The Pixel 4 Will Come with Face Unlock and Gesture Control, Google Confirms

Jul. 29, 2019

Last year, with the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, Google just couldn’t stop the leaks from coming out in hordes, and this time, it looks like Google has decided“if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”and has been leaking its own phone.

After tweeting out arender for the upcoming Pixel 4from the official Made by Google account which pretty much confirmed the single-tone back, and the iPhone-like camera module on the phone, the Mountain View giant has today posted a teaser on YouTube that shows off two of the most rumoured features for the upcoming phone ‌ — Face Unlock and Motion Control.

In the teaser video posted on YouTube, we see the Pixel 4 get unlocked using Face Unlock, which is presumably more advanced like what we see on the iPhone, and hopefully faster than that. We also get to see songs playing on the phone being changed using simple hand gestures, which pretty much confirms that the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4‌ XL‌ will indeed come with the Project Soli chip that uses radar to enable gesture controls.
