There are a lot of things that can be said about Google when it comes to its smartphone design choices, but going with the flow is not one of them. The search engine company has resisted being swept up by the trends of the industry as many other manufacturers have done. As such, the Google Pixel 4 is expected to go against the grain and offer features that other comparable devices will not.
As ValueWalk reports, Google has never been known for its audacious designs with regards to its Pixel phones. As a result, the Google Pixel 4 will likely feature a simple two-tone design for the rear panel. On the other hand, the company seems intent on removing the notch from its front face, which should be a welcome change.
On the matter of the specs, there was a recent benchmark by Geekbench that appeared to test a device called Google Coral. Many have since come to guess that this was the Google Pixel 4 and that the results are what users can expect from the gadget. The device tested featured 6GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 855 chip.
The results of the test were not exactly exemplary, but it would appear that the product can contend with other high-end smartphones, at least. What’s more, if it was the Google Pixel 4, it’s likely that it will be fine-tuned before launch. With some software work, the end product will likely perform better than it did when it was tested.
More than anything else, however, it is Google’s decision to retain the single-lens camera design that makes it stand out from the rest of the pack the most. Where companies like Samsung and Apple are vying for the top position by adding multiple camera lenses on their devices, Google is staying out of the race. Instead, the company is focusing more on improving the AI of the Google Pixel 4 to enable better photo capture.
As to when fans can expect the Google Pixel 4 to launch, October is the best bet. All the other Pixel phones have come out in that period, after all.
