Following leaks and rumors about its latest product, Google released the Pixel 4 design through screenshots on its Twitter account, however, the company only showed the back of the phone in the pictures. Google has since confirmed that this is the Pixel 4 design. The phone is not supposed to be released until October, but Google looked to reclaim the narrative surrounding its product.
The phone features a square camera, that has two lenses beside each other, as well as a flash beneath the lens. Also present in the design is the Google logo at the bottom of the device, volume controls and a power button that can also be seen on the photo. The device appears to have a SIM card slot and a USB-C connector at the bottom of the device.
