Smartphone makers usually remain quiet when leaks about their products emerge. But not Google. The company decided to confirm the recent leaks by showing off a picture of the upcoming Pixel 4.
On Wednesday, the official @MadeByGoogle Twitter account posted an image of the smartphone's back. "Well, since there seems to be some interest, here you go!" the account tweeted. "Wait 'til you see what it can do #Pixel4."

The picture matches recent leaks, which claim the Pixel 4 is being designed with a square camera module, possibly containing two, if not three camera lenses. The photo from Google also shows the absence of a fingerprint sensor on the back, which was present on the Pixel 3. That could mean the company swapped it out for an in-display fingerprint reader or possibly abandoned it entirely for a face-unlocking system.
The picture doesn't reveal much else. But the tweet from Google will no doubt drum up some buzz for the company's Pixel smartphones when last year's flagship models struggled to attract consumers.
We'll have to wait and see whether the Pixel 4 will fare better. Not everyone may like the square bulge on the back, but the large camera module indicates it might be a serious upgrade over the Pixel 3's already impressive photo-taking capabilities.
In the meantime, the company last month released two midrange smartphone called the Pixel 3a and 3a XL, which have been receiving positive reviews.
