Google Pixel 4 leak reveals 'official' specs and something called the Pixel Neural Core

We're just over a week away from the launch of Google's Pixel 4 smartphones, and yet the leaks continue to trickle out. The latest reveal comes from 9to5Google, which has reportedly obtained the official spec sheet for the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. 

While it doesn't reveal anything particularly new, and mostly serves to confirm existing rumours, it almost seems certain now that the Pixel 4 phones will come equipped with a Snapdragon 855 chip, 6GB of RAM, and either 64GB or 128GB storage capacities. The main differences between the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will be screen size and battery life. The Pixel 4 will have a 2,800mAh battery and 5.7-inch screen, while the Pixel 4 XL bumps that up to a 3,700mAh battery and 6.3-inch screen. Both are expected to have a high refresh rate 90Hz OLED display. 

There's also mention of something called the Pixel Neural Core, which seems like a newer version of last year's Pixel Visual Core, a dedicated image processing chip. The Pixel 4 is expected to be another heavy hitter in the smartphone camera space, with an astrophotography mode that promises to deliver some impressive low-light performance. 

The spec sheet shed light on what will come in the box of each Pixel 4 as well, at least in the US. This includes a 1m USB-C to USB-C cable, an 18W USB-C power adapter, a Quick Switch Adapter with female USB-A to male USB-C, a SIM tool, and a Quick Start guide. 

It seems like the Pixel 4 will not come with a USB-C headphone adapter or even USB-C earbuds as the Pixel 3 did last year. Some countries require phone manufacturers to include headphones though, so it's possible that USB-C earbuds will show up there.
