Artist creates Google Pixel 4 renders based on the leaks so far

Posted: 11 Jul 2019 06:15 AM PDT

The first renders of the Google Pixel 4 were rather dark, obscuring much of the detail. So, here's a new set of renders (which try to pass off as real photos). The back should be pretty familiar by now, with the square camera hump - a design element that will be shared with the new iPhones. There are two cameras on there (regular + tele), along with a 3D ToF sensor. The front is more interesting, as Google has returned to the classic top bezel (even on the Pixel 4 XL). It's pretty crowded too, a notch would have never worked with two cameras, an earpiece and an extra sensor (for hand...
