At its hardware event in New York City today, Google announced the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, succeeding the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, respectively. The headphone jack is still missing, but at least the notch is gone.

If you’re going from the Pixel 3 to the Pixel 4, you’ll get a slightly larger and heavier phone, with a bigger screen but smaller battery. If you’re going from the Pixel 3 XL to the Pixel 4 XL, the same is true, except you will get a slightly larger battery. In both cases, you’ll be paying the same, swapping dual front facing cameras for dual rear facing cameras, and getting a faster processor. Oh, and Google has finally upped the RAM, though other Android flagships still have way more.
