This year, Google is taking control of the narrative with respect to details of its upcoming phones – the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. First, it released a render of the Pixel 4, and just last week, it released a video and blog post confirming key features of the phone(s).
Now, we have high-resolution case renders of the Pixel 4 XL and while they don’t reveal much, we get to see the rear cameras up close.
The Pixel 4 XL will have three rear cameras – a huge upgrade from the single rear camera on the previous generations. One of these cameras should be an ultrawide angle camera.
The expected mind-blowing performance of the cameras should make up for the square-shaped camera module which a lot of folks are still trying to accept. However, seeing as this year’s iPhones will also be sporting a similar design, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4XL won’t be the only ones being made fun of.
All the cases provide the needed grip for a phone which is actually covered in glass. And as you can see, the cut-out for the camera housing is raised so that the glass doesn’t get scratched when placed on a surface. Not like it should even get scratched in the first place as we bet the glass covering the camera housing is most likely Gorilla Glass 5 or 6.
The Pixel 4 series will come with 6GB of RAM, an OLED display, Face Unlock similar to Apple’s Face ID, a Soli Radar chip for gesture control, Titan M security chip and a Snapdragon 855/855+ processor. They will also run Android Q out of the box when they launch in October.
