Google shows the back of the Pixel 4 with two cameras

Google has distributed an image of its upcoming Pixel 4 smartphone. The company will probably only announce that smartphone in four months. The render shows a square camera island on the back with two cameras inside.

Google tweeted the image in response to various rumors about the phone in recent days. “Because there seems to be some interest, here it is. Just wait until you see what it can do,” Google tweeted, using the hashtag Pixel 4.

The image only shows the back, with a camera island on top. It contains two cameras, an LED flash and apparently two more elements; one might be an opening for a microphone, the other might be a laser for autofocus.

The render doesn’t show the dual design of current Pixel phones, with a glossy top and a matte bottom. The reflection also indicates a bend in the glass at the back. The buttons are also visible: it concerns an on/off button and volume buttons.

It is the first time that Google has put a render of its smartphone online months before the expected release. However, a lot of information about previous Pixel phones appeared online, with the Pixel 3 already available for sale several months before the release. Google recently released the Pixel 3a phones.
