It appears the marketing videos for the Pixel 4 have leaked, showing the upcoming phone's two cool features: a new and improved Google Assistant and a Motion Sense gesture control system.
Google already confirmed the existence of these two features previously, but the search giant didn't exactly provide us with enough visual aids. What doesn't stop short of showing us what we want though is 9to5Google, who was gracious enough to share the leaked marketing videos for the Pixel 4.
The first Pixel 4 tease from Google actually came during the I/O 2019 keynote. The company demoed its "next-generation assistant," which have now manifested on the leaked footage.
The new Google Assistant is shown off with both visual and performance improvements that are currently absent from the voice assistant we have right now. One of the clips shows Assistant displaying transit directions within Google Assistant slide-up window that opens when you summon it.
It's worth noting that Google has decided to stop the Assistant from taking over the full screen once summoned. This is a welcome change - you no longer have to stop whatever you're doing just to make commands.
As for the new Motion Sense, the leak shows that the Pixel 4 can perform things with just a wave of your hand over the device. You can silence phone calls, snooze alarms, and skip songs without having to touch your phone.
The Pixel 4's new Motion Sense is powered by Project Soli, a system for gesture control that comes in a tiny chip, which has kept Google's experimental ATAP division busy since 2016.
Google has already demoed how Motion Sense works. The search giant showed what it looks like to switch songs, which can be achieved by sliding your hand across the Pixel 4, granted your music streaming device supports the feature. As for other commands, the same gesture can be applied apparently. Simply move your hand over the phone, and your phone is silenced, and your alarm snoozed.
These video leaks sure are neat, but Google has already confirmed these features exist. It's cool to see them in action, though. We sure are looking forward to Google Assistant's new features, which are believed can only be accessed on Pixel 4.
Google's Pixel event is on Oct. 15, but we're betting a good few leaks will emerge until then. So far, the leaked videos haven't disappointed us. What do you think?
