The Google Pixel 4 Is Coming...

So this is pretty exciting

Google Pixel 4. I've been a big fan of the Pixel devices in the past

And now we have some information, some news, potentially a release date, some specs, some leaks

and some renders of the potential upcoming Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL

And I have to say I'm kind of surprised. It seems like the Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL may take a lot of inspiration

more than I expected from the device I'm currently using, this guy right here the galaxy s10 both the sketch up and the renders that we're looking at

right now have the hole punch set up rather than the notch that the previous generation had now of

course many people were very critical of the notch implementation on the pixel 3xl specifically it

was kind of this weird notch that came way down into the frame but they did so in order to fit in

a secondary front facing camera. Now with this render right here, you can see they got the hole punch set up

and it's somewhat less offensive. The hole punch is weird to me because when I first saw it, I was like

what's the point? I don't get it. I mean, is there no other way

that we can approach the situation? But having used the hole punch now on the S10 for like a couple of weeks I do have to say I think it is better than the notch just because it over in the corner The singular hole punch for the smaller version and the double hole punch for the larger version

This could, of course, still accommodate that wide angle camera that we saw on the 3XL

So that could be the secondary unit. Now, looking around back of these renders, things get a bit more interesting because, as you know

Google was adamant on the previous version they could do everything in software

They could create the best camera on any smartphone with a singular lens

Even though other manufacturers were putting all kinds of lenses into their devices

You ended up with some amazing images coming off of the Pixel phones. Even though you had one camera lens

They all took place within the software and they still looked amazing. But of course there's only so much you can do in software

You can't get a wider angle picture for example. The larger version of the next Pixel

Pixel 4 XL may see a secondary lens on the back of the device and if it does I sure hope that's a

wide angle lens to go with the more typical standard lens that we see right now on the 3 and 3 XL

Now speculation at this point is that the release date could be around the end of October with the

announcement in early October They are likely going to be shrinking the bezel on the device as well as you know on both the 3 and 3XL they kind of seemed outdated when they launched compared to the other products that were on the market especially at the price point that the Pixel targeted

Price-wise, it's expected that this is going to fall into flagship territory, but that's not a surprise. I think most people would expect that

You could probably assume this thing's going to have the latest Snapdragon processor. Of course it would

But if Google does go this way with the hole punch setup, it seems like right now Samsung

could likely be their supplier for those displays. So you could see an improvement in performance of the OLED panel on the device itself

On previous generations you saw displays from LG that weren't received the greatest in the

smartphone segment. I mean, there were a lot of people had all kinds of problems with color shift

They said the displays looked a bit yellow. And of course, there was also variance in display performance from one phone to the next

It's not a secret at this point that Samsung's out there making probably the best OLED displays on smartphones

They supply other manufacturers, Apple included. If Google can buy these hole-punch OLEDs from Samsung, I'd say we're in good shape with the next generation Pixel

Now I don expect to see a headphone jack make a comeback on this device It probably going to have one port I assuming it going to be usb type c down on the bottom it will likely also have wireless charging and i think they should

implement some of the shared charging features that you can see right now on the s10 s10 plus

of course you see the latest android software that's one of the benefits of being on the pixel

side and that should be the case with the pixel 4 pixel 4 xl so i do have to say i'm excited for it

I do feel like the last generation was a bit dated at launch just because of the appearance of it on the previous version

It wasn't such a huge drawback using the device. It was more of a look thing, more of an aesthetic thing

So if Google can go in and drop a product and release a product that looks like this render right here with the whole punch setup

in conjunction with their incredible camera software and processing, computational photography, and then the stock Android experience

wireless charging, the latest processor, lots of RAM and so on. This could be a very compelling package

Of course, it all comes down to price. We'll see where they line up. It's probably going to be flagship territory

but they could really disrupt things if they can come in $100 or a couple hundred dollars cheaper

We'll have to wait and see. This is what we know right now. Pixel 4, 4XL, possibly coming out in October

I don't know. I'm kind of excited. You might be too
