Google continues to follow Apple's lead when designing its own Pixel 4 smartphones. Available in Singapore from Oct 24, they come in two screen sizes, the 5.7-inch Pixel 4 and the 6.3-inch Pixel 4 XL. Except for the screen size and battery capacity, they are identical in every other way.

The lack of a fingerprint sensor also creates problems in third-party apps. Many Android apps only support biometric authentication for fingerprints. For instance, the DBS and UOB bank apps do not support face unlock yet. Google said several popular password manager apps support face unlock, with more apps in the works.

It is also used to sense the presence of people. This can be used to prepare the phone for face unlock, or to save power by turning off the always-on display when there is no one nearby. In any case, there is no ultra-wide camera. But Google has improved the Pixel 4's camera, such as by having dual exposure controls that let users adjust the highlights and shadows of a scene in the viewfinder before shooting. This feature is easy to understand and use for non-experts and can achieve artistic shots like having the subject in silhouette.
