Pixel 4 launch on October 15: What Google needs to do to counter Apple iPhone 11 Pro

Google’s Pixel event is happening on October 15 where the fourth generation of company’s revered smartphones will officially debut. But this time Google made an unexpected move by revealing some key information about the upcoming Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. It shared a teaser few months back to show off the dual camera setup on the Pixel 4, which resembles the one on the iPhone 11 Pro duo. There will also be a handful of Made by Google products, including new Nest speakers, Wi-Fi router, and smart display devices.

Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will bring drastic changes in features and specifications over last year’s models. The biggest highlight will be Pixel 4’s ability to read hand gestures to carry out operations such as media control, face unlock, and more. Pixel 4 phones will be integrated with a motion-sensing chip called Soli to allow users to navigate on the phone within certain apps, which are not clear as of now, with hand gestures in the air. Google has already posted a video that shows a glimpse of how this technology will effectively work on Pixel 4 phones.
