Google Pixel 4 XL is expected to unveil on 15 October this year. Several leaks including a few hands-on videos gave out the specs of the upcoming smartphones. As per the latest leak, Google Pixel 4 XL is expected to come with a Face Unlock feature and an updated Google Assistant.

A Nextrift report suggests that the Pixel 4 XL will not feature any fingerprint sensor at the back or any in-fingerprint sensor opting instead for a FaceID-like authentication. The report also reveals that the smartphone will come with next-generation Google Assistant as promised at the Google I/O 2019 event held in May.

The next-gen Google Assistant will reportedly work on the device (Google Pixel 4 XL) which makes it faster by processing the information on the Google servers.
