I have a lot of questions about the latest Pixel 4 leaks. The going theory is that the Pixel 4 will have facial recognition login capabilities. So far, the main way we've seen that done is with an IR dot projector and an IR camera. But everyone seems to be speculating that the big cutout on the right side of the Pixel 4's (alleged) upper bezel is for Soli, a radar-based gesture recognition system that Google tested a few years ago (which... who knows if anyone wants). So where do the IR components go? I don't think they're on the left. (That looks like two selfie cams and a proximity sensor to me.) It makes me think they're either on the right (and it's not a Soli system), or it is Soli, and that's doubling as some sort of radar face mapping system. Or I'm just wildly off, which seems just as likely. -Jake |
