1.) Back Telephoto Camera w/ 54mm f/2.0 10 Mpx 1.4 um !
2.) Back 10 Mpx Depth Data Map Sensor !
Depending upon how they price it (at launch), it "could" be a Game Changer !

FWIW "face metrics" are stored on the Pixel in a secure enclave. You could have read up on it before posting nonsense.
Maybe it's the apple fanboy part of me talking, but this is as silly as the people who try to skirt the "hands free" driving law by holding the phone 10 inches in front of them while talking on speaker.
There is the use case of filming something where an LCD is somewhere in the frame without being the main subject.
It’s sort of just an iPhone 11 with a less powerful CPU and a notch the width of the screen. And it can’t even run iOS, ew

It's actually a flicker plus spectral sensor. Flicker is an issue when filming 60 fps video under LED or fluorescent lighting in countries with 50 Hz power lines. This is why those countries traditionally used 25/50 fps video, but now thanks to computers, 60 fps is becoming a worldwide standard. You can increasingly find this lighting flicker on YouTube and other sites. (It's also an issue in Japan because they use NTSC/60 Hz but the island is split into a 50 and 60 Hz power grid)
The iPhone has a similar spectral sensor already, the True Tone sensor. It allows for more accurate white balance.

Well, Uh, it is an android device
, I think anyone making that decision purchasing this phone, they probably already belong to an android device, rather it be Google or Samsung, but I think it’s the hardware aspect that these competitors are all trying project. The main aspect being the new camera for both Apple and Google.Whereas you're speculating about a product you have zero experience of. As usual.
Waiting to see camera reviews of Pixel 4 vs. Pro Max. Improved camera is my priority, with battery life a close second...
I'm guessing you decided to gloss over all those Apple privacy problems they've been having lately then huh? Oh maybe you don't care if someone listens to your Siri conversations, but If Google listens they are the devil! ...sigh.
The notch doesn't cut off video unless you're already cropping off the top and bottom.
You can tap on screen and have same display as pixel. What is real innovation?
The hand gestures aren't anything Apple does? I've never bought a pixel but saying that all they do is copy isn't a very true statement. At its base all smart phones today copied Apple from inception. But as time has passed they are starting to diverge more and more. I don't know that I'll ever buy a Pixel but if Apple adopted some of their features or if Pixel pushes Apple to develop new and better ones that is cool.
I wish Apple would have hid the lenses under the glass in the back bump like Google did. To me it looks much better. I’d still prefer the Pro over the Pixel though.
Pixel 4 XL will have a resolution of 1440x3040 (540ppi) and a 90 Hz refresh rate.
How do you "tap" to get those settings again?
Then why don't you just get a Pixel and move onto a Google forum? I just can't comprehend spending any part of your day on an Apple-centric site when you clearly hate the company so much. Do what you want, it just doesn't make any sense to me.
That depends on how you see the notch.
Instead of being a deformed top of the screen, i considered an extension for useful information that uses the area that would otherwise be just a useless bezel.
