Google will announce the Pixel 4 on October 15 in NYC
The Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will be the focus
As confirmed way back in early June, the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will ditch the Pixel line’s famous two-tone finish in favor of a regular slab of glass. This panel should be available in three colors – black, white, and orange/coral – and features the Google ‘G’ logo in addition to an all-new square camera module that houses three sensors and an LED flash.
Rumor has it the Pixel 4 will inherit the Pixel 3’s primary 12-megapixel sensor but ultimately produce better photos thanks to software enhancements. Accompanying this will reportedly be a 16-megapixel sensor paired with a telephoto lens which, when combined with Super Res Zoom software, can take photos at up to 8x zoom. Also reportedly part of the setup is a dedicated ‘Spectral Sensor’ that may be capable of capturing information that isn’t visible to the naked eye like x-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, and much more. Additionally, depth data for individual pixels and the ability to better identify materials are often part of the package. This means the sensor could be responsible for the improved Night Sight results that have leaked or perhaps a better portrait mode.
