Google teases Pixel 4 smartphone, ups the camera ante

It all started with an official tease from Google of the Pixel 4, and then there was a next-gen Pixel 4 spotted in the wild and posted up by 9to5Google.

The tipster sent the photo into 9to5Google, which looks identical to the official tease my Google. The company is ramping up the cameras on Pixel 4, with an interesting square camera array on the back of the Pixel 4 in both the official tease, and the tipster-submitted photo.

The rear of the Pixel 4 rocks two side-by-side camera lenses, with a flash underneath and then in the bottom right it looks like we can expect the microphone. The tease from Google is a surprise as the company doesn't usually reveal its Pixel smartphones until October... but as an owner and a huge fan of a Pixel 3 XL, I can definitely say it excites me.
