Leaked Pixel 4 ad focuses on hand gestures and Google Assistant, not the tele camera

Posted: 09 Sep 2019 12:30 PM PDT

An ad for the Pixel 4 has leaked and it shows what it means for a phone to be designed "the Google way". It seems that Google doesn't want you touching your phone to use it - not when you have Project Soli's hand gestures and the voice commands of the revamped Assistant. That's the first half of the ad. The second half is about the camera. You can see the new triple cam on the back of the white Pixel 4, but interestingly the ad focuses on the low-light performance - something Google aced a couple of years ago. There's no mention of the new telephoto camera. There's nothing on the 90Hz...
