New details on Google's next generation Pixel 4 smartphone have leaked, and some details of its camera configuration appear to be rather impressive. Details on the camera include a Motion Mode supporting high speed action shots. Motion Mode is rumored to be one of the camera's significant features. The rumor also claims that the Pixel 4 camera will have improvements to Night Sight mode as well. Motion Mode will allow images to be taken of fast-moving subjects that will render the shot target clear in the foreground while the background will be captured with the attractive blurred, bokeh effect that many people are fond of. Improvements to Night Sight include speed-related improvements and general...

The Google Pixel 4 is one of the most highly anticipated new smartphones of the year, and the device has leaked plenty over the past few months. Not only have there been unofficial leaks, but even Google got in on the action with the uncharacteristic move of posting renders of the device well ahead of its official launch. Today, the Pixel 4 has leaked twice in two separate videos. The first brief video shows a black Pixel 4 booting up and then is paraded in front of the camera from every angle. The video is too short to focus on one detail for more than a few seconds, but it at least gives us an “in the metal” look at the phone. The second video comes by way of XDA-Developers,...

We're getting closer to the launch of Google's Pixel 4 family of flagship Android 10 smartphones, which means that the leaks are starting to pick up the pace as well. This time around, we're getting an alleged look at the Pixel 4 in the real world thanks to a couple of photos that have leaked. In keeping with the renders that Google itself provided a few months ago, it appears that the back of the device no longer has a two-tone look (which has been a Pixel design hallmark) and instead goes with a monochromatic (glossy black) finish. We also get a look at the raised camera pod on the back, but most of the details here are obscured due to a piece of tape placed over it. Moving along...

As we get closer to the official unveiling of the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL smartphones, more leaks are coming that claim to shed light on what sort of hardware the devices will pack. The latest leak sheds light on the display of the smartphones, and the amount of RAM Google will pack inside the chassis. The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are expected to have the same basic features, differing primarily in screen size. The new leak tips that the smartphones will have 5.7-inch and 6.3-inch displays that are both OLED. The smaller screen will be full HD+ resolution with the larger screen offering Quad HD+ resolution. One important new detail about the displays are that both will be 90Hz screens --...

The Pixel 4 does not drop until this upcoming October, but Google has already revealed several new features. The Pixel 4 will unlock with face scanning technology instead of a fingerprint sensor. This feature appears to be a direct challenge to Face ID found on devices like the iPhone XR and iPhone XS. Google has confirmed what many have suspected and insists that their feature differs from their competitors. It says that users will not need to hold up their device, strike a certain pose, or swipe to unlock their device after their face scan. The face unlock sensors will reportedly scan a user’s face as they pick up their device, regardless of orientation. The Pixel 4 will also feature...

Smartphone rumors are coming in hot and heavy as of late. Earlier today, we reported on an Apple rumor suggesting that the company's 2020 model iPhone might wield a switchable 60Hz/120Hz display (similar to gaming phones, like the ASUS ROG Phone II), and now there is talk of Google's upcoming Pixel 4 devices utilizing a traditional bezel design at the top to accommodate an array of sensors. Source: iGeeksBlog and Ice Universe Let's start with the fresh batch of renders. Notable leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) has once again teamed up with iGeeksBlog, this time to deliver a bunch of renders of the Pixel 4 based on the various leaks and rumors that are out there. As we can see in the image...

Based on previous Pixel launch schedules, we are roughly three months away from the official unveil of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, which will serve as showcases for the Android Q operating system. Leading up to the launch, Google took the unusual step of actually teasing the designof the smartphones, and there have been plenty of leaks regarding the exterior design of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. Today, however, we're getting some insight into what changes will be going on under the hood. Ever since the original Pixel debuted back in October 2016, 4GB of RAM has been included. Even the most recent Pixel 3/Pixel 3 XL and Pixel 3a/Pixel 3a XL adhere to the 4GB mantra. But sources...

Google shocked us all when it decided to "leak" its upcoming Pixel 4 XL flagship Android Q smartphone back in early June. Unauthorized leaks had already flooded the internet at that point, so Google just decided to get in on the action. After Google’s official photo release of the Pixel 4 XL, the leaks have continued, and we were treated to a good look at the front of the device earlier this week. Now, an artist by the name of Jonas Daehnert has released new renders based on the most recent design leak. While these are renders, they about as close to the real thing as we could possibly get. The back of the smartphone is pretty much a known quantity at this point after...

The ability to capture a wider color gamut could be headed to Google's upcoming Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL handsets. If so, photographers would be able to snap and display even better looking photos than what is already possible on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, potentially taking the Pixel 4 family to a whole new level of photographic fidelity. Google hinted at this last month when it announced that wide color photos are coming to Android. In a blog post on the subject, Google noted that we are at a point where the sRGB color gamut with 8 bits per color channel is "not enough to take advantage of the display and camera technology" on today's flagship phones. "At Android we have been working to make...

Earlier this week, Google took the highly unusual move of responding to numerous leaks regarding its upcoming Pixel 4 flagship by posting an actual image of the smartphone. Google's actions left many enthusiasts with mouth agape, as most companies are reticent to acknowledge leaks pertaining to a major product release. @PhoneDesigner's interpretation of the Pixel 4 Now that that cat is at least partially out of the bag, we now have a better idea of what the Pixel 4 will look like in its final form. The official Google pictures coupled with previously leaked information have prompted @PhoneDesigner to create some new renders of the device. The back of the device, as confirmed...

It appears that that latest Pixel 4 leaks may have hit a little too close to home for Google. Just how close? Well, Google has responded by posting an official image of the Pixel 4, and it is an almost exact match for leaked images that we posted on Monday. Those images didn't show much with respect to the front of the device, but out back we could make out a square camera pod and the absence of a rear fingerprint reader. The official photo from Google only shows the Pixel 4 from the back, but it confirms the square camera pod along with the fact that the fingerprint reader is now likely incorporated within the actual display. Looking closer at the camera pod, we can actually see two...

It's been nearly a month since we last came across a credible Google Pixel 4 rumor, and now another report is throwing everything we thought we knew about the phones into disarray. OnLeaks, which usually has a pretty good track record with regards to smartphone leaks, has posted new renders of the Pixel 4, and they are unlike anything that we've seen in the past. The gadget leaker partnered with Pricebaba for the renders, which are allegedly based on "early prototyping schematics". Unlike the last renders we saw of the alleged Pixel 4, this latest iteration actually still has physical buttons for power and volume controls. We can't see much up front other than an...

Google surprised no one when it officially launched its Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL mid-range smartphones last week. Both phones are much cheaper than their Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL counterparts, and are priced at $399 and $479 respectively. However, the most anticipated smartphones from Google this year will no doubt be the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. These new flagships will likely come packing Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 855 SoC and will be going up against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S10 family and the new OnePlus 7 Pro. Previous rumors have suggested that both smartphones will include a punch hole display, which is most prominently featured on the Galaxy...

We’ve heard a lot of rumors surrounding the upcoming Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, and today a new leak is giving us some more insight into how the smartphones may actually look. Our first taste of the new design came back in mid-January, when drawings of a supposed Google Pixel 4 with a notch-free display and dual speakers showed up online. The latest “leak” comes courtesy of new drawings sourced from SlashLeaks. While the overall design of the drawings match the January leak, there are three key differences. For starters, there are two cameras on the back, which bucks the trend of the previous three generations of Pixel smartphones. It’s possible,...
