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.

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.
