Google Pixel 4
In June 2019, Google officially showed off the back of the Google Pixel 4 phone on twitter after leaked images surfaced on the web, although we have yet to see the front of the device. The official image clearly shows at least two rear cameras and a third sensor of some kind in a large camera bump on the phone’s back. There’s also another tiny dot at the lower right of the camera module, which could be a microphone.
In July 2019, according to the ice universe's tweets, the images showed us the phone will have a large bezel on its top. They appear to confirm some suspicions, based on renders and dimensions of the phones: it’ll have some larger forehead and chin bezels that are bigger than competing phones like the S10 Plus or the OnePlus 7 Pro. Those bezels will cover up the variety of sensors and front-facing cameras that might otherwise have been hidden with a notch or popup camera.
While the last reveal gave us a look at the back of the phone, this one gives us a look at the front. Or more specifically, the top. Google has done away with the Pixel 3 XL’s ugly notch in favor of a less-unsightly strip above the screen containing its new motion-sensing radar called Soli. And it’s a much bigger array than last year’s dual camera.
From left to right, the sensors and cameras comprising Soli are as follows:
- Face unlock IR camera
- Front-facing camera
- Ambient Light/Proximity Sensor
- Audio port
- Soli radar chip
- Face unlock Dot Projector
- Face unlock IR camera
- Face unlock Flood illuminator
“As you reach for Pixel 4, Soli proactively turns on the face unlock sensors, recognizing that you may want to unlock your phone. If the face unlocks sensors and algorithms recognize you, the phone will open as you pick it up, all in one motion. Better yet, face unlock works in almost any orientation—even if you’re holding it upside down—and you can use it for secure payments and app authentication too.” (Excerpt from
