The Pixel 4 marks an important milestone for Google. No longer is the company looking to stand by and witness all of the secrets surrounding its upcoming phones leak. Twice now, Google tried to get out ahead of the leaks, confirming the phone’s overall design as well as a few signature features. But that doesn’t mean leaks will stop now that Google is playing a more active role in trying to control the narrative. And a new report details some of the phone’s key specs, revealing in the process that the Pixel 4 might pack features that won’t be available on the iPhone 11, which is the only rival phone Google cares about.
