The prominent design changes on the latest Pixel 4 is the rigid aluminum frame that runs around the phone with a solid, rubberized black coating. Apart from that, the device comes with a Benzel on the top and bottom and also the top-notch cut-out is no more in Pixel 4.
The back of the device also has a somewhat similar design as the new iPhone 11 with a large square bump that contains the cameras sitting in the top-left-angle.
As for the Pixel 4 phones, a different colored power button for the main body — another hallmark feature of Google’s Pixel 4 devices are the colors which are Just Black, Clearly White, and Oh So Orange (Limited Edition). The black color is glossy whereas the white opts for the Matte finish.

Conclusion:
The phone is fantastic!! Everything about it is Nice. The screen, camera, performance, and design. What’s not good about the phone is that it doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner, near Benzelless screen, big battery, and 3.5 mm jack (Google yet to release its Pixel buds until 2020). Other than that, it is Fantastic with a price tag of N2850,00 ($769).
