Orange Google Pixel 4 leaks alongside black and white models
On Monday there was no Pixel 4 news but on Tuesday Google’s flagship received FCC approval and by Wednesday Best Buy had started promoting the phone. Thursday’s headlines were dominated by the first Pixel 4 hands-on video while yesterday a bunch of features were detailed. Today, yet another leak has appeared.
Spotted first by Ben Geskin, one Weibo accounted posted a photo earlier today of three Google Pixel 4 units laying face-down on a table. The devices in question provide yet another clear glimpse at Google’s redesigned rear panel and show off the range of colors that are planned this year.
The Pixel, Pixel 2, and Pixel 3 were all made available to purchase in Black and white/silver upon launch in addition to a third color option. The first-gen model, for example, was sold in Really Blue white its successor settled for a noticeably more subtle Kinda Blue option. Last year’s Pixel 3 switched things up with a Not Pink option but in 2019 Google could return to its roots.
As shown by today’s leaked photo and corroborated by the hands-on videos that appeared earlier this week, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will be sold in the usual black and white color options. But rather than selecting a neutral third color, Google has chosen a rather bright orange-like finish that’ll most certainly catch people’s attention in public.
The marketing names Google has planned for the Pixel 4 color options are yet to be revealed but something quirky is most likely planned. The black option, on the one hand, could be branded as ‘Deep Black’ while the white version could go by ‘Very White.’ As for the orange color, that could be branded as ‘Almost Coral,’ ‘Simply Orange,’ or something funny like ‘Not Apple,’ although the latter could get Google into legal trouble with Apple.
