Everything About Pixel 4 and 4 XL


Pixel 4 and 4 XL


Google’s latest smartphones are finally, really, officially as the company just announced the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL at its Pixel event in New York City. The Pixel 4 comes in three new colors: white, black, and a limited-edition orange option. It 
comes with an 18W fast charger, a USB Type-C based.

The Pixel 4 will feature a 5.7-inch Full-HD+ OLED 90Hz display and a 2,800mAh battery, while the Pixel 4 XL will have a larger 6.3-inch display with the same resolution and refresh rate but a bigger battery, 3,700mAh battery. But the refresh rate automatically adjusts to the usual 60Hz in some circumstances (where you wouldn’t even notice) to optimize battery life. Both the handsets are powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC paired with 6GB RAM and storage options of 64GB and 128GB variant.

Google did not compromise on the sensor department as the top bezel area of Pixel 4, houses a number of sensors that enable two new features. One is Google’s own face unlock system, which is the company’s answer to Apple’s Secure Face ID. 

The other is a new interaction method called Motion Sense. This allows Pixel 4 to be controlled with hand gestures no touching the phone required. Motion Sense utilizes Google’s Project Soli technology. With Motion Sense, you can do things like control music or dismiss an incoming call with a wave of your hand near the phone’s display. Motion Sense processing happens locally on the device, and Google noted that the feature can be disabled at any time if in case the person is not happy with the initial rollout.

For this year’s camera system, Google has added a telephoto portrait lens beside the standard primary rear camera. The telephoto lens offers 2x zoom through a hybrid of optical and digital focus, according to Google.

The new Pixels arrive just as Apple has finally caught up to Google’s camera performance, with some believing that the new iPhone 11 offers superior picture quality.

Taking into consideration the competition in the camera department, Google is adding a secondary rear camera for the first time as well as some new software tricks and improving existing modes like Night Sight, which now has a long-exposure astrophotography feature. Live HDR+ offers a real-time look at the picture you’ll get after Google applies its image processing. There’s also a new shadows slider if you want more control over what HDR is doing, and Google says it has improved white balance in all photo modes.

The Pixel 4 also introduces a new Recorder (voice memos) app that automatically and very quickly transcribes what’s being said using Google’s speech recognition. This being a Google product, you can search through all past recordings for a particular word. And again, all of this happens on the device itself without help from the cloud and its exclusive for this device online as of now.


Google has been using machine-based white balancing to provide more accurate colors in tricky shooting scenarios. Snow, for instance, tends to look blue with some SLRs, but Google is working to ensure that photos look realistic on Pixel 4.


It goes up for preorder today, and it will ship on October 24th. The new Pixel 4 launched at $799 in the US which translates to around Rs 57,000 in India while the Pixel 4 XL is priced at $899, around Rs 64,000. Last year, Google had launched the Pixel 3 (64GB) at Rs 71,000 while the Google Pixel 3XL (64GB) arrived in India at Rs 83,000
