Just when you thought it was unlikely to get any worse, a new leak has revealed a hideous orange/coral colour scheme. Here are the photos.
Google Pixel 4 will come in a bright coral orange, according to an alleged photo leaked on Chinese social media app, Weibo, and reported by Android Central.

Image: WeiboThe Google Pixel releases have always come in three colours but dare I say, none so bold. The Pixel 3 came in standard black and white as well as a light shade of pastel pink. Before that, some came in 'Kinda Blue', a greyish-blue shade, as well as 'Really Blue', a similarly daring royal blue.
Previously, it was anticipated the third colour might be a much more subtle mint green, according to Forbes. But if the leak turns out to be true, Google is going for a vibrant 2019 look. It's called fashion darlings, look it up.
Specs-wise, it's rumoured to be a beast. While the battery is a little lower than we hoped, both the Pixel 4 and its larger sibling, the XL, is expected to feature a Snapdragon 855 chip and 6-gigabytes of RAM with a 64-gigabyte or 128-gigabyte option available.
Rumoured Specs |
| Pixel 4 | Pixel 4 XL | |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | 6 GB | 6 GB |
| Display | 5.7-inch OLED with Full HD+, 90Hz | 6.3-inch OLED with Quad HD+, 90Hz |
| CPU | Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chip | Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chip |
| Storage/Memory | 64/128 GB | 64/128 GB |
| Battery | 2800 mAh | 3700 mAh |
| Camera | 12MP with phase-detect auto-focus, 16MP telephoto lens | 12MP with phase-detect auto-focus, 16MP telephoto lens |
The Google Pixel 4 is expected to be announced in October.
It's Official: Google Pixel 4 Is Hideous [Updated]
Google's Pixel smartphone series is known for its software rather than its sleek designs. Their upcoming Pixel 4 seems to be no exception. Which is a polite way of saying it looks like a dead dog's arse.

I would take Functionality over Appearance every time.
I mean, surely most people use cases now anyway.
I'm not sure what is wrong with Orange. Actually I think it is one of the more interesting phone colours. In fact if Apple brought out and orange phone I'd probably be first in line.
I too, would take Functionality over Appearance. Who here does not have a cover on their phone?
But then again the phone is manufactured in an unsavoury country and Pixel updates are rather dubious in that they are self-destructing - this is when Google has their second laugh. Hey Google - thanks.
Why is this a problem? Apple doesn't seem to think this is a problem. There's another article here on Lifehacker (https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2019/09/more-iphone-11-images-leak-online/) that shows that the latest iPhone will also have a protruding camera. Clearly, that seems the be the go these days.
