Google Pixel 4 FAQGoogle’s latest Pixel 4 was perhaps one of the most leaked phones. Pixel 4 was announced last week and now it has come to light that the device supports 11W wireless charging. Strangely, Google didn’t mention the same during the launch.

According to the Wireless Power Consortium, Pixel 4 supports 11W wireless charging. The specification was updated a couple of days after Pixel 4 was launched. Needless to say, the Pixel 4XL will also support 11W wireless charging. In contrast, Pixel 3 and 3 XL offered wireless charging only via Pixel stand and other certified chargers. Also, Pixel 3 only supported 5W wireless charging. Meanwhile, the latest Pixel 4 will support 11W charging speed on all Qi chargers.

For displays, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL pack 5.7-inch FHD+ and 6.3-inch QHD+ OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Google will be marketing the higher refresh rate as Smooth Display. The higher refresh rate should make the Pixel 4 feel smoother to use than other Android flagships like the Galaxy S10, Note 10, and even the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro series.

The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL feature a dual-camera setup at the rear. This includes a primary 12MP f/1.8 shooter with OIS and a secondary 16MP telephoto sensor. While the entire smartphone industry is racing towards including an ultra-wide-angle sensor on its smartphones, Google has ditched it in favor of a telephoto sensor. Some of the new camera features on the Pixel 4 series include Astrophotography, Action Mode, improved Night Sight, Super Res Zoom, Live HDR+, Dual Exposure control, and more. Want to buy Pixel 4?
