This is precisely what Lew saws will be the case, based on the new leaked model.

Strangely, this new leak is completely opposite of everything leaked so far: no hole-punch camera, no in-display fingerprint, with bezels, with buttons.

Gotta say...not really a fan of the square camera cutout.
Don't mind the front bezel to make room for some kind of Face Unlock if it is as good as FaceID.

Excited to see what Google does with multiple cameras on the back. Considering how great the single lens in the current Pixels are!

I’m not saying the square cutout and decent size front bezel is the actual design. But I did say at the time the hole punch renders came out, it felt like because the S10 was well received, people made them and just assigned them to the Pixel.

Totally agreed on the bezel. I'm a stickler when it comes to symmetrics. So if they can pull off a bezel like the Pixel 3 I'm still ok with that.

PS. Is it October yet?

Something tells me they will be releasing the new Pixels earlier than normal this year. No way they leak the back design and then wait 4+ months to release right?
Exactly what I was thinking. The camera looks like a baby's face. lol

Fair play to Google for just saying **** it and showing us the phone only a few days after leaks suggesting the square camera layout. I prefer other camera layouts but it's what's inside that counts. And we all know Google will nail the performance with hardware and (so far) unbeatable software.

Fair play Google!
Don't know why they don't all just do that. Nothing is ever a surprise in the mobile world anymore. In terms of upcoming releases, anyway.

Looking like they've done away with the 2 tone back. And given that recent iPhone leaks also have a square camera array in the top left corner, I wonder if they've leaked it to get one up on Apple.

Most people will just assume whoever releases their phone last have copied the design from others. So getting it out in the open now will put the idea into people's heads that Apple copied Google if they end up looking very similar (at least on the back).
