Many phones have ??? ?? ????been called the "most leaked device ever" — last year's Pixel phones are a good example — but surely that honor now belongs to Google's Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL.
More than a month before the official unveiling on Oct. 15, we already knew what the phones look like and a lot about what their cameras can do. But somehow, more info keeps trickling in, and now, 9to5Google has scored an official-looking, complete spec sheet for both phones.
Here's what it says.

Both the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM, 64/128GB of storage, a dual, 12/16-megapixel camera, stereo speakers, face unlocking capabilities, and Android with guaranteed three years of updates.
Nothing shocking here, thanks to previous leaks, but there are a couple of features you won't find on other phones. Both devices have Google's Motion Sense tech which lets you perform various actions with hand gestures, without touching the phone. They also have something called Pixel Neural Core, which sounds like an AI-based image processing chip.
The two phones differ in battery capacity (2,800mAh vs. 3,700mAh) and display size (5.7-inch vs. 6.3-inch). Both displays are OLED and have a 90Hz refresh rate. The resolution on the smaller Pixel 4 is Full HD+, while the Pixel 4 XL has a Quad HD+ resolution.
The spec sheet even reveals what comes in the box beside the phone: A 1m USB-C to USB-C cable, an 18W charger, and a Quick Switch (that's USB-A to USB-C) adapter. What, no earbuds, you ask? Well, it's possible that the phones will ship with them in some countries, while they may be absent in others. Notably, there are rumors of new Pixel Buds being announced at the Oct. 15 event as well, so they may be sold separately.

The battery capacity on the Pixel 4, as well as the starting storage size of 64GB on both phones, are a little disappointing.
Amazingly, even with all these leaks and rumors detailing every aspect of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, I still believe Oct. 15 will be an interesting event. Google's phones aren't so much about flashy hardware specs but smart camera processing and integration with bleeding edge Android features, and Google always has a few hidden tricks in these departments.
