Can't say we've seen something like this happen before.
What you need to know
On June 10, surfaced of the Google Pixel 4 — giving us our first credible look at the phone. Just a couple of days later, Google did the unthinkable and confirmed the design by sharing its own official render on Twitter.
This official render matches the leaked one almost shot-for-shot, including the slick glass back and large rear camera housing. Google's render confirms that the Pixel 4 will consist of two rear cameras, an LED flash, and another sensor of some kind that could be used for depth-mapping or something else entirely.
As you can see, Google's also going for a much different design with the Pixel 4 than what we've seen in the past three generations. It looks like the company is finally ditching the two-tone style on the back and instead favoring a more traditional aesthetic. I always liked the look of Pixel phones, but after having the same general design recycled for three years, it'll be nice to have something different.
Specs-wise, the Pixel 4 remains mostly a mystery. It's safe to say that it'll be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 processor and ship with , but outside of that, your guess for its RAM, storage, battery, etc. is as good as ours.
Despite this early confirmation from Google, we're still not expecting the Pixel 4 to launch until this fall — likely in October. That makes this decision to confirm the phone's existence and design all the more peculiar, but considering how much the Pixel 3 series leaked last year, this is probably in Google's best interest to already acknowledge what's out there.
