-[* black] We line up our new Oh So Orange Pixel 4 XL with last year's Clearly White 3 XL and make a few observations:
- [* black] Notably absent are the front-facing speakers and the fingerprint sensor of yesteryear. The new speaker placement still counts as stereo sound, but one speaker just blasts out the bottom of the phone into your hand instead of at your face.
- [* black] SIM tray also moved, likely to accommodate aforementioned speaker change
- [* black] The Pixel 3's notch has evolved into a whole bezel! While everyone else in the industry has been doing their darndest to get rid of notches and bezels, Google seems to be actively working to bring them back.
- [* black] At least they put the space to good use: inside they've crammed infrared facial recognition hardware, a wide-angle front-facing camera, and a cool radar chip.

+[* black] Lining up our new ''Oh So Orange'' Pixel 4 XL against last year's ''Clearly White'' 3 XL invites a few observations:
+ [* black] Notable changes include the loss of (one of) the front-facing speakers and the fingerprint sensor of yesteryear. The new speaker setup still counts as stereo sound, but the lower speaker fires out the bottom (like an iPhone) instead of at your face.
+ [* black] The SIM tray also packed up and moved, likely to accommodate aforementioned speaker placement.
+ [* black] The Pixel 3's notch has evolved into a whole bezel! While everyone else in the industry works furiously to eliminate notches and bezels, Google's approach seems a little more laid-back.
+ [* black] At least they put the space to good use: inside they've crammed infrared facial recognition hardware, a wide-angle front-facing camera, and a cool new radar thing.
