Pixel 4 Cameras

The company has already unveiled a rear square camera bump which may also sport a ToF (time of flight) sensor to measure distance. The telephoto camera can zoom up to “8x”. It uses a mix of optical and digital zoom effects via software.
The Pixel 3 Super Res Zoom is also expected to be included with new “Motion Mode” for capturing photos in fast-paced scenes. Lastly the much-hyped Night Sight mode will help the camera to perform in low-light.
Upfront, Pixel 4 will have a single camera, a downgrade from the two cameras from Pixel 3 series. All the cameras will support the P3 wide color gamut for photos.
Pricing & India Launch
Pixel 4 series will be in line with the last generation predecessor series. In India, the cost is expected to be highly similar to Pixel 3 series in India. The company has lately been trying to focus on the Indian market, and Pixel 3A seemed like a failed try, but good enough for an impact.
With good Android stalwarts as OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S10 in place, the Pixel 4 has to be priced very strategically.
Recently, Apple also unveiled XR successor Apple 11 at a cheaper price than its predecessor. In India, the regular Pixel 4 will start somewhere around Rs 60,000, and the XL model at a higher price. There will be different storage models available for both Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL.
