A new leak found "floating around on Telegram" gives us our rumoured first look at the front of Pixel 4. These two photos were shared to Twitter by XDA's Mishaal Rahman. The image seems to be the smaller Pixel 4, but with Google seemingly getting rid of the notch, it might be harder to tell the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL apart. We see a screen with a thin bottom bezel and a top bezel that isn't too tall despite the number of sensors it has. When compared to the Pixel 3, it has a narrow yet slightly taller speaker grill in the middle. You can spot the ambient light/proximity sensor flashing, while the single front-facing camera is next to it. We can't tell yet if it’s a regular or wide-angle lens. We can't make out the face unlock IR camera on the left or the Soli radar chip to the right of center. The face unlock dot projector, second IR camera, and flood illuminator aren't visible in this photo as well.

This device looks to be running Android 10, at least according to the gesture navigation bar and Assistant handles. The black background could be a live wallpaper. And it shows two onscreen notifications for "Pixel Setup" and the Play Store. Sprint is the carrier used on this phone as you can see on the top-left corner, which means this could be a test unit sent to the carrier.

The second shot shows the rear of the phone, which Google has shown before. Another film protects the big camera stack. Reports claim that it has a 12MP primary camera with phase-detect autofocus and a 16MP telephoto lens. You can also make out the sizable flash unit in the photo. The back of the phone seems quite shiny (making it a fingerprint magnet) and you can see the gentle curve of the glass into the frame. The angle also gives us a view of the power button and volume rocker.
