Google Pixel 4 XL renders show a classic top bezel, no notch or punch hole

08 July 2019
The top bezel comfortably fits a dual camera, an extra sensor (3D IR sensor maybe) and a speaker.

    still perfect design like s8>>>>note9

      Jezzz... What year is thiss??

        It looks good without notch, and i think it looks great in real.

          oled?????

            In fairness though, I really don't care about the design like more insecure users who want to show off a design nobody cares about. My Essential Phone had no forehead but had a chin. As long as the phone performs well, that's what matters to me the most.

              I'm so happy with my Pixel 3 right now after seeing these photos. It has a forehead and chin but at least it looks more symmetrical. Perfectly even. And it's a few millimeters shorter. This Pixel 4 design just looks weird.

                Man, what is HTC up to? Funny how those renders had a camera punch hole.

                  So Google creates the trend of creating the most ugly phones ever XD
                  Why am I not surprised?

                  Front looks really antique, like copied of some 2-3 year old phone. Perhaps they tried copying the S8 there: "Hey guys, I've got an S8 still lying around, so since we're out of ideas about the design, as always, why don't we copy the S8? It's from spring 2ß17, so I'm sure no one will notice!"

                  Back looks even worse, with a poor attempt at trying to copy the Mate20 camera, which went badly wrong XD

                    Anonymous, 08 Jul 2019Classic all bezels = good. That big square camera bump in ... moreIf it means that the camera is better, it's worth it. A case will mean no bump, in all likelihood. I'm happy. Battery sizes are the Achilles heels for Pixels.

                      sj643, 08 Jul 2019v30 design is far better than this.Yep. Best looking, and more importantly, best feeling phone I have held.

                        A better design than the pixel 3.

                          Notch is the reason.
                          Notch is ugly.

                          Of course the obscene price is another issue as well.

                            Jesus, Google. What the frick.

                              Google should learn how to make bezels from meizu

                                Great and clean industrial design without any ugly chichi and blingbling. Loving it. If they use a BIGGER camera sensor this time I would buy it directly.

                                  Good. Keep the design.
                                  Now just waiting for the 4a so I can get WiFi6 support.

                                    Arara, 08 Jul 2019Still better than notch.IDK, that's a really thick forehead, it might be the same thickness as the Pixel 3 XL Mariana trench notch, if it was hidden.

                                        Only clueless people will defend this design, just because it has neither a notch nor a punchole. Yeah we get your point, but some other people around the world did all of it with a MUCH BETTER design already. So what is your point?

                                        Look at Meizu. Their 16s has no notch no hole, no slider, no pop-up camera. It is symmetrical well balanced beautiful and in fact VERY SMALL top and bottom bezels. Nobody can tell with a straight face, this is what Google can do best with their immense resources meanwhile a small Chinese manufacturers design that beautiful thing.

                                        On the other hand camera module straight out copied from a dead Chinese manufacturer called LeEco. Do you remember LeEco Pro 3 and its WEIRD smiling face like camera module?

                                        I have to wonder if this is the result of having bezel loving thick headed old HTC team?
