Google Pixel 4 Key Features

The glass and metal form of the Pixel 4 line up is launching in Just Black, Clearly White and Oh So Orange.

The phones feature a dual-lens rear camera, a 90 Hz 'Smooth Display', a Snapdragon 855 chip-set, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage.

Two standout new features found on its latest flagships are Motion Sense and Face Unlock. The former uses Soli, the company's own radar-based motion-sensing technology, to recognise gestures when you're nearby. You're able to skip songs, snooze alarms and silence phone calls with a wave of the hand. Soli also helps Face Unlock work much faster, by switching on the sensor as you reach for the phone.

The new Pixels also ditch the Pixel Imprint rear-mounted fingerprint sensors of their predecessors, instead, following in the footsteps of the iPhone X - with Face Unlock as the primary means of bio-metric authentication.

There are still two storage options to choose between - 64 GB and 128 GB (with no expand-ability), while both phones also come with surprisingly small battery capacities, despite their physical size. There's a 2800 mAh battery inside the 4 and the Pixel 4 XL totes a 3700 mAh cell - both also sport 18 W fast wired and wireless charging.

It’s undeniably one of the very best camera phones you can buy right now, taking on that mantle from Google Pixel 3.

It’s a compact device that offers a unique design you won’t see in other flagships. This uniqueness comes from its appearance, the materials it uses, and the fact that it’s smaller than a lot of other top-end devices.

The good news is that the Pixel 4's starting price is lower than that of the Pixel 3 in the UK.
