It features a flat display panel on the front and a dual-camera module without any awkward protrusions as such. It has a smooth, curved mid-frame around the display.
Speculations are rife that the device will have the same Tensor G4 chipset as the Pixel 9a (review), but will come with faster CPU speed. Also, it will pack a bigger battery.
