Soli radar chip. This makes it possible for users to wave their paw over the Pixel 4 to alter tracks, command playback, silent incoming calls, snooze alarms, and more. The device besides uses this Soli radar chip to detect when your hand is shut to the phone to wake the screen and get it ready for Confront Unlock. Information technology will as well lock the phone when you lot walk abroad, which surely is a great characteristic.

Software Upgrades

While the OnePlus 7T lineup may be the first couple of devices to launch with the latest Android 10 software feel out-of-the-box, the Pixel 4 and 4 XL too comes with the aforementioned – obviously. We are talking near a Google-made smartphone hither, then you do get exclusive software features similar the new Google Assistant feel that's super fast. I mean, it uses a hybrid arroyo to deliver results faster than ever earlier.

Too, Google has broiled a new voice recorder app into the Pixel 4 and it's pretty awesome as it not merely saves recordings but also gives you text transcriptions in real-fourth dimension. And the best part is that information technology works offline and y'all can even search for certain parts of the text you said in ane of the recordings.

Battery+Charging

The smaller Pixel iv houses a measly 2,800mAh battery whereas the Pixel 4 XL houses a bigger 3,700mAh battery and well, those battery packs nevertheless seem less for 90Hz displays that are baked into these smartphones. Google, notwithstanding, says the device automatically adjusts the refresh rate of the display to preserve battery life.

Google Pixel 4: Price and Availability

Google Pixel 4 has been priced starting at $799 in the U.S whereas Pixel 4 Xl volition start retailing at $899 for the 6GB RAM and 64GB storage variant. Y'all volition have to spend an additional $100 to take hold of the college-end 6GB+128GB variant for both Pixel 4 and 4 XL.

I believe you already know the color variants for the Pixel 4 lineup every bit they take leaked extensively before launch. Yous tin can choose between Conspicuously White, Just Blackness or Oh And so Orange (which doesn't await that bad) limited edition color variant.

Since the Pixel 4 lineup volition get up against the iPhone 11 and its Pro variant, Google has priced its latest flagship telephone quite aggressively when you lot business relationship for the boatload of features packed into the smartphone. It would be interesting to see how the camera on Pixel 4 compares to the iPhone 11 Pro since the latter has been widely praised by many. Who do you retrieve would be the winner?
