Now, going by a recent leak, the Pixel 4 will feature a 5.8-inch full-HD+ OLED screen while the XL model will get a larger and sharper 6.3-inch QHD+ OLED display. The screens on both the handsets will also support a 90Hz refresh rate to allow for smoother scrolling and swiping experience, more fluid animations, as well as an overall better gaming experience.
