Top bezel, way to big lol

[Ted Inoue]

That's a pretty small bezel, compared to those of older phones that people absolutely *loved* for their sleek and beautiful design! My Pixel 3 (non-XL) looks great, and relatively, it's bezel is larger.

Haters are going to hate. Long live the bezel!

I'm cool with it, it's better than a huge notch. As long as the screen is high quality, and we get more than 4 gigs of ram I'm sold.

This doesn't look too bad to me.

You leave Jack out of this

No...Pixel left it out. Samsung is next

I'm ready whoever throws it away , wait I have phones without them and with them

No...Pixel left it out. Samsung is next

To be fair (as others have pointed out), it’s either bezel or notch. To cram in the dual selfie cameras and many sensors (for facial recognition amongst other things), it has to be either of the two. And from Google’s perspective they don’t want to risk another 3 XL farce, so a slim bezel is the safe option.

I agree the renders of the 4 XL don’t look very aesthetically pleasing...but they aren’t as bad as some people make it to be.

And remember...apparently it’ll have dual/triple rear cameras AND dual selfie cameras...knowing what Google can do with 1 rear lens, I have high hopes for its camera abilities.

^^^^ this^^^^ I am excited to see what they can do with dual cameras and telephoto lens on the P4.

I don't mind the bezels if as rumored they are doing face id like secure face authentication. If that's not the case then going with the Samsung infinity O displays like S10 makes sense.

So I'll put the pitch forks down until I know what all tech is behind that bezel.

Just curious...where are the proximity/light sensors on "all screen" phones like the 1+7 pro?

 

[Juan Ramos4]

I dont know who told phone manufacturers that we dont want bezels, as long as they are not exaggerated, and serve a purpose.

Ah, bezel hysteria is back. I was wondering if it would.

Most ridiculous thing. People should look at their own forehead and chin with that same scrutiny.

Can't have a pop-up camera, can't have a notch... Can't have a bezel...hate the pinhole....wow people.

Good question , I gotta look that one up.

 

[TraderGary]

Is that a speaker "hole punch" cutout on the bottom of the screen?

 

[KrisYYC]

I have no problem with bezels to begin with, but if the Pixel 4 needs a bezel because it'll have secure face ID similar to the iPhone X/XS then I'm all for it! Function over form!

Not that I’m expecting this, but I hope they don’t do a Nokia 9 where their camera app suffers from crashing/lag because it can’t handle all the lenses.

After 3 years with just 1 camera I hope Google improves their camera software to be able to cope with the 2 new lenses and maybe a faster app launch time.
