Google has been delivering some cool juice on the software with successive versions of the Android operating system. On the hardware turf, the US tech company has also been superb right from the Nexus to the latest iteration of the Pixel phones. The company has already confirmed he Pixel 4 is in the works but the launch date is yet to be disclosed. A new leak by popular tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks) suggests the Pixel 4 will be launched on October 15.
The leak comes in the form of a render of the Pixel 4 which seems to come from a screen protector maker. The device’s home screen is displaying the current date as October 15. Of course, October 15 is still more than a month away so this is likely a clue to the launch of the Pixel 4 launch date. The render also shows the device will have a large bezel at the top. The bezel houses an Apple-like Face ID system, and Soli radar sensors that enable motion sensing. The device may not have a physical fingerprint sensor anywhere, as it looks like Google is going all-in with facial recognition, just like Apple.
A second image said to be that of the Pixel 4 XL running the DevCheck Hardware and Software Info app. The display shows the Pixel 4 XL is powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset, and not the 855+. The device is also said to pack a 6.23-inch display with a screen resolution of 3040×1440 pixel and 19:9 aspect ratio.

Earlier leaked had tipped the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL to sport 90Hz displays, pack 6GB of RAM, and two rear cameras (the main sensor and a telephoto lens). The Pixel 4 XL was said to get a 3,700 mAh battery, while the Pixel 4 with a 5.7-inch display would pack a 2,800 mAh battery. There is no doubt that the Pixel 4 and 4 XL will run Android 10 right out of the box.
