The Mountain View giant has finally unveiled its new flagship smartphone, the Pixel 4, an evolution of the Pixel 3 from 2018. Google presents it as more powerful on many points, including photography, already one of the specialties of the previous model, notably in low light situations.
Here are some details to remember about this new machine:
Photo enhancements
The Pixel 4 is equipped with 2 photo sensors, compared to only one on the model 3. The two sensors, including the telephoto lens, are integrated in a sort of square similar to what we see on the iPhone 11. This design for the photo module has also been the subject of numerous criticism for the iPhone. Will it be the same for this Pixel 4?
For the hardware part, apart from the addition of a second lens, the photo changes seem few. On the software side, however, there are several interesting additions. On the one hand, new HDR technologies to improve the quality of photos. On the other hand, a Super Rez Zoom function promises digital zooms with minimal loss. Finally, Night Sight technology, which allows excellent night photography without flash, has also been improved. Moreover, the Pixels 3 and 3a will also be able to benefit from these improvements for night photos.
Google announced a new, more efficient Google Assistant on its Pixel 4, but also presented the integration of a motion sensor allowing you to control your smartphone remotely using hand gestures. This is technology called Motion Sense.
In addition, new native applications are on the program, including the Magnétophone app, integrating automatic translation functions, but also the Personal Safety app, capable of automatically calling for help in the event of an accident.
Technical specifications of the Google Pixel 4
The smartphone is available in 2 versions. There is the Pixel 4, with a 5.7-inch screen diagonal, and the Pixel 4 XL, with a 6.3-inch screen diagonal. In both cases, the screen is OLED technology, with a refresh rate of 90 Hz. The rear camera offers a resolution of 16 megapixels.
The processor chip is from Qualcomm, Snapdragon 855 8-core model. A Titan M security module is also included, supporting the protection of the smartphone's data.
Wireless charging and dual Sim (SIM card + eSIM) are on the program.
Finally, you need 6 GB of RAM, 2800 mAh for the Pixel 4 battery and 3,700 mAh for that of the Pixel 4 XL.
Note that Google promises Android updates for a minimum of 3 years on the Google Pixel 4. It will be delivered with the latest version 10 to date.
Price and availability
The Google Pixel 4 is priced at 769 eurosat Google directly. For the Google 4 XL, it's 899 euros. Oddly, while across the Atlantic, 3 colors are offered, Clearly White, Just Black, Oh So Orange (limited edition), in France, only the black “Just Black” is available.
The same goes for storage capacity. Only the 64 GB one is offered on the Google France store, while Americans, but also Germans can choose between 64 and 128 GB.
