Google took an unusual step back in June when it confirmed a couple of leaked renders then as those of the Pixel 4. Since then, the company has even teased a couple of sots of the device. The specifications of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL were also outed recently. A new set of leaked live pictures of the Pixel 4 has appeared online giving us our first up-close look at the front of the upcoming flagship.
The pictures started making the rounds on Telegram recently and were shared on Twitter by XDA’s Mishaal Rahman. The size affirms that it is likely the smaller Pixel 4 but what makes it spectacular is that thisis the first time the phone’s entire front is shown.
The Pixel 4 will pack a 5.7-inch screen with a rather thin bottom bezel and an equally modest top bezel despite the number of sensors that is crammed inside. At the left side, we can see the ambient light/proximity sensor flashing, while the single selfie camera is next to it but we can’t say if it is a wide-angle lens. Also, the speaker grill at the top is more narrow but wider than that of the Pixel 3.

The Pixel 4 is also expected to have a face unlock IR camera, Soli radar chip and face unlock dot projector, second IR camera, and flood illuminator but these are not visible on the screen.
From the gesture navigation bar and the Assistant handles on the display, we can see that the phone is running Android 10. Other features which confirm this indeed could be the Pixel 4 is the two notifications on-screen for “Pixel Setup” and the Play Store. Sprint is boldly displayed as the carrier on which the leaked phone gets its network connectivity.
Although we have seen the Pixel 4’s rear design the leaked image is worth taking a look at. The most spectacular feature on the rear is the square-shaped camera module. The module houses a 12MP main shooter with phase-detect auto-focu, a 16MP telephoto lens and an LED flash.
The rear panel also comes with a smooth glossy finish with the glass panel curved slightly at the edges into the frame. The volume rockers and power button are also visible at the right edge of the display.
