The annual upgrade to the Google Pixel series comes with a range of new features, driven by advanced software and upgraded hardware under the hood. As expected, Google Pixel 4 comes with deeper Assistant integration as well as air gesture features based on Soli radar motion sensing chip. Google Pixel 4 series will be available at a starting price of $799 ( ₹57,000 approximately). The Pixel 4 XL price starts at $899 ( ₹64,200 approximately). The phones will be available starting October 24 in the US. Pixel 4 comes in three colors, including Clearly White, Just Black, and a limited edition, Oh So Orange. In terms of design, Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL phones are a big departure from the last generation Pixel 3 series. The wobbly notch is gone and comes in a thick bezel on the top. The bezel houses a bunch of sensors such as face unlock IR camera, front facing camera, ambient light/proximity sensor, audio port, soli radar chip, face unlock dot projector, face unlock flood illuminator.

Another remarkable upgrade is the absence of fingerprint sensor on the new Pixel 4. Google is now betting on Face Unlock as the go-to biometric authentication - a move Apple took a couple of years back with iPhone X. Google, however, says its new Face ID is much more efficient as it allows users to unlock even when the phone is placed upside down. You can use Face ID to make app payments and authenticate logins on compatible applications. Google says users will have the option to disable motion sensors. > Introducing Google #pixel4, our most helpful phone yet.
