Pixel 4 Release Date Revealed By Tipster
Google is gearing up to release the latest iteration of their flagship smartphone, with the Pixel 4 expected to launch this fall. Of course, an official release date hasn’t yet been announced for the device, but thanks to some insider information from a tipster we now have a much better idea of when to expect it.
This new information comes from Max Weinbach, who has proven to be reliable in the past. He claims that Google gave the device to carriers all the way back in July, which means that we must be very close to launch at this point. Some of the carriers that have had the device all this time include T-Mobile and Verizon, who apparently have been running tests for the modem and software.
As for the release date, Weinbach claims that the Pixel 4 will be getting an October release. It’s likely that the company will officially announce and unveil the device at the beginning of the month, with pre-orders going live and then the device launching by the end of the month. This is the same pattern that the company has followed in the past regarding their previous Pixel launches, so they will likely stick to the formula once again for this release.
Now we move on to what to expect from the device itself, and thanks to the numerous leaks that have already happened we have a good idea. A square bump is expected to be present on the back of the device to accommodate the multi-sensor camera array. Three sensors are expected to be included, which are the primary sensor, telephoto unit and a depth sensor. Other things like a selfie snapper, 3D face recognition technology and a 90Hz display are also expected.
Of course, this needs to be taken with a grain of salt at this point because it isn’t the official word from Google. We’ll let you know as soon as the official word is released, so be sure to stay tuned for that.
A PS5 firmware update on a cold winter morning is unmatched. The latest PS5 system software update is 23.02–08.40.00 from Sony. Does this one add useful features or just boost system performance?
Though closer to the latter, it’s more than Sony’s favorite patch note. It fixes security issues, improves messages and usability, and boosts system software performance. Official patch notes for this 1.185GB update:
- We updated system software security
- We improved system software stability and performance
- Some screens now have better messages and usability
That’s it. PS5 gets another win to recover from its midweek slump. Do you share our enthusiasm for this firmware update? Comment below. To spice things up, make your comment rhyme.
Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.
Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.
Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?
We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.
TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.
TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.
TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.
