Google Pixel 4 - What the 'Made by Google' keynote didn't say!

Google talked about a lot of the Pixel 4 features (and we knew a lot beforehand), but not everything was mentioned on stage. Here's what you missed!

Last year, the entire tech community was convinced that the Pixel 3 was perhaps the most leaked device of the year – to the extent that we knew almost everything about the phone's hardware. This year, with the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL, Google took a rather defensive step by revealing tidbits about the device itself. This decision to brace the proclivity of the current market, along with the insane number of leaks, meant that the Made by Google event didn't have many surprises. Unfortunately for Google (we feel you!), a big percentage of the software features were already revealed, thanks to the stream of exposés by our Editor-in-Chief, Mishaal Rahman. Google didn't even attempt to hide anything and started the keynote by displaying a picture of everything they had to announce.

The headlining feature of the Pixel series has always been the camera. While other aspects have failed to match the competition, camera performance has always been a compelling reason to buy the phones. Google has always offered 3 years of free, original quality Google Photos storage to Pixel owners to fully take advantage of the cameras. Unfortunately, it looks like that offer will not be continued with the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL.

It's that time of the year again and Made by Google is stepping into the limelight. We're barely finished recovering from I/O back in May, which ultimately gave us Android 10. Now, after all the software madness, it's time for the hardware to shine. The focus of the event is obviously the Pixel 4, but every modern smartphone needs a good pair of wireless earphones to match. That's where the latest iteration of the Pixel Buds come in.

Google’s smartphone business has had mixed success, but some of its other hardware ventures have been much more successful. Take the Chromecast, for example, a product that has brought Google Cast, and by extension easy access to Google’s library of music and videos, to millions of homes around the world. The Chromecast’s success can be attributed to its low price and ease of use, making it an impulse buy that can be picked up by not only tech enthusiasts but also the average consumer. The Google Home Mini is another product that has been wildly successful for Google for much of the same reason, and today, the company has announced a refreshed model: the Google Nest Mini.

Speed, Simplicity, and Security: This is Google’s motto for Chrome OS, its Linux-based operating system for laptops. Google has gained a foothold in the education market thanks to the low system requirements of Chrome OS, leading to a proliferation of cheap Chromebooks among students. However, Google has struggled to expand the appeal of Chrome OS outside of this market. They hope to change this with the Pixelbook Go.
