Information Leaks Out from Google
The month of April is off to a flying start with an early leak regarding Google‘s Pixel 4. The upcoming smartphone is referenced directly via a new comment from the Android Open Source Project (via 9to5mac).
The plan was to first deploy this on Pixel 3 and make sure that everything actually works. Then move on to Pixel 4 and so on. If I had a Pixel 4 device, I probably wouldn’t have bothered with 4.9 in the first place
