Google’s October 15 event highlights

Google will be unveiling the all-new design, improved cameras and processors on the latest device. Pixel 4 is expected to come in two sizes the standard and XL. As Google has already confirmed, both phones will feature a Soli radar chip that enables touchless gestures and more secure face unlock authentication.

Google’s main USP its camera has been revamped.  This year, Google is adding two cameras on the back of Pixel 4. There will be a regular 12MP primary lens and a secondary telephoto lens capable of 8x digital zoom. The Pixel 4 might have a new astrophotography mode and a mode for capturing quick action shots. Google has also perfected low-light photography with Night Sight on the Pixel phones.

“For the new Pixel 4 smartphones to be successful, Google will have to accelerate retail execution and partnerships with telcos, as well as demonstrate that tighter integration with Android 10 delivers a better experience than the new iPhone 11, Samsung Galaxy S10 and Note 10 devices,” said Thomas Husson, principal analyst at Forresters.

Don’t expect Google to launch a 5G variant of the Pixel at Tuesday’s event. “Given the slow 5G start and limited consumer benefits, Google may wait for 2020 for a 5G edition,” according to Husson.
