The Google Pixel 4 will be official Tuesday, but detail leaks continue. The most pertinent information now is how much the devices will cost, and evidence from 9to5Google suggests a 64GB Pixel 4 XL model, in particular, could start at $999. Documents from Best Buy reveal fairly traditional Verizon and Sprint carrier support.
If accurate, this would mean the Pixel 4XL will get a $100 price increase from the 2018 Pixel 3XL. Subsequently, the standard Pixel 4 may sell for about $899, though price details for this model have not leaked.
With Google’s smartphone series now being more international than ever, availability details for other markets have also surfaced ahead of the launch. Reports reveal that Best Buy in Canada will offer the Pixel 4 models at the carrier Bell, Rogers, Telus, Virgin Mobile. Fido, Koodo.
There was a preorder page up, detailing that consumers could reserve a handset for $50 CAD, but the page has since been removed. While full details were not available with this leak, prior leaks have suggested the Pixel 4 may sell for $1,049.95 CAD and the Pixel 4 XL for $1,199.95 CAD. The Best Buy page also showcased more render images and specs sheets for the Pixel 4 models.
The Pixel 4 will also be available in the U.K. on the carrier Three, according to a Reddit leak. Those who preorder from the network will be eligible to get an HP Chromebook 14 for free. The netbook is valued at about £219.99, making it a pretty sweet perk for a smartphone series than has rapidly increased in price.
Additionally, prices have surfaced at the Irish retailer, Elara suggesting that Pixel 4 may sell for €819.98 and the Pixel 4 XL for €1126.68. Though all of these pricing details are available they are all yet to be confirmed.
While the Pixel 4 price increases, there is also word of the Pixel 3 price dropping ahead of the Made by Google product launch. The 64GB Pixel 3 XL has been discovered on Amazon for $551.06 and the 128GB model for $698.19.
However, Google’s unveiling is less than 24-hours away and will be live-streamed from New York City. The event starts at 10 a.m. ET, which eqyares to 7 a.m. PT and 3 p.m. UK.

The Pixel 4 models will, of course, run the latest Android 10 software, which is expected to include as one of its highlights, a feature called Motion Sense that is projected to vastly improve gesture functions on Google’s new smartphones.
